Chavvy Doorstep Seller!

As I pulled into the drive this afternoon, man in shiny suit and clipboard asks me if I'd like a quote for my drive re-laying. I reply no thank you He says that it looks like it needs doing so can he therefore do a quote. I say no thank you. He says can he give me a no-obligation quote. At which point I open the boot to get the girls out who are lying there half asleep after a long run - they jump down and he asks if they're VEGETARIAN!?! I said no not at all and they both go up to say hello to him   and he legs it!!!!! Priceless :-)

  

Ultimate doorstep seller deterant!

I loved it Caryll - he was terrified of 2 sleepy dogs that just pottered up to him. What a plonker!!

Ah, but you can see from your avatar that they're two man-eaters! 

vegetarian?

I hate door step sellers, preachers and the like.

We get at least 3 takeaway menus shoved through our letter box on a daily basis.

Something similar happen to me a year or so back. An elderly neighbour had tinkers knock on his door offering to tarmac his drive & wouldn't take no for an answer. They said they'd be back the following day & the guy's daughter was really worried. Her dad couldn't afford the tarmacing & was too scared to tell them to * off.

I said "Ok, when they come, keep them talking & knock on my door"

They did, and I sauntered up with Dempsey on a tight lead, looking every inch the doggie hooligan.

"What's the problem?" I asked.
"Just about to tarmac the drive, lady"
"I don't think the gentleman wants you to"
"Up to im, innit? Errr....big dog, lady"
"Yes. He doesn't like strangers, but you can try & stroke him if you want"
(Big tough tinker tries to be brave & shoves his hand in front of Dempsey's nose)
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Big tough tinker does a girly scream & runs for his life!
 

I know, scary aren't they?! What a wuss! If only he could hear them now after a little sleep in my bed and a chicken dinner - if I didn't know different I'd run -  

awww good old demps

You'd never be bothered by salesmen ever again!

right thats the plan!

That's one way to get rid of them!  

we used to use our old BC Roy as a deterrent for Jehovas , window salesmen etc , the trick was to hold him by the scruff of the neck as he'd go absolutely mental like some rabid beast , what they didn't realise was he was going mental to be free and lick them to death , as soon as you accidentally slipped your hold acouple of times they would soon start taking no for an answer  

Vegetarian

LOL. This is a great story. He asks if their vegetarians? What a moron!

Oh these are too funny! These salesmen think they are ruthless!  

Loving these stories

we used to have a man that came around in a big white van and asked if we wanted to buy any fish. the hell would be want to buy fish from a white van for lol
