A guy came to my door a few years ago and asked me to buy some of his paintings. I said no thanks, and he proceeded to tell me how I obviously had no appreciation of art and that he'd prefer not to sell it to me anyway. How do you respond to that? |

I never answer the door to sales people however a few years back while getting ready for a fancy dress hen night (I was going as morticia adams) 2 jehovas witnesses turned up at my door just as I was leaving to go out I politely told them "thank u for calling but I'm afraid my household are into satanic worship" needless to say they made a fast run for it lol |

Do you use telepathic communication to find out if it's a salesperson before you open the door?  |

I'm also a country girl, so rarely have cold callers. My one experience wasn't great to be honest.
Picture the scene... I'm heavily pregnant and in the bath. Door knocks. I yell at the kids that unless it's nanny, ignore it. True to form, they ignore me instead. Didn't catch the gentleman's name so we'll call him Fucking Wanker for short
FW: is your mummy here?
Son: she's in the bath
FW: can you get her?
(Mummy thinks at this point, holy shit. Someone must be dead! It's the cops. Out and wrapped in towel before he made it up the stairs)
Me: (dripping all over the mat) can I help you?
FW: have you thought of changing to [insert generic electric company]?
Me: no thank-you
FW: why not?
Me: excuse me?
FW: why not?
Me: I don't want to
FW: it's cheaper
Me: I don't care. I find the staff (who constantly approach me) to be a bit crap tbh
FW: but it's cheaper, it's a bit of a no brainer
Me: I'm happy to pay an extra tenner over the course of a year for the customer service
FW: eh?
Me: I've contacted some dude 3 times to switch and every time he's already met his weekly quota of keypad customers and will phone me next week. He doesn't phone.
FW: you've got a key pad??? (Said with the level of disgust you would expect if someone asked "you poison kittens and murder orphans in your basement!?"
Me: yes
FW: oh. You can't have [crap-tricity] at the minute, I've reached my quota
Aggggghhhhhhh.
Saw him the following day in the village and was all I could do not to park my car on him. (Hormones!) it was the "no brainer" comment that did it.
I'm sure you're a lovely salesman tho OP  |

I imagine "ladies" generally shy away from such behaviour. In my defence I did think there was an actual emergency. |
