Weird week so far

[albaqwerty]

Monday night, 8.30 Knock on the door, then it got thumped, then the letter box was rattled severely.
It takes me more than 2 seconds to answer the front door. Jeez.
Charity guy was met with, 'can't you give folk a chance to answer their door without trying to bash it in?' 'We're in a no cold-calling area anyway so go away'
He legged it up the street.

I find producing a bible and asking if they have found Jesus can work quite well ...

[ummmm]

I wouldn't have answered it.

[albaqwerty]

There's some who refuse a cuppa tea for some reason :-)

[albaqwerty]

Honestly, ummm, the racket he was making would have woken my neighbours in the cemmy at the back of our house. Rude git.

[sunny-dave]

Mine's not locked at that time - they'd have been in the hall with a dog sh*gging there leg if they'd rattled very hard ...

[sunny-dave]

'their leg'

I once had a pair of jehovas witnesses stand knocking at my door for 10 minutes! Luckily for them I didn't open it.

Like to join the man maiming club Alba?

[albaqwerty]

I think he had a pink thing round his neck 'Gift for Life' or some such thing.

Received a letter from the Post Office, life insurance for over 50's yesterday. Very good, I'm not yet over 50. The pre-printed DOB was wrong on so many levels and it was addressed to Miss My-middle name and Maiden Name.
It's early yet to find out what Wednesday will hold.

[albaqwerty]

Yes please gness xxxx

Wot's the subscription fees? I'm out of practice but can embarrass my teen sons quite well.

Alba, mrs o will give you some tuition ( ie man maiming ) she maims me on a twice weekly basis :-(

[albaqwerty]

and I keep offering to rub you better. :-D

[tonyav]

Yes, with sand paper probably.

Those doorstep folk are the pits. The latest is they knock on the door, stand back and when I open it they "It's ok, don't be worried". Worried, I'll chew their goddamm ears off. Which part of "no thankyou" do they not understand.
Rant over..... and breath ..... and relax.

Alba many years ago on holiday in Welsh Wales at the bottom of Snowdonia Railway in the souvenir shop was a placard for sale that said :-
We dont want double gazing,home extensions,life insurance,home security,cavity wall insulation,religious groups, new kitchen,central heating, financial advice, or market research.
DONT KNOCK.DONT RING.DONT CALL
look at that I said to Chief Stout and he said if its still for sale when we get back from the train trip up the mountain I will get it for you and he did and we fixed it in our porch along with "beware of the dog" in english, beware of the cat in portuguese, and our house sign "The Hovel".
We still get the odd cold caller but I just point to the notice and say "cant you read pal" and shut the door.
smug buggers us !

Lovely Dee.

[albaqwerty]

oooh 10, ain't they just so blooming annoying. I wasn't worried before you came to my door you twit, now I've answered it, why should I be worried? Unless you're going to give me a cheque for a million squidge, I've no reason whatsoever,.........ooooh

Aww, Tony, no. Only for holidays to get the rust off.

[chaptazbru]

Unless I'm expecting someone I NEVER answer the door. If it's someone I know they'll shout through the letterbox or knock on the window, but cold callers just get ignored. I don't ask them to knock on my door and I'm certainly not interested in what they have to say ....
