....than door to door ANYTHING? I have such a hard time with uninvited people knocking on my door for ANY reason. Is it 1950? What the fuck? Can't you come up with a better way to push your shit? To sell your shit? Can't you find a more modern way to annoy me? Because this particular method might get you hit in the face. Don't come to my door unannounced. Ever. It's rude and selfish. Today I had some Jesus freak fuck face come knock on my door. I opened the door. "She" said "I'm not soliciting, I'm just handing this out to all your neighbors." SO FUCKED UP! I don't have a "no soliciting" sign on my door because I pretty much live in the country. If these Jesus fucks are skirting around the "no soliciting" sign by just saying "I'm handing this out to all your neighbors" and just leaving then the "no soliciting" sign is fucking worthless. Grrrr. I'm annoyed by this. Clearly. Just stay away from my house, unless I invite you. Is that so wrong?
I usually don't care though, personally. I live in an apartment, no one really goes door to door there. just thai menus on the door.
I always feel sorry for those people who actually sell door-to-door. I live in an urban neighborhood where we have quite a few. I admire anyone with the gumption to try to earn a living putting themselves in that tough of a spot. I am always polite with them, but I can't recall every buying one of their products.
The solicitors are one thing, and yes - they annoy the shit out of me. But the religion pushers, to me, are so much more offensive and intrusive. And I'm a believer in God. A God. Not a specific God. But I'm a believer. And these people going from door to door are giving the name of "God" or "Jesus" a bad name. Either way though - just don't knock on my door unless you're invited. It's fucking rude. And I have nothing to hide when you knock on my door. I just don't like you. You bother me. I think that's fair.
Yes. That could work. I have an obsessive dog that will bark for-fucking-ever when someone comes to the door. Plus our "main room" is right in front of the door. However, if I was single, I wouldn't think twice about answering the door even with the dog or my proximity to the door. But with the wife, she feels like we (I) have to answer. So maybe it's a wife thing? Damn WIFE! I'm going to redirect my ire. Haha..... No I'm not. I'll continue to answer the door and take my frustration out on the poor mother fuckers that knock on it.
It's totally fair. I'm rarely receptive to them. I was just stating that those door-to-door folks (and it's the policy of the company not the salesperson) have it really tough, especially in this economy, so I try to be polite. As for the proselytizers, they bother me too. Again, I figure they're not worth getting worked up over, so I'm polite but firm. I have too many LDS friends who did missions not to have sympathy for those people.
yeah. i have a couple of roommates, but it's not like we ever have friends just dropping by unannounced. even if i'm downstairs not too far from the door, i'll just walk over and check to see if it's someone i recognize or a package being delivered. if it's not one of those, i just go back to whatever i was doing.
The worst ones for me are the religious folks who try to talk Jesus with you. I don't even bother answering the door when I see them coming up the sidewalk.
Good point. In my 20's I had people coming over at random times, and I didn't care. But at the same time, when I was in my 20's, if someone showed up I was excited, because it was probably something fun. I'm going on 35. I hate it when people come to my door now. Does that mean I hate fun? Fuck no!
i guess i should have added that i live at least 10-15 minutes away from basically all of my friends here. just doesn't make sense for my friends to drive out here without letting me know to see if i'll be around.
