Just had a horrible experience with a cold caller

NC for this, will change back afterwards.

DS went out to post a letter for me. Just after he went out the doorbell rang so I thought he'd forgotten something and opened the door. Van outside, cold caller at door but looking the other way so I closed the door again.

Doorbell rings again. I opened the door and said can you not knock on peoples' doors please and started to close the door.

He immediately got abusive, asking me what my problem was and when I said he was invading my privacy, not the other way round, he told me I was a fucking whore and said he hoped I''d get coronavirus!

I said I was lost for words as to how nasty he was being and him going round knocking on doors was likely to spread it (highly unlikely in practice but just why?)

How not to get work!

I'd name and shame personally, but I am in bitch mode right now. I don't have any time or tolerance for people like him right now. If you are rude to me you bet your ass I will stand up for myself and others you are putting at risk.
