Ok this evening (7/7.30ish) i was at home- boyfriend was at the cinema/ housemates were out and i had my 6 month old niece with me-I was taking care of her for the evening to give my sister a much deserved meal out with her partner.

Got the baby to sleep and popped into the loo- and someone rang the doorbell. Not being gross but i was on the loo at this stage so i though"they can wait a minute. Bell rang again- then again(each like a second after each other) so headed down the stairs and then the person banged hard on the door then pressed the bell and held on to it.

At this stage the baby was woken up and started SCREAMING so i ran up to calm her down(Loud bell must have frightned her its one of those really loud ones that u can hear through the whole house.) Meanwhile the bell was dinging away- so i went downstairs with a screaming baby in my arms and answered the door. There was a foreign guy outside finger STILL on the bell with a big smirk on his face.

This was the conversation(now remember i was VERY pissed off at this stage)

Him- "Oh hello i am selling these paintings...

Me "WHAT?

Him " i am selling these paintings..."

Me- "ITS GONE 7 O CLOCK IN THE EVENING HOW DARE U CALL AT THIS HOUR"

hIM "Im sorry but i am selling.......

Me- NO IM NOT INTERESTED- DO YOU NOT SEE IVE A SCREAMING BABY IN MY ARMS- AND YOU WOKR HER UP- ARE YOU GOING TO PUT HER BACK TO SLEEP FOR ME?

Him-"Im sorry i didnt know...."

Me" YOU DIDNT KNOW WHAT-THAT AT THIS HOUR NORMAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING THEIR DINNER AND GETTING THEIR KIDS OFF TO SLEEP AND U COME ALONG AND HOLD ON TO BELLS TILL THEY ANSWER THE DOOR AND WAKE UP THEIR KIDS(all in one breath)

Him- "I will go

Me" ya u will and next time u call here ill punch you"

and i slammed the door(I know it was a bit mean but i was furious hed held on to the bell for so long out of pure ignorance.

About a half an hour later i started to feel a bit guilty

About 9 my housemates came back from town- I was upstairs changing the baby as my sister was due to pick her up.All of a sudden i heard yelling and banging. I went downstairs(baby in arms) and there was what looked like a fight outside the garden.

That guy i had ran from the door earlier was in our garden and my housemate had seen him hop over the gate and try to make off with our lawn mower(a lawn mower of all things?)

Called the cops on the cheeky ****er- So much for feeling guilty about yelling at him. Cheeky bastard!

Mine anger cannot be protrayed adequately through mere text, I must have coloured font!!!! (Said in a caps lock voice).

:cool: need the sunglasses for this one...

PCros · 15-05-2007 12:35AM

You should have hit the bloke. Alot of them foreigners dont respect our culture at all by ringing the doorbell 100 times thinking its OK. He was probably scoping out the place to see what he could rob.

If that was me he would've been lying on the ground the time the bell was rung 3 times!

Lorax · 15-05-2007 12:35AM

Hey come on now guys, the red font is gone. And seriously something needs to be done about these romanian paint-selling lawnmower-stealers, taking over the country so they are :eek:

Ah lads come on be nice:( just wanted to make my post less boring(cos it was so long) *sobs*

I remember a time when honest Irish lads were able to make their way in the world selling paintings and stealing lawnmowers. Now the foreigners have it all tied up. It's a fuggin' disgrace is what it is!

ya actually unless your family or friend i think its plain rude to call to someones house after 6 o clock- people are having their dinner and watching their programmes- putting their kids to bed.They just want to relax after working all day. Thats just how i feel about it:o

Judging from the reaction you gave him, you sound like a bit of a cat lady. The poor fella was just trying to sell his paintings.

FX Meister · 15-05-2007 12:45AM

7 O'Clock and someone called at your door, jesus christ. 6.30 is tearing the arse out it for me, if it was 7 I would give them a hammer to the face. You didn't buy his paintings, it's YOUR fault he needed to steal the lawnmower.
Do you have proof that this even happened?

7 o clock in the evening is by no means late.

The poor lad was probably starving, because he can't sell his paintings because people get angry at him for ringing their doorbells past mid day.

if it was meant to be sarcastic, then my apologies. Sometimes it's hard to know on After Hours these days!

When did our culture become punching people who call to your door?
He didn't ring the bell 100 times, or three times. He rand just once, he just didn't stop.

mikemac · 15-05-2007 12:50AM

There's a thread somewhere, possibly consumer issues, which states this "paintings" are prints mass produced in China.
Did this lad realy do the paintings himself? Sounds like a scam.

God help the canvassers who call to your door in the next few days OP

Lorax · 15-05-2007 12:50AM

bolliwoodi are you sure he wasnt just being nice and offering to mow your lawns to make up for waking the niece? Why does everyone think the worst! *Shock*
