It's not so much them calling that annoys me as them not taking no for an answer. I feel ignorant shutting the door on people but if they continue to stand there when I have said "No thank you I do not want one." then that's really their problem. Shooo! Go away! Depart! Be gone!

Willow, with proper warning, after saying no thanks, a dose of pepper spray may encourage them off your property!;) That's after they recover from the temporary burning blindness of said deterrant.:D

That irritates me too, they always seem to call at really inconvenient times, the last one I had was telling me that all phones had to be changed over to his company (cant remember which one) as it was a government led change over, I told him very politely to go away:D

I had a lady call me the other week, she started off asking if I was ok. I replied " well I was until now". She must not have known what to say as she just hung up. :D

Cant remember the last time I got a cold call at home. Maybe I am just lucky or it might be down to the fact I dont answer calls that have numbers I dont know or are with held.

We do the same thing Spuggie J. Figure if they have something important that truly concerns us then they'll leave a message.

Sidenote: We still have a message sent by a British Airways Rep. She had the most delightful English accent. Hmm... I should leave my number so I can get recordings of various Accywebbers. However, please no crank calls you few!):rolleyes: :p

Afraid to say a few years ago I did some door canvasing (my name and address will be witheld for fear of revenge attacks :D )
Funny thing is that after being brainwashed during training you start to belive you are doing the occupant a great favour in telling them about the fantastic offers you have for them... no amount of signs, threats of dogs, or doors slammed in your face will deter you from doing your public duty..you are a disciple placed on this earth to preach the good work of ..Everest,Supreme Glaze, and whoever. :D

Speaking of canvassers, its really getting bad now - anyone else live around the Laneside area that are getting more than normal? TWO today, at least 3 last week... We never used to get any and all of a sudden we're being bombarded. It is getting quite worrying, as if we are being targeted and I'm starting to wonder if they are checking out the property etc
