Bloomin 'eck... there's more than one pink hat?!
:shock:
I was door stepped by two rather attractive young Jehovah's Witnesses the other day. I was just out of the shower, in my dressing gown and think I flashed them some boob inadvertantly when I leant over to accept a copy of their magazine...
I'm fairly confident I was probably the only person in my street to engage them in conversation on the basis of "Oooh, Prince is a Jehovah's Witness isn't he? And I do so love him. I find his music rather inspirational in fact... You want me to read this? Okay, no problem."
They haven't been back yet. lol
It's the recorded phone calls I hate. For some reason teh wind me up something wicked. I feel they are far more impolite than a real person calling. I loathe them with a passion. I have no idea what they are selling since I put the phone down as soon as I hear the first syllable.
Sadly, when someone does a reverse charges call, that starts with a recorded message too and I have put the phone down on my desparate-for-a-lift-after-missing-the-last-bus son a number of times.
At Chez Cubes it usually goes something like this:
Person on doorstep: "Hello. Don't worry, I'm not selling anything"
Me: "OK then"
Door: "Slam"
Works for me! :thumbup:
I've never purchased a cold ....................... rolleyes
I keep thinking it would be nice to have a sign on the door that reads:
I will not employ you.
I will not buy what you are selling.
I will not listen to your version of God.
The gas meter is around the back.

But then I wonder if any of them would heed it.
(Also, I never answer my phone.)
I rarely answer my phone but I can hear the answer machine most of the time. Cold callers never leave a message, and it helps with catching the reverse charge calls from kids that miss the bus too. At least you know they're trying to get hold of you for next time the phone rings.
What I hate is the unsolicited phone calls where the person phoning you asks 'How are you today?' like they care rolleyes
At least you can just hang up on automated messages without feeling guilty for being rude to a real person.
i find having a very yappy jack russell dog helps keep peeps away from the door...
i have a great line ready for the next time the jehovas knock...lol
shall say to them ... ohhh are you here for the swinging party... you are just a bit early... :twisted:
