On top of the bad day I'm having, I just had 2 Church of Jesus Christ guys ring my door bell (how the hell did they get into my gated community where solicitaion is prohibited?), and ask if I'm interested in learning about how to be saved by Jesus Christ. In my semi-drunken stupor, I told the guys I'm buddhist and don't care about that. (I'm not buddhist, in reality).

Then after I close the door on these two guys, my phone rings, with an offer of a free mortgage quote.

What a Friday. I'm gonna crack another beer.

Don't bother me.

PS- how is it that in my semi-drunken stupor I'm able to type more coherently than some of these illiterate teenwies out there? That escapes me. I guess I'm not drunk enough. *cracks open 2nd beer, sits back with popcorn*

when doorknockers appear at my door i often listen to their "i'm with..." intro and then, lowering my voice, i lean out and ask them if they know how to get spattered blood off the wall... i've "made a mistake" and i'm sure the police are on their way. they almost always leave **immediately**.

i often use that same routine on telemarketers or i'll say (to telemarketers) that i'm glad they called, have they got a minute? i usually tell them that i'm interested in their product, but my wife died, i'm lonely and i have a spastic colon, would they be my friend... i need friends right now. i usually get a pretty quick "click".

if they happen to call for me personally (using my legal name MR POPS), i'll sigh deeply and say, "i'm sorry, he passed away last month, i'm a renter". click.

as for your bad day, heck - there's been a lot of free entertainment (and popcorn) here today - and you even had BEER and didn't share it. now **that's just bad manners**!

me? i'm off to have a beer, now that you mention it :)

nite all, overnout.
 
I'm having a really crappy day too. It started when I had to get out of bed BEFORE lunch time.... can you believe it?! :D :D :D








(i mentioned lunch...waiting for <B>Donwon</B> to appear ;) )
 
I have not received one solicitaion phone call since I put my number on the do not call list. When I use to get phone calls I would ask the caller if he/she was giving me something, usually they say no so I would say "then you are selling me something and I am not interested." Click!

As for the door bangers I do not get them here because I have a gate at the end of the driveway and they can't get on the property.
I have a freind who had some religious people come to his house last summer. He climbed out on his roof through a window, in just boxer shorts he started yelling Satan at the top of his lungs. They left swiftly.

The next time you see these guys coming, start stripping.
Answer the door NAKED and they will never come back again!
LOL I was thinking that, but I thought, what if they liked it? :redface:

They called themselves "Elder John" and "Elder Dan", but they couldn't have been more than 17. :biggrin:

If they're Elders, I'm a "distinguished gentleman." :wink:

Friends of mine did that to the pizza delivery kid one time. 3 girls and 3 guys. They said it was hilarious.

-j-
 
When they come to my door, I ask them If they know why they are out knocking on doors? If they say that its because they are trying to tell people about Jesus,I invite them in to tell them that their church is just using them and the real reason they send them out there is to further solidify their brain washing, then I explain the true history of their church.they hate that! after that they never return. :smile:
 
I'm plagued by telemarketing fax machines that phone my home at 2 am repeatedly! try that for a couple weeks :) Worst part is that they call from a blocked number. I think i am going to have to implement caller block blocking..
 
We actually made a little sign and taped it to our front glass door that reads:

'NO SOLICITING'

The best (or worst) part is that people evidently had no idea what those words meant, because they still would ring our doorbell and bother us at 8 a.m. on a Saturday. So I had to add something to the sign.....in parenthesis below the 'NO SOLICITING' I wrote:

(This means if you are selling something don't bother ringing this bell.)

Now, I thought that was SUPER clear.....but we still had a pair of smiling dip$hits ring the doorbell at 7:30 A.M. ON A WEEKEND!! Needless to say I was good and mad that they woke me up so when I pulled the door open and asked what they wanted (of course they started their religious line) I pointed to the sign and asked, 'Did you read this'. They smiled all smug and said, 'Yes...but we are not SELLING anything,' which just pi$$ed me off since they are SELLING their religion on this early morning to someone that was otherwise sleeping. At that point I just asked them to leave and closed the door. :mad:

you are ignorant.. One of the many Buddhism creed is the tolerance, and acceptance of other religion. So you should have said

"Im sorry, I'm an advocate of Satan."

Thats what Robbin Willams said in his HBO stand up:

guy at door: Have you found Jesus?
RW: Makes you wanna go to the door nude and say: NO! I haven't c'mon lets find him!

This is the same stand up from which the "How golf was invented" for those who are curious. :biggrin:
 
I don't know how "bad" your day was but here was how my Tuesday went, the wife went to denver on sunday night to see her sister who gave birth that day...Tuesday morning I wake up late,get the kids to school late,get speeding ticket on my way to work,late,I have abdominal pains and diarrhea,my lower back is killing me,I make exactly 0 dollars and 0 cents working all day,my mother calls me and says "your grandmother is in the hospital, has pneumonia and may not live",then to top it all off! my wife calls from colorado to say that her sisters boyfriend/father of the baby is yelling at her and making her sleep in a chair while she is there to help them with the new baby!...I have no idea how this compares to your bad day but I think if I had stayed home and had only religious freaks come to my door I would have been just fine :wink:
