to be p***ed off with a double glazing sales person for waking DS up!!!!!

[Mouseface]

I know he has a job to do albeit a very piss poorly paid/commission only job. Canvassing and cold calling is a thankless task.

But... does he have to hammer on the fricking door AND ring the bell three times??!!!

I'd hidden the ringer for the bell under a cushion but the door banging??

Really? Where's the fire?

DS had only been asleep half and hour or so, he's teething so feeling pretty bloody pants, bless him.

On opening the door, I got the whole, "I can see you've had new windows but do you want a conservatory? Or new doors? Or any windows at the back Mrs?"

Mrs? Rude assumption. I just said no thank you but he carried on asking about the windows we did have, could I recommend a friend - waffle waffle.

I said "I'm going to close the door now, goodbye."

DS is now wide awake. I'm posting this rant so I don't go track this child (he looked 13, at most!) down and shoot him. GGGrrrrrrr!

Ok, rant over. Off to sooth DS.

Go shoot him for the benefit of the teething toddler down the road.

Bloody Sky have just done the same door hammering! Are they sent to a special academy on how to try to gain entry like the SAS!!

Right, that's it. Time for a notice:

No canvassing on pain of death!!!!

I wouldn't be polite.
Probably something along the lines of.
"Thanks for that, idiot, you woke my toddler"
(Been there with meter readers.)

YANBU. cold callers would get very short shrift but my brother is staying with us at the moment and constantly comes into the hall where DS often sleeps in his pram. DB then crashes around a bit and shouts hello until DS wakes up. I want to throttle him (DB not DS).

Why is it that when you say no to them, they carry on talking??? WTF???

STOP TALKING. NOW!

The Sky guy did that and my DH thought I was going to deck him!

Maybe I should've. Very PMT today.
