Or someone in a brand new Transit knocking on your door pretending to ask about tree cutting whilst eyeing up whats in your garage and lounge.
Like I just had this morning.

Be polite and assertive by saying 'piss off' whilst avoiding eye contact with big belly and checked shirt

I had 3 of them down where I work yesterday in a half-painted G reg Cavalier with broken spoiler and mismatched alloys giving my bike a very long look-over..... Went straight out there while they were still looking and moved it into the warehouse and locked it in the lead shed. I have to admit my stomach was in knots cos they were all bigger than me.






Who on earth made me get a ZX9R???? I'll get 'em....

i get at least three a week at work, if i leave the workshop doors open they just wander in and it's a nightmare to get rid of them, eyes everywhere, they don't miss a thing.

it's mostly the same few on a rotation basis and it's got to the point where i tell them, i had nothing for you last week, or the week before that or the week before that so what makes you think i will have anything for you today. rolleyes.gif

they'll still be back next week.

They climb into our scrap metal skip at work and help themselves. I just wish they would hurt themselves - thieving scum.
Red and black '96. Blue spot Thunderace calipers with braided two-line front hoses - 'kin brill. 17 incher out front. Renthal street/trail bars - vibe free. 1150GS brush guards. HIDs - niiiiice. Stebel Magnum - crikey. Nonfango hard luggage. Nexxus. SW-Motech center stand. Had a Powerbronze tall screen - too noisy - went back to standard.

Stealth Diamond Black 900 with lurvely black frame. GS brush guards. HotGrips on a relay - cos I keep forgetting. SW-Motech center stand and engine bars. LED rear light. Vario set to min. 17 incher. PR2s.

As a group they probably up the averages but please lets look at ourselves whilst sayin they they they.

People are people.

Maybe the ones that want to rob you knock on your doors but then so do Jehovahs witnesses and insurance salesmen....

Europe is good at pulling itself apart and blaming the gypsies.

Sorry to post this in comedy Central and sorry to do it as a new boy but if you going to think it, you should say it.

Loved the liner tho'!!!

All the best, Epirb.
It went E,S,E,S,A

Yeah, and I tell them to piss off too. I think I'm going to have to start putting landmines in my gravel to keep out the the bloody NPower people who keep comming round and trying to tell me that they're cheaper for Gas and Electric! In some respects it's a pain having a front porch, it means I can't pour boiling oil out of the upstairs window. And don't me started on all the frigging telesales people ranting.gif



Oh hang on, is this comedy central? I thought it was rant central laugh.gif

Don't talk about bloody Jehovahs why do they always call when you are trying to get 100 things done at one...

EG last sat I was trying to clean out the cat litter get my 7yr old son to put his shoes on ready to go swimming and shouting to get my pre teen hormoanal daughter to put hers on to, But she didnt want to come and watch her "Stoopid idiot of a Brother swim cos it's so un cool" and the door bell go's. I open it with a bag of cat sh1t in one hand whilst screaming at the kids (as you do) too see 2 women standing there all in black with the Jehovah news in there hand sayin "Good Morning".......

They just looked at each other as I said nicely "Please go away and give some blood??"
Why can't they get into their heads that if I wanted to give half my wages away I get a divorce!!!! and if I wanted to join their church I go there....... ranting.gif ranting.gif ranting.gif ranting.gif ranting.gif ranting.gif ranting.gif ranting.gif

Ooh that feels better thanks for listening....right where the pooper scooper good.gif

We get a lot of door selling. Have a little sign saying 'we do not buy from this door'

They still knock and as Jolly points out, always the worst time.

I use 2 routes:

1) House is rented.
That does the trick (even for JH's) 99% of the time

If I want to play with them it goes like this

2) Play the game

Me: See the sign?

Them: Yes Sir

Me: off you go then, bi.

Them: Oh, but I'm not selling, just a few questions for my questionarre

Me: Ok then, but at any time in the next 10 mins you mention me giving you money then were gonna fall out. GOT ME?

Him: (he's worried as Im raising my voice) OK Sir

Off we go, same shit each time. he goes on about global warming think of the children etc etc

then..... it arrives. "So you could save £180 per annum by using us.

Me: ARE YOU SAYING RIGHT NOW IM GIVING YOU MONEY??

Door slams and he is gone

My little way of getting through the day.
