Door to door salesman..

[BUTCH1]

So today it's true-green chem lawn, last week it was ATT with a "courtesy" call knocking on my door trying to sell me service. Am I allowed to shoot these assholes or let my dog loose on 'em?, I bust my ass to pay for what I have so some shithead can trespass on my property to try to hawk something, fuck off assholes!..

jeez

Guess I'm gonna have to, no doorbell at my house so they use the knocker on the door which drives the dog nuts and wakes up my sick wife. I just wish these assholes could find another job...

It must be a difficult life getting so worked up over trivial shit.

 

[TheInternet1980]

I just wouldn't answer. Stranger at the door? Pass. Go away.

 

[BUTCH1]

LOL, perfect, I might print that out and use it!..

 

[joesmoke]

feel sorry for them, theyre the ones actually doing it. Its like tele-marketing without any of the luxuries. consider yourself lucky.

Not really, everyone has their "button", if you cut me off in traffic I don't even give a shit, doesn't bother me, stupid co-workers, they're everywhere but bugging me when I'm trying to relax at home just ticks the shit out of me..

This is why I try to hide from them. If we make eye contact through the window/door/whatever, I'll feel compelled to listen to them because their job is terrible. They don't particularly make me angry...but I'd also prefer not to be guilted into hearing their schpiel. Then you have to small talk, generally it's a terrible product (vacuum/knives), that you don't give a shit about. Where's the door to door beer and smokes salesman? At least sell something useful door to door, that lazy people would want you to bring them.

I hate salesmen with a passion...but that's because I am one. Do yourself and them a favor. As soon as you open the door and they start their speil, interrupt them and say no thanks and close the door.

Remember that they are just trying to make a (semi) honest living. No need to be a dick but no need to give them any more of your time than necessary.

I don't understand why people are jumping on the OP. Door to door salesmen are in fact worse than Hitler. I hate those cunts, whether they're selling cookies, vacuum cleaners or religion. Fuck them, leave me alone.

Dude. This idea is awesome. Seriously, I bet there are many times you don't even realize you want a beer until someone knocks on your door with one.

 

[slayer202]

then go live in the woods so we don't have to deal with you either

That's right.. teach those girl scouts where they belong.

It's almost like the ice cream truck, but for adults. No liquor obviously, but you could stock good microbrews along with the usual swill, and sweet, sweet, cigarettes. Instead of that faggoty ice cream truck jingle, we make the trucks blast ZZ TOP or some shit.

I didn't even open the door, just hollered "leave now!", I have no problem with salesmen except when they come to my door and set the dog off and wake up a sick wife..

Dick move. Why even answer the door? Yell STFU to the dog...give the wife a look, and he'll walk away in 20 seconds.

I almost never see door to door salesmen, they really don't bother me anyways. The minute out of my day doesn't matter.

I've always wanted to encounter a Jehovah's Witness though. That could provide a lot of amusement.

I understand man...I really do. Just don't let them get to you that much.

I wonder if spraying them with the hose would be considered assault....????

 

[Jeff7]

Sounds like a job for a shotgun slug salesman!

Simply call in to the police with a anonymous tip of what the person looks like and say the person was seen breaking in someones house and took the product of whatever they are trying to sell.

I encountered one of those last summer and I live in the middle of nowhere so when I opened the door I was like "ZOMGWTFBBQ?!?" so I talked to them for a couple of minutes, took a couple of pamphlets and sent them on their way. In hindsight, I should have come at them with the Wingmaster and driven them off of my porch! xD

They're just doing their job. They're not hurting anyone. Just tell them no thank you and close the door or just don't answer the door. It's not that hard. Setting the dog off is your problem. Train your dog properly and you won't have that problem any more.
