Creepy Guy: Hey kids, do you want some candy?

Next time a stranger offers you candy, just think about all the cavities you'd get (Boi nah)

COMPUTER GUY: This message was brought to you by the Dentists of America Association.

James: You've all heard the phrase 'Stranger Danger', right? {Yup}

Probably a parent or guardian taught you that you should never trust strangers.

And this really good advice because you're just a dumb kid who doesn't know what a pedophile is.

But all those parents/guardians grew up without the internet {I'm sorry for them}

And, err...the internet is full of strangers.

FLASHBACK: I used to have a speech impediment when I was little.

FLASHBACK: I think it was the halloween after the bunny.

FLASHBACK: I, James, was a bedwetter until I was 8 {on one hand} years old!

You do know... quite a few personal details {Just a tad}

The internet changes how we talk to people.

Meaning it's a lot easier to talk to strangers on the internet than in real life

Because, on the internet, you can find people with the same interents, hobbies and fetishes as you do.

But I find it so hard to talk to new people.

I would never have enough confidence to be a door-to-door salesman.

There a some jobs {Sooubway} where you have to deal with annoying customers,

[TEXT ON SCREEN BTW IT SAYS THIS] You're the annoying one.

But I was just thinking I could use another one

James: Then you probably don't need this, I'm sorry for wasting your time!

One time I did have to be a door-to-door salesman for a Boy Scouts activity.

But I wasn't even selling anything I was just telling people about a can food drive the scouts were doing. {Coz u no}

As a troop, it was our job to go door-to-door to see if therewas any non-perishable food that they were willing to donate

Being a nervous little kid probably benifited me,

Because a lot of people were really nice, and a lot of people donated stuff.

And even the people who didn't donate we're like:

*o*: Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have anything on me.

Lil James: You don't have any canned foods?

Well, dude, that's perfect! The house nextdoor just gave me some!

But there were two houses i went to that I still remember to this day.

One guy pointed to his 'NO SOLICTING' sign,

I always thought that soliciting meant I couldn't sell you something not that I couldn't ask you for free food!

And at the other house, all the guy said was:

And then both houses slammed the door in my face.

And yeah, looking back at the situation, I got off pretty easily.

People who are every-day door-to-door salesman probably have to deal with way worse stuff every day! {WOOF!}

But as a fragile-minded kid who was just doing what his scout master told him to do,

those experiences scarred me {I wantto give u a hug :( }

So I'm usually the person on the other side of the door.

I never know what to say to these people.

For the longest time I used to tell them the exact same thing:

So for now, I've just got to pretend I'm interested, tell them I'll give them a call, and then put their leaflet into the pile.

My grandma though... she... err... would treat these door-to-door salesman VERY differently.

You see my grandma is known as the nicest person on the planet.

So she would invite these salesman inside, offer them a glass of water, and then show them pictures of her grandkids.

One time I was just at my Gram-Gram's house just playing some video games.

And this person, an adult person I'd never seen before, just starts watching me play!

"Are you one of my cousins?" {YOU DINGUS!}

And then my grandma gave him a big  cup of water filled with ice and a straw, they'd talk for a bit, he left and I asked:

Old Gram-Grammy Grandma: "Oh... it was just someone trying to sell me a vaccum cleaner..."

But salesmen don't have it the hardest on the doorstep,

they are also Jehovah witnesses and Mormon missionaries who are literally trying to SAVE YOUR SOUL!

I can't even be mad at these people, because if I had the secret to eternal happiness,

wouldn't you be telling everyone in your neighbourhood too?

They're trynna do good and all but whenever they show up

Jeff: "Hello, do you have time for... to be baptized?

Oh, sorry guys, you're wasting your time.

You see, I'm an YouTuber {that's how he said it} so I'm not going to heaven.

Here's a story that's a prime example of me failing to talk to people.

I had just finished shopping at Walmart {ASDA} and this isn't important to the story but Adam from SomeThingElseYT was there.

"Walmart {ASDA} is where I make friends,"

I was walking to my car and I started eating an uncrustables frozen PB&J sandwich that I bought,

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN, you're not even waiting to get in the car, you're just eating that thing up!"
