Cold Callers With Jesus Christ Badges?

[forest of dean redneck 11,538]

Doorbell just went at half past 8,the bulldog started kicking off, swung it open ,and it was 2 fellas in their twentys dressed in black office trousers and black coats. My mouth dropped as they looked like fecking CID/RSPCA

Then I noticed they had badges on and it said Jesus Christ,

Now I was fuming as had just got my daughter out the bath,and had been trying to get her some pj,s out.

So I said not today thank you,and started to close the door,

So the leader sort of sarcastically repeated what I Had said,

So I flung the door back open and said yeah can't you f***ing read,and started to jab my finger at the letterbox where in red is a no cold caller and junk mail sign,

So when their eyes dropped down to read it ,I slammed the Door shut on them,

 

I'm wondering if there's a new christian cult out there or it's johos changing tactics as they used to be old dears with watchtower leaflets.

Oh and the sign don't work we still get shit posted through the door.

[Outlaw Pete 2,224]

Those signs, as you've found out, don't stop a scrap of paper. I too had one. Just reverted to full on, in the face, screaming furious madman mode.

 

Smartly dressed pair of men? Ready to give a bit of shit? Sounds like Mormons.

 

Buzz cuts and septic accents? Definitely them.

They knocked my door yesterday i like talking to these people.

But They never stay long enough lol

I had one knock on tonight (don't they piss you off)

opens the door and there's a black chap stood there

"don't worry i'm not selling anything" says he

I replied "no but I bet you still want some money"

to which he says "i'm collecting for the deaf"

I just kept saying "what mate" like I couldn't hear him

he soon pissed off

[forest of dean redneck 11,538]

Never thought of Mormons,

What pisses me off is the signs there as every time we get these callers and the severely autistic lads up,he throws a tantrum.

I'm wondering could I get done ,if I grabbed one of her cats shook it then threw it in their face,lol

I mean it's not a dangerous dog is it?

Only down the road in Monmouth ,the main fella was bit taller than me so around 5ft 9,and dark slicked hair.

Glad it wasn't school night as would been in middle of getting them all in their beds,which normally makes v me bad tempered ,when they refuse,lol

We are having a fence and gate done soon,as the front is open plan,so that will be chained and padlocked when everyone's in at night.

you have to admire them really we love f***ing with them we had a pair a few month back we invited them in to do the talk but they had f**k all to say and just left dnt think they get past the door to often

I have one of the "polite notices" that reads no cold callers ,canvasers or salespeople.....and it seems to work..the wife bought it off ebay after I told the guy from british gas that he had until I put my shoes on to get the fu#k away fae my door after he said to her that I must be an idiot for not changing supplier.....I dont think he realised that I was in.

Had a couple of knocks over the last couple of weeks from knobbers trying it on, first one was a guy in tracksuit bottoms the lot with a rucksack asking to speak to the home owner...i said "aye but what do you want?" "oh i'm just looking to see if the home owner wants to buy some stuff" at that point next doors dog started to bark and he went "oh is that a dog? I've got dog toys, chews, bowls, all sorts..." "nah you're alright mate!!" made me proper paranoid though because there was a spate of burglaries round here and i didn't want the dogs getting nicked but touch wood nothing YET...security was vamped up let's put it that way!!!

 

Another one was a guy in a blue waterproof jacket, smart trousers and shoes, looked the business looking to see if we wanted the drive doing, the drive that's already been done not long ago what gave him away was his horrible greasy hair, lack of teeth and an 'ID badge' that had been printed and laminated in his back bedroom "nah you're alright!!"

 

You've gotta be careful though, well the elderly do. Luckily my grandparents are pretty feisty and tell them to do one, they're also on that telephone preference service which is supposed to stop cold calling phone calls but they're constantly hammered with fecking companies selling stuff really do target the elderly the cheeky twats.

If someone asks if you are the home owner you should just reply its rented. Nothing you do will keep them on your doorstep

I don't even bother answering the door here, family have keys and welcome visitors usually ring first because they know I don't snswer the door.......... lol
