May I humbly suggest a tip?I hate these kinds of people.
Should have asked for $500.
Change "I hate these kinds of people" to "I hate it when people do that".
Personally, I try not to use the word hate, and I don't mind it when people put in cheeky offers. Fair play to them for trying.
I remember having a laugh with the guys trying to sell camel rides near the pyramids. They hounded my friend because they could see it wound him up, and they were clearly bored.
"Want a ride on my camel?"
"No thanks. I already have 5 camels at home!"
"Want a photo with my camel?
"No thanks. He's much better looking than me!"
"Can I buy your table for half price?"
"Sure, where do you want me to send the other two legs?"
Etc.
Depends if they're rude or not. If they're rude I just don't reply or turn my back and walk away. Or sometimes I start giving them the rope to hang themselves.
All that to say words matter, and protecting our cheerfulness and peacefulness matters.
YMMV
