People these days...

So this smartly dressed gadger turns up at my gaff, knocks on the door which is duly answered by my missus. "Do want any double glazing?" He asks, his smart appearance clearly be-lying the state of his brain and powers of observation...
"...er, no thanks" replies my missus ""We've only just had this lot done" and points out the front windows that he is standing next to that are less than a year old.

"Oh" the buffoon says then adds "How about your drive...do you want it tarmac'd?" My wife laughs says "No thanks" and shuts the door.

Idiot bloke then walks back down my already well tarmacced drive to access the next house and ask the same banal questions.

All this time I'm upstairs decorating the front bedroom looking out of the window and thinking to myself "God, wished I'd answered the door - I'd ask him if he was taking the Pi**".

Some sales people really don't do themselves, or their ilk any favours. Sorry if that offends anyone on here but, well, I'll leave you to work out the rest.


Another cream bun anyone?

....and the third question....do ya waann any dahgs?

pikey salesman if you ask me!

The next time my door knocks and the person standing there asks me about swapping my energy suppliers is gonna wish he hadnt.

Im a builder, with a sign writen van on my drive and i have people knock the door touting for work, the cheeky gits, one even said he was doing a roof over the road and could see some tiles needed replacing on my roof, like id let a complete stranger on my roof when i do them myself and know at least 3 really good ones.

Was at Mum and dad's about 10yrs back when I guy came knocking, asking if they wanted a fire escape. Dad p!$$ himself laughing then shouted me to the door...

A fire escape in a bungalow!

Hope you didn't have anything metal anywhere in your garden...

i've had the same power guy round 3 times within the past 2 months. the third time i had a little rant at him much along the lines of.

me - do you fancy me?

him - no answer.

me - look m8 i know your just trying to make a living but harassing people to change fuel company's is not the way to do it. even if i decided to change provider i would not consider Scottish Power now because of your actions not that you would be on the list anyway. this will be the third time i'm going to say that i'm not interested.

him - but we are cheaper than Sottish Hydro and i dont understand why you would pay more! (as he has been here before and knows who my provider is)

me - coz Scottish Power are a bunch of muppets.

him - why

lengthy discussion about how they muck bills up and refuse to give payments out saying that we will carry it over to the next billing etc. etc. then state that Hydro automatically reimburse me straight into my account.

and dont get me started on the feckwit Skytv morons.

One house the kitchen was at thr front of house, I was stood in the kitchen talking to my mates I see this guy walking towards the door...needless to say he heard me swear through the closed windows he look so beat up lol.

It's cos they usually look like the sort of chumps in suits you just wana deck anyway.

Wouldn't be complaining if it was hot girls in hot pants selling you double glazing now would you?

Had a cold caller come to the door a while back asking if we wanted to sign up to TalkTalk. I declined but he decided to go into the discussions of how much I would save blah blah blah. I let him waffle on for an age before telling him it sounded great but still wasn't interested in switching from my current supplier. He then decided to ask who my current supplier was. "TalkTalk" I said and then shut the door on him.

Surely to god these people must be given information as to which households are already on the service he is trying to offer.
