Yea, he totally sounds like the kind of guy who totally consults his girlfriend as a equal partner in the relationship.

Dude stfu. You know nothing about me and are branding me as some dirtbag. Sorry i dont think everything in life is carefree and harmless.
 
Maybe the guy is a man whore and she was paying him? Dude must have been aggressive when he realized he was not getting paid.

Ignore them, you were right. There's some shady people out there and people fall victim to scams all the time.

smh @ the people turning this into some male dominance issue.

Letting a stranger into the house and willing to spend 50 bucks out of fear of saying no isn't acting like a child?

Serious question.

Sure, it sucks, but it's not any more life altering than someone getting your CC# or your debit card # and using that. There was also a claim of identity theft which I'm not sure is possible with a routing and account number.

Identity theft isn't limited to stealing ones social security number. It also includes check fraud if the victims name is used same as using a credit card.

Also, with name, address, checking account number, along with if the guy casually worked in a birthday into the sales pitch(which is quite common) gives someone all the information they need. Plus, its extremely easy to obtain ones social security number over the internet.

That's the main reason they target bad neighborhoods and apartments. Those people are far less likely to check their credit regularly, making themselves an easier target for these crimes.

Besides, you support 80% of the finances, so you get to control her actions 80% of the time.

That's called being fair.

You're the one who says he tells his girlfriend what to do then justifies by saying that you pay for a higher percentage of the rent.

You're branding yourself.

I don't tell my finacee not to do anything.

We talk, like adults.

If I told the mother of my child to not do something, she'd laugh quite heartily at me.

You have never told your girlfriend she's ever done anything wrong? If she did something as stupid as this, you'd say "ah, it's no problem" and not tell her not to do it again?

I applaud you.

You have to be trolling at this point.

Seems like GAF is trolling the OP. OP sounds perfectly reasonable.
 
Fuzzy, I think that you should tell her that it's not safe letting people in the home, especially since it's an unsafe neighborhood. Just make sure that you tell her calmly and use logic. If you're scared about the guy coming again then just make sure you have proper locks on the doors. Ignore what the other people are saying. They're confusing equality in a relationship with stupidity and apathy towards your partner in a relationship. If you're concerned about her well-being then you have every right to tell her what she is doing wrong. If not then you don't love her, understand? So all the other idiots on this thread that are saying that you should mind your own business have no clue as to how a healthy relationship works. It doesn't work by one person doing their own thing and the other person doing their own thing and then those two people just fuck every now and then. It's an intra and co-dependency between the two people and if one of those people has trouble in one area then the other person helps them. Common sense people. Damn.

I let strangers into my house all the time to talk with them about things. It's a thing adults do.

where did i say that

i was simply stating and that is not even the issue at hand.

If she would of bought some magazines off line, i would of though "hey thats kinda a waste of money" but it would be a issue. Thats not what happened though

Naive adults sure.

You never let a stranger into your house (unless it's part of something professional that was planned like an installation of something), where did you grow up?

Just be happy nothing happend. Talk to her. Thats really all you can do. You can't have expectations that she will feel the same way you do. You're just going to let yourself down with that attitude.

Why? Because he manned up and took charge? I guess if it was you the salesman would have sold you 10 more subscriptions all while giving your girl a reacharound.

Your girlfriend is dumb. You are right but neogaf will always find a way to shit on the OP no matter what the thread is about.

Obviously, she's with the OP.

No, but seriously folks, misogyny is terrible.
 
at least he wasn't a kirby vacuum salesman who spends 4 hours in your house and won't leave no matter what. and feels free to walk around every corner of your house to show you how "great" their 3000 vacuum is.

What's it like to live in such fear?
 
I'm 100% behind the OP. I probably would've reacted similarly. It's clear his intent was to protect his GF and the home they live in. Let's hope the guy you kicked isn't some crazy/stupid guy.
 
This thread is hilarious.

The sales man is no doubt lurking outside of the windows right now, watching their every move.

Well you got me there. Seems like a lot of work though, especially on those in poorer neighborhoods where they might not have a lot of money to begin with.

Letting someone know they made a stupid decision is not misogyny.

You gots to be trollin right now, hardcore.

Who said anything about fear? Everyone is taught never to let strangers into your house, you talk with them at the front door.

Am I taking crazy pills or do all of you guys live in some suburb of Canada?
 
I wouldn't feel right about a door to door salesman myself. I would probably actually call the cops on the guy after I refuse entry. A door to door salesman is perfect cover for casing a neighborhood to find out what house to rob.

Unfortunately once you have given her the money you have surrendered control over it, unless you gave it to her on the proviso that she only spend it on things you deem worthy in which case you never really gave it to her. The $55 is hers to spend as she sees fit you have no input in that.

I get what you are saying but your wife is a grown woman she is capable of making her own decisions even bad ones and you have no control over that, you can bitch and moan but they are hers. The issue I can see here is her lack of assertiveness, that is all.

ps - the OP makes you look like a controlling jackass
 
Havent read the thread yet but yeah hahahah who sells magazines door to door? I guess for Xmas...but 55 bucks worth of magazines? Was it her money? If so, fuck it. But if she has your checkbook, why?
 
I don't even crack the door with the chain hooked unless I was expecting the person at the door.

I think some people are ignoring how frustrating it can be when someone you care about does something so stupid and dangerous. Finding the right tone in the heat of the moment is extremely difficult.

Letting someone know they made a mistake is cool.

Telling your GF not to let stranger into her apartment because she's small and it's dangerous, and also consider him makes 80% of the money, is misogyny.
 
Why are you trying to knock this man's hustle? Dude is just trying to to put food on the table, times are tough and he was just doing his job. Thought he had a sale and you stole it from him.
