Anyone else get pestered by young men calling to their house selling paintings??

I'm in Kinnegad and at least one a week I get a knock on the door and normally it's the same 20 something year old selling crappy paintings.

Does this crap happen elsewhere??

What put downs do people use to get the message across that you're not interested?

My estate isn't upper class enough for that, I just get handwritten notes offering me cheap drink and smokes.

paintings? Ritzy.

I used to get them when I lived in Dublin.
But I really liked the paintings actually.
Never bought one though.

Generally, I just don't answer my door ever unless I know someone is due to visit.
Can't stand being offered deals by Eircom or Airtricity or whatever every other day.

Put Downs ?

Bit harsh to go injecting artists with lethal injections because they want to see you their piss soaked canvas.

I have thought about answering the door holding a severed pigs head and a cleaver.

and slam the door in their face

My estate is so posh the artists leave their paintings on the side of the house for free.

Oh god, I just remembered!
Last week I was in a b1tch of a mood, and I was trying to make dinner and the kids were driving me mad.
This guy comes to the door to sell me upc - which I already have.
I opened the door and didn't say one word.
I just glared at him until he got the hint and left.
Oh, I kinda feel bad now!

If only you were that witty when you answered the door.

You could ask him to paint them on the dog.

Theres a scam where people call from door to door pretending to be struggling artists but they really buy the paintings from China for 10 euro each off some website and pass it off as their own for much more. They're definitely not artists and not struggling. If I wasnt watching every penny I'd ask them to sketch me for 5 Euro at my door step for a laugh and see if they can even do that while I watch (like genuine artists do on Grafton street).
