I had a similar experience with the Asahi Shimbun salesman. Glentle 
pushing and "mou ii, itte kudasai" turning into "hayaku ike baka yarou, 
mata kuru na" and lots of rough shoving. He wasn't planning on leaving 
until he had met my Japanese wife so I had to rough him up just to close 
my door.

The last JW that visited was a cute Fillipino. Had her in tears within a 
few minutes.
