To not buy somehting from someone just because they told me to abuse my DC's?

[LynetteScavo]

Double glazing sales man (I only want a front door) came to my house.

3 DC's are running around the living room laughiing; the younger 2 have stripped down to their under wear. I say shaply " I can't hear what we are saying." close the living room door on the and continue conversation in the hall.

Salesman says; "You're going to slap them in a minute, aren't you."

I say "er..no."

A few minutes later they run upstairs laughing, having now got dressed.

Salesman; "How many kids have you got?"

Me; "only 3"

Salesman; "I've only got 3, but they don't make that much noise, you need to give them a good hard smack."

Me;

So am I being unreasonable not to buy anything of him because of this? I wouldn't even if his quote was lower than other peoples, which it isn't.

He also advised me not to go with local firms incase they went bust, and I said , "Well they will go bust if people don't use them." Tosser.

wanker

Can't be that good a salesman if he misreads his audience that badly.

Tosser is right.

No I threw a chimney sweep out once because he said to my DD's they needed to get and tidy their bedroom up.
I pointed out he was not here to be rude to my children, did he have anything to say about the state of my kitchen, no, well then out the door you go.
I admit I was pregnant at the time

[fryalot]

wonder if they taught him such people skills in salesman school

[PlumBumMum]

Def wouldn't buy anything from him
god help his kids they're prob afraid to make any noise!

[Ripeberry]

Chimney sweeps they are a strange bunch aren't they? A couple of years ago (reminds me to get it done again) we had our chimney swept and the sweep brought along his 7yr old son as it was half-term.
The son spent most of the time looking at everything in the house and opening cupboards, then he produced a cat skull from his jacket pocket and said it used to be his pet cat (urgghhhh!)
Quite glad when they left

[LynetteScavo]

I thought you were going to say the 7yo was sent up the chimney!

[sorrento]

Our chimney sweep made a point of telling me he hadn't got children .... thank god for that I thought
I know we joke about sending our kids up chimney's but bloody hell maybe yours really did

[Ripeberry]

No, i reckon they sent the cat up the chimney. Especially if it was a fluffy one!

[HappyandEiknowit]

i would have slapped the salesman how bloody rude!!!
i would be tempted to ring his boss and explain exactly why i didnt take the deal aswell!! the cheek!!

[Janos]

Blimey, no NBU at all! What a wanker.

[tiredsville]

He obviously knows how to charm potential customers tosspot

[FairLadyRantALot]

He sounds like a complete tosser

[Heated]

Moron!

My postman told me ds was "ugly" - he had milk spots at 10 days old so no, not the prettiest, but it's not the thing to say to a hormonal mother who was going to contribute to your retirement fund.

love the emotional intelligence

[sorrento]

My postman was too busy starring at my tits 10 days post baby, bless him, he couldn't take his eyes off.

Sounds about standard for a double glazing salesman- they are usually a charming, smarmy breed.

One turned up on my door step once. Greasy hair, badly fitted suit (with elbow pads- ) dirty shoes etc.

Asked me if I was interested in buying double glazing as my windows looked very old and scruffy!

I'm sure you can imagine what my response was!

[smartiejake]

P.S. YANBU I would refuse to buy anything from such a prat and I would complain to his company so they were aware that his comments had menat I was not buying their goods.

Was it a well known company beginning with E?

[geminigirl]

YANBU!!!!! Gethimout,gethimout,gethimout,gethimout. What a p*k!

[pamplemousse]

What a tosser def don't buy from a big company, go local, much cheaper and nicer I used to work in one and everyone in my office was lovely and helpful, plus you could go into the factory and see what you're buying.

[LackaDAISYcal]

I'd complain about him to his head office....what a tosser.

[Ronaldinhio]

I wouldn't bother reporting him..they'll only have a laugh about you
Chalk it up and tell everyone you know tha they are tossers and put them out of business
