Anybody that thinks they can phone my house in order to solicit money without paying a percentage of my monthly phone bill can go fuck themselves. Now businesses on the other hand, are a different matter.

PM me your number, I've got a deal on tea towels

We'll only need one, big guy.

How'd you know I was watching Babestation?

I would give you my number if you were heading out this way, but I get the feeling I would end up with the Adam Teese treatment.
Anyway, I'm not ignorant to anyone that calls, just people from India named Dave, trying to sell me "air duct cleaning service", on a daily basis. I once had a great drunken convo with an Irish lad aboot Stevie Ireland and Willo Flood.

Take a leaf out of my book.

Spend a quick 30 years not paying bills. Constantly falling behind in repayments. Never going on the electoral roll. Changing your phone number every six months and generally acquiring a credit rating in minus figures. ( If that's possible. ) And eventually filing for bankruptcy.

Hey presto. No fucker ever tries to flog you anything.

I got a call once from Nationwide saying that i had won a grand in the competition, I thought great.
So they made an appointment for a rep to come and see us.

It was'nt until the guy came to our door that it was not the Nationwide as in my then mortgage company but Narionwide windows and doors!

Being the polite person i am i invited him in (Big mistake), made him a cuppa and he started reeling off his sales pitch even going to his car getting minature windows to show us the quality etc..

We were actually looking to buy a new pvc door for the side of the house so we asked how much and thats when i got pissed off.
I hate being fecked around and when he mentioned his price say 1200 pounds (can't remember exactly was a few years ago), i said it was to expensive. He then got his calculator out and said if you buy now and sign i can do it for 850 pounds. Again i said thanks but no thanks to expensive he said ok i'll knock some of my commision off and call it 750 pounds but need to buy and sign today.
At this point if he#d said he would give me the door for free i would not have accepted it because no one fecks me around especially with his bullshit discounts. Bearing in mind he#d also calculated my so called thousand pound voucher in his calculations!

Anyway I then told him again thanks but no thanks and we don't want to buy anything thankyou.
Would the fecker leave!!! Nope he gets his mobile out and does the I'll phone my manager and see if he can give you a special discount!!!
He does the call or pretends to and suddenly my door only costs 500 pounds now.
Again i say no thanks and the misses looks at me and she like me is very pissed off.

There was then a kind of stand off where no one said anything and again I told him were not going to buying anything today and I think he finaly got the message to feck off and you could tell he was majorly pissed that we did not buy anything after spending a good 2 1/2 to 3 hours talking his sales bullshit.

These 2 - 3 hours me and the misses will never get back all because of a cold call i got from the Nationwide thinking it was Nationwide my mortgage lender.

Point of the story - make sure who your dealing with or better still just put the phone down.

thats an interesting story mate, and one I guess we could all learn from, these sales people who blag theyre way into your house are indeed vermin, I let a central heating sales guy in once in the 70's to give us a quote, would he leave ? would he fuck, in the end I had to threaten to call the cops, turns out his quote was highest as well.

This is, indeed, sound advice. Poverty can solve all sorts of problems, such as obesity and alcoholism and is a major contributor to the peace of mind gained from a hassle free existence.

You make a good general point but it's not really applicable to me.

I am in fact both obese and an alcoholic.

I don't particularly live in poverty either. I earn a decent enough wage. I just prefer to keep it for myself, rather than the costly inconvenience of paying off debts.

Sorry mate, just being flippant, I am not being judgemental.
Anyway, fair play to you, I've been in similar situations over the years.

Why the fuck are you so polite the guys obviously trying to rip you of, which is theft in my book. You should of gone in to your kitchen pulled out a big fuck off kitchen knife waved it around a bit and told the son of a woman to get the fuck out of your house NOW.

Just tell them your too busy to talk right now but ask for their home number and you will ring them tonight.
They will say " um I cant do that"
Say why not, is it because you don't want to be bothered at home.
If they say yes, tell them that's how you feel so fuck off

I've lost count of the number of "Asian" people phoning me up saying "you've got a problem with your computer" I politely tell them "that's interesting, as I don't have a computer", then the phone goes dead.





I own an iPad, and an iphone. Fucking c^nts.

Keep the c**ts on the phone

"Oh hello sir, let me just get a pen and paper to write the info you're about to tell me down. I'll be back in a second..."

Then just carry on with whatever you were doing with the phone on the floor and the fool on the other end waiting.
