Door to door sellers - why do they think its funny

whisky_galore

Nothing good is ever sold door to door, like what is this, the 1950s, that this door to door thing still goes on?

Just ignore them and they'll move on. I never answer the door unless I'm expecting someone.

I get the door to door sellers and know they get commision. I had one tell me rubbish about their product and when I told them that was wrong, they said they didn't know anything about that

Now I just say I am in contract and cannot move, but they are a pain in the rear.

Worst types are some of the people selling Phonewatch. They kick off by claiming to be doing a 'survey' about crime in the area and straight away they're into a scare story about all my neighbours who have been broken into.

Goodbye.

It's a pain in the arse, but if you have a video doorbell you can see who's at the door. D2D salespeople are easily identifiable with their bright branded jackets, ID badges and folders/clipboards.

Just don't answer the door, they won't wait long.

They're poorly paid people doing a job where they have to act like they're in great form all day even though they're often cold, wet and tired. A bit of empathy wouldn't be any harm either.

Reporting them would be a **** thing to do.

It is equally good manners to not knock on doors when asked not to.

And walking a mere 10 feet to the door must be exhausting for u so

When the doorbell goes people don’t know who it is, it could be a visitor, the guards with bad news, postman anyone. Pests coming round trying to sell stuff is always a disappointment. It’s just a nuisance. That’s why people would like their signs asking not to call to be respected.

Get a ring door bell. If you get a persistent caller, tell them you have Covid and can’t come to the door. End if.
