    Default These frustrating door knockers.

    Geez!!! These people who come to your front door trying to sell you something or get you to change to another service from what you've got, & don't want to leave.

    Just had another bloke at the door trying to get me to change my electicity supplier. I told him 3 times I wasn't interested, but he just kept on trying to convince me the company he represented was better.

    In the end I shut the door. I know he's only doing a thankless job, but what part of "I'm not interested" do these people not understand.

    The Father of a guy I used to know said he would start undressing if they would not leave and had ended up in his jocks a few times. Nobody ever saw it happen but this guy was nuts.

    you should of got his name and reported him to the company. He should've been wearing an ID tag with employee number on it - you are well within your rights to complain if you feel he was being too pushy.. I always ask their name and number and tell them I'm going to report them ....they leave smoke they run away that fast

    We had a bunch of Christian women come to our door. I dont really believe in religion, but my brother hopes there is a god out there...

    Anyway he stood outside for 3 hours talking to them, to which they gave him a bible. They said they would come back the next day and I just rolled my eyes.

    So the next day they came back and he went out side to talk. They asked him if he had read the bible, to which he said no. They asked why, and I quote "Oh, my mum says that religion is full of shit and is the cause of all pain and suffering in the world... As for your bible, its rotting in the bin right now"

    They went as quick as they could.



    This other time we had Jehovas Witnesses come to our home. My brother opened the door and he asked who they were. He then proceeded to come get me and tell me they were at the door.

    So I smeared Tomato Sauce all over my shirt and pants, answered the door and said "Ah, Jehova's witnesses I see, your just in time... We're about to sacrifice a goat."

    I've got an angry looking dog ! Big,white & growling! I haven't had to worry about "uninvited" guests in years! LOL!
    But 2 well dressed 'messiars' from a plane i dont visit, waited for me to get out of the car one day.
    Caught me at the gate. I said to them, "Talk to the dog!"
    They mistook that to mean, "please come in"
    LOL , should have seen them back pedal when the dog said NO! The dude got 1 foot in the gate, & the dog/alarm went all teeth,heckles & growls! LOL. Scared me too!! LOL

    I'm always polite and tell them I'm happy with the setup I have.

    Then my 40kg Staffy/Pittbull get woken up and they leave.

    Couple of years back I had some weiner with a clipboard approach me as I was adjusting the chain on my old 750, sitting in the front yard on the driveway. He started his spiel about saving money with some phone company, and he went on and on as I stood there trying to get rid of him (this is before we owned our lovely large Boxer dog... ).

    I was standing there, greasy mitts, 12-inch shifter in my hand which was used to undo the rear axle nut, and finally I convinced him I didn't want what he was selling. He then said in a condescending tone with his pen poised above his note pad "Perhaps you could explain to me why you wouldn't be interested in saving money then?" ,as if I was some sort of idiot.

    I had to turn around and go into the shed and let him walk away...that huge shifter in my hand was just too tempting...

    we dont get many because were behind another house, but we have a 'through' driveway, clearly labelled PRIVATE NO PUBLIC ACCESS because people assumed it was a road and used to fly thru at all hours.
    It seems bible bashers still do not care about private signs and use our yard to get to the next property. When we see them go through we close the gate, they try to get back through and cant, its a long walk back around the block the way they SHOULD have gone in the first place.
    Failing that we waterbomb them. is that allowed? they are on our property afterall!!!
