Knock at the door at 6pm. I answer as dh is cooking dinner. Ddog going mad as he hates intruders knocking at his house!!!
It’s a chugger, wearing a visor with a clipboard. He gets short shift from me - sorry, we’re just about to eat dinner, but then I think we are one of the towns back in lockdown.

So IABU to think chuggers shouldn’t be knocking on doors in lockdown?

If you know the charity they are from make a written complaint to the charity. Then depending on the response take it further.

They shouldn't be knocking at doors in any area. But especially not during a lockdown. Everyone got sick of them years ago!

What on earth is a chugger?

Zoecarter · 15/08/2020 18:31

I hate them with a passion anyway.

I knew someone who did this for a living and they get a ridiculous amount of money for doing it, and their training techniques are so bloody intrusive, so I prefer to donate directly to the charities.

Yanbu at all.

Chuggers shouldn't be knocking doors ever imo.

I would be happy to see chuggers outlawed if it could be easily enforced. I would send them away very quickly and please complain to the charity if you know who it was for.

BashfulClam · 15/08/2020 21:22

Bloody parasites I actually hate them. I refuse to support any charity who pay them!

YANBU. We had an “alternative Christian” around today wanting to chat. I didn’t answer the door, leant out of an upstairs window and told them they were being irresponsible and to go away.

They still felt the need to stuff their brochure through my letter box. Later, out running I saw they’d stuck brochures in the frame of the bus shelter too.

What don’t they get ! Confused

If you know the charity that they were claiming to represent then report them.

It shouldn’t be happening if you’re in lockdown.
And spray your doorbell too.
