Only once.
I went to buy a used washing machine from a guy and he turned out to be a nut case. He ran a side business out of his garage where he rebuilt washing machines and then sold them. He was giving me a great deal and even offered a free 1 year warranty on it. I get to this shop and he has a bumper sticker on his truck that says: Marriage = 1 man + 1 woman. This was close to an election where a gay marriage ballot was up for vote so I ignored it. When I get inside we are making small talk and he asks me if I will take one of those bumper stickers for my car. I just say no thanks. He asks why and I tell him that I will be voting in favor of legalizing gay marriage. He starts to preach to me about it an finally I just say, "Are you going to sell me the washer and if so can I just pay for it and go?" He tells me he really felt I could benefit from hearing what he had to say. I just decided to leave.
As I got to my car he came out and apologized and told me he would deliver it for free if I lived near by and I decided to pass on the whole thing. The last thing I needed was this crazy guy knowing where I live.
