Do I like spicy foods?

Pretty much same answer as Dragalthor. I love spicy foods as long as I am able to taste them. I do not see the point in eating something that will only give me the sensation of a fire burning in my throat.

What would I say if someone etc. ?

Here in Slovakia, we do not get any offers like that, and we do not even have Jehovah's witnesses. But if such a thing would happen to me in some alternate universe or after I move to a different country, I would most probably say that I do not keep any cash on me, but would not mind to taste a sample of what they are selling. :B

Question #24: Do you like spicy foods?

Yup. I spice up pretty much anything. Not too spicy though.

Question #25: What do you say or would you say when someone comes to door and asks if you'd like to buy <cookies, chocolate, etc.>?

This is pretty bad in the Netherlands, depending on where you live. At my parent's place it was only once in a while. At my appartment, every few days someone comes by to sell (or collect). They sneak into the complex, or someone ignorant lets them in. And ofc appartments are an easy "target". Especially since callcenters can be blocked now.

It's primarily people that sell energy or gas nowadays. I usually just tell them that i'm not interested. Or if it's collectors, that i don't have any cash at home (depending on what they're collecting for, sometimes i donate). This is usually enough to send them on their merry way. And if they're being annoying i just close the door.

24- I do like spicy foods, although my tolerance isn't what it used to be. In college, most of the girls who I spent the most time with in my dorm were from India/Nepal/Bangladesh, and they were always cooking. I got to develop a taste for really spicy food- not watered down spicy in Americanized restaurants, but real spicy- like mango pickle with rice and the like. Also, I love buffalo sauce and will eat it on a lot more things than chicken.

25- For non US-people to have some context, usually when someone is coming to your door selling cookies or chocolate here, it's a child who is doing a fundraiser for their school, or sports team, or the girls scouts. It's not actually a salesperson or someone who's just selling chocolate to make money for a company. It's something schools do to fund specific field trips, or sporting equipment or musical programs that didn't make it into the budget that the town voted on, or something that kids do to raise money for a charity or a kids organization.

And because of that, I always buy something. Sometimes I'll eat it, sometimes I just give the kids the money and tell them they can eat it, or I'll take something gifty and bring it to my mom. But I am a sucker for kids fundraising.

Question #24: Do you like spicy foods?

Yes yes yes!

Question #25: What do you say or would you say when someone comes to door and asks if you'd like to buy <cookies, chocolate, etc.>?

I used to do door-to-door sales, so I have some sympathy for them, but I am also well aware of their tactics, so I always shepherd them off quickly, but politely.

#24: Some. I love it in the heat of the moment, but start cursing in the bathroom.

#25: I guess It'd depend on what they were selling.

24: I loooove spicy foods. Everything must be spicy. I have two giant bottles of Franks in my fridge at the moment too.

25: No one really goes door to door on college campuses...or in the city of Detroit. Haha. But when I lived in the suburbs, my mom almost always bought candy/food/etc from the people selling it. I was too young/poor before college to actually purchase these things myself, though.

(edit: on 25 I'm referring to fundraisers/girl scouts almost exclusively. We don't get any door to door salespeople outside of Jehovah's Witnesses.)

Question #24: Do you like spicy foods?

Not really.

Question #25: What do you say or would you say when someone comes to door and asks if you'd like to buy <cookies, chocolate, etc.>?

I usually politely turn them away. If they insist, I get annoyed and tell them to GTFO.

Question #26: If you found out you'd be famous in about a years worth of time from now, why do you see yourself being famous?

Probably playing guitar or something for me ;)

Because of fabulosity or amazing acting. Yeah, that's going to happen when I've not even studied drama for 3 years. >.> Oh well.

I think I am probably more likely to be infamous rather than famous.

Maybe I will hit a sweet spot with some of the short stories I wrote/will write this year and people will start to read my stuff more.

I'd probably be famous for causing some huge accident cause i couldn't resist pushing the button that said "don't push".

If I found out my what was famous? JK

Writing, I guess. Can't think of anything else I do with any level of proficiency that people typically get famous for.

Giving all the money I would win in a lottery to charity.
No, seriously. I'm gonna do that if I win. It's a "dream" of mine.

24. Nooo. I grew up in a predominantly Indian area but I just never got used to spicy food. I'm embarrassed when I eat spicy food at Indian friend's houses because my eyes water, my nose runs and I rush to the toilet. Can't even handle Reggae Reggae sauce. Once I felt a little ill after eating a Sri Lankan takeaway but had made plans to have a big meetup the next day at the cinema... Had to leave 10 minutes into the film, sit on the toilet at the cinema for 10 minutes, then endure an hour long bus journey home which was made all the more annoying by a guy with a bulldog shouting racist abuse at the driver for not being let on, then asking me if I were happy to let him sit next to me with the bulldog (I answered yes since I parsed that as "would you be comfortable sitting next to someone with a dog", rather than "do you feel comfortable in any way at the moment and would your discomfort be lessened by sitting next to a racist guy that will notice an unusual smell in about two minutes"?). Luckily the police came and got him...

25. Only had that once on holiday in America and we purchased. Once a guy pretending to be deaf with cue cards came and sold us his "realistic pencil drawing" that turned out to be printed, but my parents are usually very wary, even of people claiming to be from charities. Very few of the charities are even registered and if they are, it is usually safer to donate elsewhere. So my parents have a little sticker saying "no transactions done at door" and donate elsewhere to charity.

26. Getting murdered in an interesting fashion. I'm not planning on it, but it's the most plausible reason. For the record, I'd like "Tom Finnegan's Wake" and "Confusion Will Be My Epitaph" played at my funeral.

By the way Azazel, if you do that, Boronidze will hunt you down and murder you.
