Upset neighbours

[Whatmonth]

I have name changed for this post.

For a number of years when getting my late mother in laws shopping there was always 2 or 3 people who were Jehovah witness sitting or standing outside the market. As I passed I always said hello or just smiled. Politeness costs nothing.

Then covid hit and mil passed so I didn't need to go to that area again.
In February
JW came around our street. One of these ladies recognised me and
as I was in the front garden we had a small chat.
She in no way forced any religion onto me. In fact I mentioned going to my local church.

This morning they came around again. This lady knocked on my door and I said thank you for calling but Im not interested. She went on her way with no upset on her part.

The neighbours across the road have just come over and said it's my fault these in his words vermin coming to our street.

Surely all anyone needs to say is 'no thanks' then shut the door.

Tell your neighbour to fuck off quite frankly!

They often don't take no for answer and keep returning. I'd be really annoyed too.

If you take some leaflets from your JH 'friend', you can give them to him next time he accosts you. He'll soon leave you alone

Ridiculous. They come around anyway, we have them at our door about once a year encouragement or not.

What @AllAboardTootToot said with an added "you twat" 😁

Hmm, vermin? A bit strong. I mean, how hard is it for your neighbour to not answer the door? Or anyone else for that matter.

Can’t get worked up about so little.

Neighbours sound like dicks to me.
I used to regularly chat to one of the JW ladies near me when I was out dog walking . Other then giving me a leaflet one time she never mentioned religion, we just talked about my dogs!!

I've lived in my house for nearly 30 years. JW come around at least 3 times a year.
If you say no thank you they leave straight away.

I have no time for anyone going door to door pushing religion.
But a) I would never call them vermin that's disgraceful (and hate speech against a protected characteristic)
But b)....he's deluded if he thinks this has anything to do with you.
JW come round our street for 3 weekends in road once a year.

He's a dick. He doesn't get to police who comes to your door. If he feels they are visiting him too often he needs to take that up with them himself.

Never had them knocking on my door for a long time, I see them in the street standing beside a display with their magazines. When they did come to the door, I simply said ‘no thank you’ and they were always polite and left….

That said, I obviously wouldn't call other human beings vermin. Thats completely unhinged behaviour.

I would tell him to contact the local Kingdom Hall and tell them to stop coming. Done.

OP, is there something you’re not telling us? Is your neighbour a munchkin? Is he envious of your garden?

Whilst I have no interest in JH I have admiration for them knocking on doors when they know they will get fucked off or abuse

in all the years they’ve come round they have been respectful polite and not pushy

tbh I’m more offend at clean easy coming round with there shit Catalogues and demanding them back

call me a twat but I would of told your neighbour you are joining JH

JW. Jehovah's Witnesses.

Yeah, you've got to admire their pluck!

'I don't think I can take all the credit for nice friendly people knocking on your door. But you can sure as hell take 100% of the credit for arse holes knocking on mine' slam door in face

This^^

I've had wee chats with Jehovah's Witnesses on my doorstep before now and also out in public. They've always been polite, friendly not pushy at all and I've never seen them in my street since the one time I chatted to them.

Your neighbour is a complete nut

The neighbour is an idiot.
Don't get me started on his garden.
Thinks he's the big man of the street.

Ha ha , tell neighbours to fuck off, the JW are just doing their thing, not hurting anyone, neither are you it's them being arseholes

Your neighbours are gobshites. They sound very unhinged.

Bit much calling them vermin 😕

Thought so.

What a twat.

To call people "vermin" just becuse they are trying to get you into their group is not on. Most religons try and do this even Christians/etc but no one does it like a JW

We had up until recently, every Sunday differ groups of JW's - walking at a snails pace, chatting very clamyl and slowly and they knco on your door - as you said, "no thanks, I'm not interested, thnk you," see them off with a smile

What an utter arse!

of course it's not 'your fault' they're knocking on your street!

I'm obviously not a) as observant as many posters (they come in fits and starts & can be quite persistent for a short period, but no idea actually how often or for how long)

or b) as good at moving them along, they persist despite being told I'm not interested.

Frankly they're a pain in the arse, but to describe them as vermin is vile behaviour.

I got/get quite a few posted letters from them too.

ii feel like I'd want to do something about him calling them vermin, but I don't know what one could do??

Id certainly tell tell him a)who knocks my door is NONE of his business.

& b) them knocking his door is not of my doing,
