What do you think about solicitors?

[nippyjun]

I can't stand when I'm approached by solicitors weather it be those white hatted ladies in the airport, bums on the street, phone solicitors, etc. Just a waste of my time. What do you think?

 

Die!


Thats what I think then they approach me.

It sucks when he/she is obviously a loser or idiot or something. Fortunately, that type usually isn't very persistant and I can tell them to get lost pretty easily. It's very rare, but a good salesperson/solicitor can be entertaining, if I've got the time to waste.

OH, those types of solicitors.. Don't like them either. Aren't lawyers called solicitors in more proper languages (British English)?

What I notice about phone solicitors.... When you pick up the phone there is a second or two of silence... as soon as you say hello it tells the phone solicitor to pick up. Then you hear what sounds like 50 other operators in the background pitching their product to other people.

I like them as much a lawyers

Yes they are. Of course I hate you because my joke would have been a lot more cleaver if you hadn't brought this point up before my post .

I hate it when they knock on my door.

Last week, I was taking a shower and a solicitor started kncoking on my door. The kids went nuts... they know not to open the door, but he kept knocking and ringing the bell.

Finally, I got out of the shower, wrapped myself in a towel, opened the door, and screamed at him. I said "IS THIS AN EMERGENCY?" and he said no and started trying his sales pitch. I said "I just got out of the shower, thank you. Goodbye." and shut the door.

A few years ago it happened while I was sitting on the toilet. Ring, ring, knock, knock, incessantly! Finally, with my dog barking her head off and my kids in a tizzy, I answered the door in a long t-shirt and my panties down to my knees. I can't repeat what I said here, this is a family forum....

Why can't they just GO AWAY when you don't answer the door? Don't they realize that they might be knocking on a crazy woman's door?
