Salesmen.

Comment Published at 10:0410:0412 comments12 comments182 Visits182 VisitsReport
Well it is 1.00pm, I am still in my dressing gown, and my hair is hanging out. It is long messy and a little tangled. It is Saturday, a day for relaxation, and door to door salesmen.

So there is a knock at the door, and I answer it looking oh so beautiful in my dressing gown, messed hair and mockies.  They guy starts talking to me while my dog gets out, so I have to open the door all the way and he sees that I am a real mess...

What is this guy selling.. Beauty products... LOL I told him I did not need any thank you. well I don't think he believed me because he actually had the guts to ask me if I was sure...

Door signs
I used to have a very large sign that read no sales or religious people be warned hostile housewife, very successful and was put up when I was abused by an encyclopaedia salesman who yelled I didnt care about my childrens future as he walked to the next house who was followed by a set of JW's who got told to move on sharply. After that the JW's refused to stop coming it must have been their mission to save me and when they got the short end of the stick because a polite no wasnt working they tried sending their grannies and grandchildren I will admit I blew my stack big time and the language coloured the air as I reiterated that they were never going to be welcomed at my door.... shocking to say the least but after the pposter was put up on the meterbox adjacent to my front door no one bothered me anymore, now I'm down to the little rectange card on the doorbell which just says no sales people or religion and it's extremely effective.

Oh and Jess if they bang on your door and you're in relaxed mode good for you, its your house and they're not invited guests so dont stress if you had the number of the company he represented I'd ring and mention it! and just to brighten your day I'll share a secret with you.... I often wear a sarong which on my ample bod isnt all that stylish and I have threatened to remove it to frighten the buggars away  lol.

How rude!
What a thing to say "Are you sure?" I would have slammed the door in his face! We keep getting the Jahovis Witnesses, the ones that just keep banging on the door until you answer!!!! You would think they'd get the hint & give up, after the 99th time of us saying "we are not interested!", or having to listen to hubby swear at them! So now, they have become more cunning, & send us the "little old ladies", during the day when hubby's ute's not there, cause they know "you can't be rude to a little old lady or ladies"! I just hide when i see them coming & let them knock as much as they want, I don't open the door & eventually they give up!!

I give as good as I get.
When anyone visits me or rings me I agree to listen to them if they are prepared to hear about the things I have to offer them first. It has been good business for me and a good laugh for my wife as she watches the face of the poor sales person drop when I begin my speal about my business. (Salesman look)

I hate them!

I hate those people who go door to door!!! I'm pretty much always looking like a mess and hate answering the door for people I'm not expecting.

Thankfully, we don't get very many of those when I live. I get Mormon visitors more often than not..and with them, I just don't answer the door and wait until they leave.

I hate them!
I've had Mormon come to my door more often than not too.. Thankfully this year I haven't had no one come by. They always go door to door. Me I don't answer the door, if I don't know who the person is by looking through the peep hole then I don't bother but if it looks like someone I know then I'll answer but only crack the door open a little bit lol!!

Oh man!
You shoulda told him that actually you were obviously in need and maybe he could give you some for nothing "to trial" and if they worked you could be a living advertisement for him....lol.  Some people huh!  Hope the rest of your day has been good
Peace
