Few years ago had a double glazing saleswoman tap the door ,asked her in ,was just settling down to a bottle of wine ,offered her a glass and one thing led to another .Her boss kept calling asking if she had any sales yet
 she just said she was working on it , give her my details for a follow up lead ,the cant kept knocked on my door every day for a month .Turned out it was a wee family business and the guy was her husband ,big fat fcker .She was trim and fit .Every time the door went a was bricking it .Dont usually open the door through the day to cold callers ,once after a had just lost a few quid and had a bit of the old red mist ,door goes and this power salesman is pretending to be an engineer ,says he has found a problem with the supply and he can fix it ,tries to con me into signing a dodgy deal , knocked seven piles of shoite out of him ,right arrogant annoying bastid pretending to be a spark and did not know how to work his multi meter,he left it behind , a nice one it is . |

aye comes in handy .The cant tried to tell me a fault in the supply was costing me money ,then when i asked him what sort of fault that could be and show me on his meter he said he had already tested the supply in the street ,a kept at him and asked him to test the voltage but he could not do it ,then admitted under pressure he was infact a salesman ,just thought about all the poor pensioners and the like he had conned and the red mist fell .Was years ago but recently heard the company was heavily fined for mis selling .

Indian guy late seventies early eighties, used to come round selling clothes on tic and collecting weekly payments. After a few months he made a great quote "SOME VERY BAD ELECTRICIANS ROUND HERE, EVERY TIME I RING THE FRONT DOOR BELL THE LIVING ROOM LIGHT GOES OFF" Sounds better in an Indian accent.lol!

I never answer mine , but nobody ever knocks only buzz the buzzer (beauty of a flat) only ever answer if i'm waiting for a parcel off the postman , but nowadays i don't even answer to him , just pop & collect it myself when i'm free
Another question is would it be legal to tell someone at your door to f'off? I have done , 2 idiot hospice collectors , heard them on the buzzer laughing & giggling , he banged my door & I shouted sorry mate i'm busy , i was painting , he banged again and shouted HELLOOOOO , so i shouted back *£$%^&*(*&^%%^&*(*&^%$%^&*!!!!! they almost ran back down the stairs |

I am not superstitious at all ,that old Indian must have been 80 odd ,never seen him before or after and never heard anyone else that had him at the door so was just odd . He was not selling ties he was selling "lUCKY ties .
just an unlikely coincidence ,of course |
