    Default Door to door sales/services

    I hate them.

    I usually don't get the door, but made the mistake today as I was waiting for someone else. Then had to explain myself to a very friendly dude about why I don't want to change energy providers....and now I feel like an asshole.

    At least with the street clipboard people you can cross the street - you're a bit knackered on your own doorstep

    Shooooooo-ryuken!

    If I open by mistake, I just tell them it's a rented house and they can't get away quick enough. The only time they get a slam is if they come while we're having tea or after 6 o'clock. As far as I'm concerned that's my time & out of hours for canvassers.

    When the wife gets caught she always tells them she leaves that sort of stuff to her husband.

    Back in the day when they used to phone you up - I'd say our house didn't have windows and we didn't want any. They'd soon hang up and take you off their list.

    I have a sign on the door stating No Cold Calling but the shi*s still knock on the bloody door.........so I ask can you not read which gives them a good indication of how receptive I am!

    Just tell them No!.
    If they then keep on tell them they are on camera and it is a criminal offence with a maximum of 2 years imprisonment to not leave your premises.

    I often tell them I enjoy wasting money. That pretty much kills most of their lines.
