Page 1 of Door 2 Door salesmen.. ESPECIALLY ELECTRICITY / GAS companies

As someone who works nightshift.. these bastards have become my arch nemesis.. i hate the f***ers... every day someone calls to try and sell me something i already have... they stand at the door and blatently lie using patter like - " i see from our records that you are elidgible for a reduction.." really?.. thats weird seeing i`m not even with their bloody company... so how could they have records?.. i don`t fall for it.. but some poor bugger will...

They have even sent someone round to check that someone else had called the previous day to check that i was still with their company.. i mean for f***s sake.. it`s taking the p***.. i tell them not to call.. and they send some suited f***er round to check that someone had called...

i have now taken to just leaning out of the window and uttering the words F*** OFF.. of course this has drawbacks.. like the time it was my own employers (local newspaper) doing a survey... still at least i`m honest to myself and give them all the same treatment

Well played mate - `tis what they deserve...tenacious bastards. Had any witnesses of good ol` Jehovah yet?

I sometimes just start barking and pretending to scratch the door, and bash it really loud to scare the s*** out of them. It usually works ;-)

I have a sign by the front door that says:

"We are a council flat, we already have double glazing, we do not want to change our Gas/electricity/phone suppliers, and we haven`t had an accident, either our fault or anyone elses. If none of these apply to you, feel free to knock.

Thank you for your time"

I`m contemplating changing the answer machine message to something similar.

That`s a great idea Stantz. I might do something similar, but say that if they disturb me I`ll throw my man-muck over them.

Just say -

Sorry, now`s not a very good time for me, could you give me your home address and I`ll pop round to your place for a chat when it suits me.

what do you mean by man-muck?.. coz i used to "know" this girl who said that my man-muck tasted lovely

Best way to deal with sphincters at the door was the way one of my mates in the Army dealt with them.
In Bünde a few years back almost every squaddie in married quarters was being pestered with sphincters selling paintings or even worse the dreaded "Jehovah`s Witnesses"
Mac`s good lady would always answer the door and then give Mac a shout. He waltzed to the door with a fag hanging out of his gub, a white simit` and a bottle of beer in his hand. He then proceeded to belch as often and as loud and as close to the prats face as he could. End result , they soon stopped pestering him and us after the rest of us did the same thing.

BTW, What did Jehovah witness?

Choagy :-)

Good Auld Mac.

On christmas day we was all getting dinner ready, and there was a knock on the door, and it was Jehovah`s Witnesses`!!! I couldn`t believe it! I wonder how many times they were told to f*** off that day.

In my street we have something far worse than any jehovas witness.. a yank preacher who moved here a year ago with his wife and their hideously annoying nasel little child...

I wondered how long it would take before he started to invade my privacy with his religious antics.. and on friday i had to wait no longer.. there was a knock on the door.. i opened it and approximately 20 people stood on my step... my expression changed from WTF to distaste within seconds.. "Hi.. we`re from the ***** reformation church.. do you believe that your life is pre-destined?" he whined..

i shut the door and walked back to the TV.. so much for destiny? he didn`t see that coming did he
