Door to door f&@$#%%#

[Drew]

Just needing to vent about a guy from a leccy company (orange logo starting with L) so I left having lunch to answer the door, open it see that it's gonna be one of those time wasting exercises so rather than wasting our time (yup his too) I said I'm not interested thanks.

He comes back with "it's not a matter of interest". Like WTF!

Here the kn%€ jockey has the hide to tell me I'm interested or not. Off I go telling him I'm not interested in the carbon tax, him selling me anything and don't tell me what I'm interested in doing. He got cocky so I asked him to leave, after some parting comments as he was walking away I asked him to show me his Id and he refused cos I "was angry" lol he had no idea.

So anyhoo sent off a complaint so we'll see

HAHAHAHAhHAHA i got security gates so dont have that issue. Though a parcel delivery guy said i should leave my gates open to make it easier wadda nob. I explained my killer guard dog needs to be kept behind locked gates. Didnt tell him its a soft ol lab hahahahahaha

[macca]

Man they get at you dont they?

They must be trained to sell OR really make the "potential Customer" so angry that they will never buy.

We are taught to be polite when we are growing up, it just doesnt work on these cold callers.

Well done any way,
Cheers Macca

Would hate to do that for a job, get knocked backed enough here. lol
They have a cheek though.

Just make them feel bad when they interrupt tell them your planning a funeral or something. Alternatively you could say the house isnt yours and your dont know anything about the owners supplier. I worked with a bloke who use to get telemarketers calling him all the time. They call one day asked for MR such and such and he told them that he had passed away never got another call lol

[MQ MAD]

I have big gates and 6 foot fully fenced yard to keep stooopid people out
But alas , the other day the johova people thought Hmm, we will open the big gates, then shut them, drive 120 odd metres to the next gate, get out of their car and politely open that then , complain they had 4 mongrel cattle dogs lookin for dinner ......
I dunno why would i feel sorry for these people, but an unopen gate means stay out, the next unopened gate would mean the same and the 4 dogs would mean dont get outta your car
I dont have any issue of door to door sales people, when they wait at the front gate for me , ill send out the dogs, that sends em packin
I had some phone sales fella trying to sell me the latest government scame, the ol solar set up
After 3 days of telling him i wasnt interested, im not sure what part of "Im not interested " means ill think about it
I told him he was a ***** idiot , stop wasting my time and get a real ***** job and stop annoying me
I dont think im on their chriisy card list

My favorite with the phone callers is;

Oh, you want the manager, I'ii go find him for you.

His name is Mr Waite.

Hits my funny bone anyway.

There are heaps of fun ways to get to them. Sometimes it is just by listening to their spiel and keeping them back with questions. And then not buying anything. A three hour kirby demonstration can be a lot to sit through just to have a room cleaned.

"Can you hang out a minute? " (and then place phone down and walk away works well for phone callers.

Tipsy-tap

I put our phone number into some site so that they are not allowed to call haven't had one since.
As for the door knockers i just say not interested and shut the door whilst they babble on with jibberish.

[DX grunt]

For phones...... Try the 'Do Not Call' register.

They still call and the funny thing is when you tell them them they hang up real quick LOL

I love them calling if I have time to play with them.
Had the Microsoft malicious software scam call a couple of times, they tell me my pc is showing a virus.
I act very concerned and ask them to wait while I boot up the pc, tell them it's very slow to start, then I forget my password and locks me out. Have to go through the reboot and ask my wife for the password, I tell them my password and ask them if that sounds right. After about 8 minutes I tell them I'm finally on the pc and what do they want next etc. I do all this without even leaving the recliner and going near the pc hardest part is not bursting out laughing.
I keep having trouble following their instructions and ask them to repeat steps numerous times, they usually hang up on me after 10mins but my record is nearly 20mins. He finally hung up after I told him I couldn't connect to the internet because I only go to the library for that.
My aim is to get on their 'do not call' register.

Cheers

Hahaha,that's exactly what I do and string them along as long as I can till the catch on or we get to the "logmein" site they use to get into your pc...hahaha


..........on the move

[growler2058]

I got the virus call once
Told him "but I don't have a computer you dodgy ?$&" and he hung up hahahahahahaaha
Or I do the hello they say hello I say hello anyone there and so on till they hang up
Bummer we've disconnected the landline now only use it for Internet don't have the phone plugged in at all


Tap, Tap.......Who's there?

[choppie]

I like it Macca HA HA

[choppie]

To the ones that keep ringing back or the curry munchers I just whistle down the phone.
It nearly deafens them so they don't call back

[89gqpatrol4x4]

as for the door to door guys just stare at them. don't say a word. just keep staring at them. They will dribble on for a bit, look confused, maybe ask if your ok and after a while they will just leave. the hard part is try not to laugh. I also had the microsoft ones and when I chipped this indian and told him I knew it was a scam he hung up. Then he rang straight back with others in the background and asked for bast#$d Billington. We had a slight exchange of words and insultes along with me making animal noises at him that went for over 8 mins. He tried telling me he knew where I live and he was going to kill me. It was hillarious and i'm still alive.

My 84 year old mum kept on getting the virus phone calls, doesn`t own a computer. I answered the phone asked him for company details so I could check with federal police. I got called alot of names that I couldn`t understand, they haven`t bothered the old girl again.

[Silver]

I heard a bloke say that he says:

'I am naked. It is a condition of my accepting this call that you are naked. Please tell me when you have removed all your clothes.'

Apparently he has 100% success rate.

I wish I had thought to aspire to 'being on their do not call register' What a cracker!!!! It is on my list now.

It must be interesting taking all those negative vibes home at the end of a shift. I guess they recruit people who aren't bothered by it all, or are desperate

[89gqpatrol4x4]

I was having fun with him. Got quite a few really good bites, kept going till he hung up on me. very funny.

[macca]

The news on the alarm thismorning said something about a Do Not Knock sign, I think as I had been out like a light.
Said something about the elderly being pushed into unwanted products by those scumbags that door knock.
Went on about it being respected and they should move on!!!! Good luck with that.
Mentioned the Do Not Call Register as well.
Funy how we had only been posting our thoughts here this week......

[oncedisturbed]

Used to get those as well, would turn up the angriest music I could find quickly, don the old slayer / metal shirts with cut up bodies, get the missus (ex missus now) into minimal clothing and we'd act like typical trailer trash. Couldn't stop laffing as they fell over themselves trying to get away quickly
