Those door to door salespeople,what's your experience? I ask because we had one clean our futon recently. We didn't have to buy anything because he got paid for just cleaning something. The job seems nice, you get to travel places, and from what he was saying he makes big bucks. Also, the guy has a high level of trust with his boss, he called him and told him not to come and that he was cleaning a futon. The boss didn't come even though he was supposed to make sure they were actually doing it. The guy was nice, really nice.

We just make excuses for the ones who come to our door. They're usually selling things that we don't need or want, but will stand there for ages trying to convince us that we really must have this set of text books or double glazing before someone shuts the door on them. XD

We haven't had one of those in a long time. Maybe cause I live in the middle of nowhere? Anyway, the last one we had took about twenty minutes to get rid of 'cause he was bein' a prick and trying to sell us some random thing. I don't even remember what it was. D:

I haven't had these in a while, in my new neighborhood if you go around carrying text books you ain't gonna be alive for long. They always try to sell random stuff, do you think a 15 year old boy wants a complete set of encyclopedias. Not to mention they're like $50 a volume, I'd rather spend my money on manga.

We never really get them here, usually people who come knocking at doors are usually born-again-christians or jehovah's witness people, or politicians coming up to an election and maybe the odd avon catalogue person and maybe someone asking to mow your lawn. I wouldn't really answer the door to any of them except the politicians.

To which my parents just look at them, until they shut up.
I never answer the door. Sorrt to dissapoint you stalkers out there :(

Ironically, we had one of those call today, asking us if we'd had any accidents in the past two years and whether we wanted life insurance. I was all: I'm only nineteen. ;-;

It's better to be rude with door to door salesmen.
*opens door*
'Well, hello there miss, what do you think about this here item, right here, would you bu--'
No. *slams door*

It's the best way~
Never do that with those ringing people

" Well hello, is mum or dad home?"
"I'm 19, I can talk, whaddaya want?"
" Uh, okay, can I sell yo-"
" No you [bleeeeeeeeep] can't. "

2AM the next morning:

" Hello there, would you like to bu"
"..."

*Hangs up*

True story, rofl.

No, I dislike them. a lot

Only the occasional Jehovah's Witnesses that happen to stop by whenever the gate is broken and has to be left open.

We basically just tell them to leave, or don't open the door at all. We live about a mile out of town and another mile down a dirt road, and then we have an electric gate that you need to punch in numbers to get in, so... yeah, we don't get many unexpected visitors.

I never seen one come by our house. Maybe one came when I was younger but I must have forgotten. It been a very long time if so. Still I would try to derail them. It sounds like fun.

The funny thing about temporary is that you never know if it is actually temporary or permanent.
