Re: Door to door church groups

one time, when the jehova's witnesses came to the door, i intentionally answered the door in my underware. When they asked if i would be interested in a copy of the watchtower, i answered no. Without skipping a beat, he said, "i am also a representative for nutri system, i know you should be interested in that!"...................i don't go to the door in my underware anymore.

Lol. Door to door church groups are always coming 'round my way. And man! do they like to get familiar. Once they knocked on the door and my brother answered and he doesn't like to turn ppl away so he listened to them, they left and he thought that was the end of that.
Few days later we heard a knock on the door and someone call my bros name, it was like an informal knock like, you know a familiar, friendly knock. So we thought it was a family member or close friend, guess what? it was them lot!!lol!
So they continued to come back every few days, and my mum got tired of it, so she just explained to them that we were happy w/ our faith and weren't looking to change etc. and the guy was like "Mmmhm, Oh ok, Just let (My bro's name) know we stopped by."and left. The way he said it was like " we aint here for you anyway lady so move it along." LOL!
Took awhile but they ain't comin' around no more....well those particular ppl anyways....we got a few new ones on our backs right now!

Wouldn't it be less traumatic to change the locks?

Eh, I guess her son has an input to that decision...

Desperate means call for desperate measures. Changing the locks would have causd trouble with Maman.

Instead of listening to them, try converting them to The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

This also works for intruding MILs. For MILs that have their own key or insist upon entering without knocking, try to be engaged in sex with her son in a 'novel' place or position as she intrudes.

I know, get a lot of dried ice by the door, put on a black cape, don some dracula fangs and fake blood, swing the door open and say real loud, "Bhwaa haa haa haaaaaa!!!"

No thanks; I like to keep my home life and my work life separate.

Move to Utah. Apparently, if you live here and are not already Mormon, they write you off as a lost cause.

Take off your clothes before you answer the door.

Re: Door to door church groups

I was minding my own business, lying in bed on a Sunday morning. I was thinking of breakfast and how those sausages with their pepper taste would be next to the egg, bacon and black pudding,

The doorbell rang and two Jehovas witnesses stood there with their pamphlets.

Those of you who know me,,,,, will also know that I am an ex sailor and my hobby is cooking for friends and family.

Ex sailors have been versed in 'Offshore Language !'

Those people certainly got an earful from me >>>>> I'm Not Proud to say. !!!

Re: Door to door church groups

I just tell them "sorry, not interested" and close the door. Firm but polite.

Uh-huh, that works, too. The to-the-point approach.

But saying you are the maid/butler throws a little humor into the rejection. Humor for the homeowner, that is, not the solicitor.

And, as we all know, not opening the door to strangers is safest, just talk through the door if it is in a closed position.
