My dad, who is the mildest pushover in everything else in his life, has a spine of steel when it comes to those "come hear a pitch for a time share/sales product/whatever and get a free gift!" things. He happily shows up, listens to the pitch, refuses, listens to the harder sell, refuses again, and keeps refusing until they give up and give him his restaurant gift card or whatever it is they're offering. The time share people HATE him. It's kind of hilarious.
