Darth Vader Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Tell him you think you've stubbed your toe and broke it on the way to answering the door, and ask him if you can make a claim against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love_rat Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Think I may have to make a compensation claim, in order to meet the rising costs of my insurance premiums. How much would I get for walking into a lampost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before they start jabbering, inform them that at the end of the sales patter you will be saying NO! and ask them to decide if it's worth their while continuing or not.

helhol Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Tell him you think you've stubbed your toe and broke it on the way to answering the door, and ask him if you can make a claim against him. just made my day, i remember years ago i had a door to door salesman for an electric company come knocking, i said you are wasting your time and he said no he wasnt, so i said well your wasting mine and shut the door in his face, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 How 'bout this then. Before they start jabbering, inform them that at the end of the sales patter you will be saying NO! and ask them to decide if it's worth their while continuing or not. Tell him you'll think about it, get a business card, find out the name of the company he works for, tell him you're reporting him and his company to the Ministry of Justice for breaking the cold calling regulations and that he's just lost his job. Or, in about 2 months, call the police as it'll be illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
