Dread
When I hear the following words from a car saleperson, I have this feeling of dread, a thanatic sense of impending doom:
"Ono, what can I do to put you in a car today?"
While most people may feel at this point that they have sufficiently broken the sales person so that things are now proceeding on their terms, I feel different. I feel like hostage. I feel like someone is not respecting my wishes. I feel that inappropriate advances are being made and I am powerless to stop them. I feel . . . violated.

I have been faced with the similar line from a salesman, I just respond, "give me the car for free and you can put me in it". It usually throws them off for a while, most car salesmen don't know how to respond to anything from a customer, especially something 'out there', they depend on us to go "da, uh, ah" all day.
LOL!
I'll remember to use that one.
I once worked at a brickyard. The sales manager was explainign to a fellow that the more bricks you buy, the cheaper they are.
The fellow told him "Keep loading them onto the truck until they are free then!"
Gee, Ono, you sound like a liberal. "I'm powerless. I'm a victim. Poor me." If it bugs you when this happens, just tell him he can't do anything to put you in a car today. Turn around, and walk away. LOL!

I used to do the following at restaurants until I got married and my wife straightened out my manners.
"How much is your coffee?"
"1.50 per cup"
"And refills?"
"Refills are free."
"Okay then, I'll take a refill and the pancakes."
I know, kind'a corny
