To be PMSL at the salesman.....

[leothelioness]

who just knocked on the door and then ask if my mum was at home....my 4 year old ran up behind me saying "mummy mummy...." the look on the guys face was priceless he didnot even try to sell me anythig just mumbled sorry and left

I am just that you look young enough to be mistaken for a young teen.

I look like Dot Cotton.

YABU.

You should have fallen at his feet thanking him. I bloody would have.

Stop showing off leo

That happened to my friend t'other day! She said she just said no, she had no idea when they'd back and closed the door.

I have every right to show off, its been a very long time since I was actually a teenager let alone one young enough to live with my mum . It did make my day though called DH at work and was laughing so hard it took him a while to find out what I found so funny. Actually tiwas not so much that he what he said but the expression on his face when DS came calling me that was priceless.

Hee hee you should have said you don't know, has he tried knocking on her door

When I was about 14 years old (long time ago!) I answered the door in my school uniform. The salesman on the doorstep asked me if I was the homeowner...?

Was he flogging laser eye surgery?

He should have gone to specsavers Bitoffunnybunny

I don't know how to tell you this but when my fil was training to do door to door sales they told them to say stuff like this to anyone under 40 .

I got that a year or so ago - he said 'is your mum in?' and as it happened she was visiting, so I said 'yes she is, but this is actually my house' - he seemed a bit embarrassed, rather than it being a sales pitch.

Bea he obviously missed that sales lesson.
He was so clearly embarassed by it that I doubt it was part of his sales technique plus he left before trying to sell me anything!
