YES! There are still people doing this. They walk around with ipads and cordless eftpos machines now. Normally I'd just shut the door on them in a manner similar to my wine-deprived lady, but my son was there, and the man was using him. "Oh, you have such a healthy looking son! You must be proud! You know........ they can't all be that lucky...... now, about these kids with cancer.... it's only $10 a week! Oh, you're in debt? Well, we also have this $5 a week plan."
Flails arms, feels like a monster, says no, closes the door.
Good idea!! :D Hehe!
The whole thing reminded me of an episode of the IT Crowd. Since I'm not sure of the legalities here in linking gifs or youtube segments, I will just merely quote:
My mum says, 'Never open the door.' An unopen door is a happy door, so we never answers ours when someone knocks.
I've not heard of 'the IT crowd' and as far as I'm aware posting youtube segments is ok, at least I've seen plenty do it.
I come from a long line of non-door-openers. My father's attitude was that nobody ever knocks on the door to give you anything. They either want to take your money or hassle you. Anyone you might actually want to see already has your phone number and e-mail address.
Oh, it's very funny! :D British comedy if you're into that sort of thing.
Sounds like a good lineage to be descended from. I would prefer not to open the door, but I'm one of those people, "They can hear us, they know we're in here, it would be rude not to answer, ugh." and then my son races for the door, "SOMEONE KNOCKED! I MUST ANSWER IT!" - he expects a pizza delivery man to be standing there though. Ahhh, if only every knock could be pizza.
Thank you for reading! :D And sharing my Solicitor Sorrow, haha! I'm glad too, to finally have joined in with everyone. Have done 3 in a row and am looking forward to tomorrow's prompt too!! Fun and addictive! :D
Lol. That's hilarious. Are people still doing this? We have the internet now.
