I was able to resolve it within 30 seconds but it was a Petty Thing and it Got On My Nerves.

First day they sent us to a high rise in Ibrox (I think), nearly every door was opened by someone with limited English or at least pretending to have limited English and clearly the area was not going to be frequented by folk with money spare to give to a donkey sanctuary or whatever crap we were attempting to get money for. Also it was all commission based so no sales, no wage. Anyway, after about two hours I decided this clearly wasn't for me. Made my excuses and said I was gonna nip out on the landing for a quick cigarette while the female I was with harassed another poor soul. Once out on the landing I just kept walking, jumped in the lift then walked to the train station and never looked back. Fair play to anyone that can do that but two hours of it was soul destroying I did that when I was a teenager working in a shop in Guildford. I'd had the job 2 days when, in the middle of stacking some shelves I thought "What the actual f**k am I doing" and just walked out. Never went back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when they try to give it "its only a tiny amount of your household budget" and "loads of your neighbours have been so generous today" I had one of those at the door a few months back. Made the mistake of letting the chat go on too long and rather than simply saying no, I signed up somebody of a different name with my old bank details to a Standing Order 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to anyone that can do that but two hours of it was soul destroying I lasted four weeks. Last day it was pissing down in Bellshill, one person had answered the door all day, some local urchins asked me if i was CID (i had a long coat on) and i said yes so they followed me and i was bursting for a shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one time I was in the shower and the door went - my missus had just left a few minutes before so I assumed she'd forgotten her keys and wanted back in. I answered with a towel round my waist and dripping wet hair, to be confronted by some daft bint whose opening gambit was: "Hi - I'm from such and such a charity. I won't take up more than five or ten minutes of your time...." "Five or ten seconds you mean. Beat it." Worst porno ever 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Perth and Kinross council’s grass cutting schedule meaning that I’m having to worry about getting a full cricket pitch cut on a day’s notice.

If a salesman comes to the door asking if he has double glazing he replies with "are you ready to let the lord Jesus Christ our saviour save your soul?" and the other way round. Seems a decent tactic, tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Being awake from half four, then just finally starting to feel sleepy when the kids wake up. Seething. Also, being borderline for needing the heating on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
