Door to Door

[Kantarii]

I can’t think of anything as annoying as a door to door salesman. Their fucking pushy trying to get their foot in the door to make a sale, ranking right up there with telemarkers. I get the fact their doing a job, but damn.

So what would you say (polite or sarcastic) to a door to door salesman that showed up at your front door at an inconvenient time?

 

[CandiCame]

Is this a real thing?

I've never encountered salespeople, even when I lived in the city. Jesus people, yeah, but not folks selling shit.

This cannot possibly still be a thing.

I thought the door to door marketing thing went out years ago until someone showed up at my door the other day selling life insurance. I wish the tele marketing thing would just go away. Thankfully, I have a block feature on my iPhone that comes in handy.

Back in the day

Back in the day while in my 20 s. I had to canvas for life insurance sales. I never
pushed. If there was any interest then I loved it. Otherwise I hated knocking on
doors of folks I didn't know.
To this day, I am courteous to telemarketers and door to door sales people. A quick thanks but no thanks and have a good day will work. ( with a smile )

My method is this:

1) Doorbell rings. I see: Strange person standing there holding clipboard.

2) I open the door. "Hmmm...Strange person standing at my door with a clipboard." I say. "Okay, stranger. I'll give you exactly TEN SECONDS to offer your pitch. If you haven't convinced me to keep listening to you after your ten seconds is up, I'm closing the door on you."

3) (After ten seconds of salesperson spouting boring sales pitch) "Ten seconds is up. Your story grows tiresome. Good bye."

4) Immediately shut the door.

I’m sorry, it took me nine seconds to tell you that you have ten seconds to give me your sales pitch.

I hate door to door solar salesmen. I get tired of telling them to fuck off.

At one time, I considered buying a “no soliciting” sign.

 

[CandiCame]

Honestly, if they're willing to hike their asses up here I'd probably listen to them, but I just... don't ever see that happening.

We get politicians sometimes, like local politicians. They still go out and canvas door to door.

One time I bought citrus fruit.

It wasn't a bad deal.

Another I got concentrated window cleaner.

People who want to climb on my roof to look for "hail damage" I tell to fuck off.

 

[Kantarii]

Even worse are the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

 

[CandiCame]

Even worse are the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

That's how I met one of my exes.

Be nice to them. They're in a cult that has indoctrinated them. It's actually really fucked up. There are a lot of exJWs who tell what it's like, and it's awful.

I'm still considering it.

If that doesn't work I'm going to see about a restraining order.

I heard a “never mind the dog - beware of owner” sign is pretty effective

The last Jehovah’s Witness that knocked on my door wouldn’t even come in the house. The poor guy must have never seen someone like me before in his life I get it, though, it’s hard to take someone in a skirt and makeup serious when they say would you like a glass of iced tea and the voice doesn’t match what the eyes see.

It worked for me.

 

[Kantarii]

It worked for you. That’s great.

I just have a snarky sign posted by my door, telling them to go away. Haven't had much trouble yet. Did open the door one day to get some air. Woman was out there looking perplexed and she told me that she couldn't figure out if she should leave her brochure or not. I told her she shouldn't.

I never buy from people at the door or on the phone.

If I can’t get it off amazon, I’m not about to buy it over the phone. I don’t care what they’re selling.

 

[CandiCame]

Nobody's ever tried to sell me something over the phone either, but I also don't answer the phone for unknown numbers.

Y'all really are just out here talking to strangers?

Even worse are the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

A few years ago I had 2 female Jehovah Witnesses' knock on my door and asked to discuss God with me.
I told them the only way they were coming into my house is if they were willing to give up some pussy.
They left...……………………………………..

 

[Liar]

Door to door I can deal with. I choose not to open, chase them off with kitchen utensils, or sometomes amuse myself by wasting their time on a no-sell if I'm bored.

It's the over-eager 20-somethings chasing me with clipboards out on the streets, who try to make me sign up to things, who really annoy me.

I just want to get my triple shot latte and get back to the office. Yes I know it's for charity, but so were the other 14 fellas just like you that were up in my grill the last three blocks. So would you kindly fuck off.

 

[Filipina_sub54]

FYI i am a Jehovahs Witness and i have accepted that invite before and give the pussy 9 (DOGGY STYLE) as i read them my presentation.

Genius idea!

Go door to door selling "No solicitors" signs including install. You can tell who needs one, and you will either get a sale, or a nice conversation with someone that does not mind solicitation!

Even worse are the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

I invited the Jehovah's Witnesses in one time. I told them that I was God and they were God.

They left.
