Knock Knock

[RussellB[SA]]

Since I’ve retired I have more time to think and deal with those every day situations that were too minor to deal with like talking to the religious people knocking at the door.

Well the devil in me decided to invite the guys knocking at the door and invite them in for some fun discussions.

So with surprised looks on their faces they entered my reception room, I invited them to sit down, offered them a drink (water of course) and asked them what would they like to talk to me about?

With a blank expression on their faces they looked at me in a bewildered fashion and after an inordinate amount of time admitted they didn’t know what to talk about, they have never got this far before.

Have a nice day y’all.

I enjoy it when they ring along a young apprentice to show them how it's done. I never let them in, rather waste their time standing at the front door, that's the thoughtful kind of person I am. I let them start the ball rolling and in no time at all they will give me 3 or 4 leads to start my response. as soon as the older one in the lead startsto stumble I turn to the apprentice and ask for their ideas on the subject and then use the remaining leads all the time questioning just how much they know about the background to what they are talking about? Lasts about 10 mins generally before the senior teacher grabs the apprentice and head off

Normally, it goes like this:

Ding Dong (or knock knock cause they can 't see the flipping bell button)

I says hello

They says "Hello We're from xxxxxxx church of the annoying door knockers"

"We won't take up much of your time ....."

I says thank you and close the door.

I is a nice person

My Cousin got sick of them knocking so one day when they called he opened the door and said, I have no interest in your religion but I will make a donation to your cause, he gave them 5 cents and said...........spend it wisely.

Answer the door in your birthday suit that seems to work for me.

They quickly leave.

I dont get that chance to talk to them anymore, Bev sees them coming and hushes them away, BUT I did once and it went ,he to me" Hi Bob how is it going today" I was working fitting out the bus, The son inlaw was just there talking to me, He must have picked up my name there. I said "do I know you"? " er no" he said , I see the folder under his arm. "your not pushing that stuff are you" another "er not realy" I said "mate you better start down the drive before I call the dog" the son inlaw was just comeing back and was near the gate, I sort of half laughing and trying to sound like I ment it said . Bass let broozzer out will you quick ,this guys selling that stuff. I nealy felt sorry for him as he raced down the drive looking back with the fear of ... on his face. The son inlaw said your a mean barstead we dont have a big dog.
Im not anti anything just dont try to sell it to me at my place.

I don't want to talk to people about that stuff, If we agree then there's no need to talk, if we don't ,I don't like conflict and have no need to convert you to my way of thinking, so there's no need to talk.

If I don't know you all of the above again doubly.

I really am a nice guy.

I tell them I don't listen to anyone preaching their religion on the doorstep,if I wanted to listen I would go to the local church.
Although, in saying that, I went to church 45 years ago, walked in single, came out married.



Haven't been back since then.

The ones trying to sign you up to a better electricity deal give me the sh*ts, they just won't go away. My latest tactic is to tell them Margaret handles all that sort of thing, if they want to come back after 7 pm she might talk to them but no guarantees, they don't come back at 7 pms
