First, my visit to the indoor shopping centre yesterday, within the first 50 yards of entering the main doors, can I interest you in a sky package, walked anther 20 yards, would you be interested in sighing up for cancer research, 20 yards round the corner, who's your gas and electric with, ( sod off) have a nice day, walked through M&S, can I interest you in M&S gas and electric. And to top it all off, my street is now invaded by Farah trousers, white shirts, black shoes, and shoulders bags, the God squad are here, Is there something mentally wrong with these idiots knocking on peoples doors on a Sunday trying to dish their crap out.

"Most of them stand there all day playing with their phones, sucking on a bottle of pop, along with the Greggs sausage roll, then after 4/5 days they disappear to be replaced with new idiots,"
you are the idiot. if they annoy you so much, why look at them all day, note what they're doing, and do that for days at a time?

Now that's a silly answer 12.05. I wish we had a bin box as well as a best answer box.

A polite response usually works or if you catch sight of the company name, I just say 'I'm with you already' and keep walking.

Door intercom too, a brief rebuttal repels unwanted callers.

Parcels are different, as neighbours we all pitch in and help each other.

[Jordyboy9]

Mamy as neighbors you all pitch in and help each other,
Very nice but check this out,
Neighbors out all day and have constant delivery’s from Amazon,we are disturbed in the afternoon when my wife is trying to rest,tried to be a good neighbor took in parcels twice only to have them collected 11.15 at night,
Now I say sorry don’t bother me again let them make other arrangements with you for collection.

[Mamyalynne]

Jordy, I was speaking for my situation and in reference to my neighbours.

If it doesn't suit you or is inconvenient then by all means explain and pop a note on the door.

[jno]

I always ask who a delivery is for and refuse it if it's for someone I don't know.

One of the advantages of living in sheltered accommodation with a door entry system is that I am never bothered with JWs, carol singers or trick or treaters.

[bednobs]

not quite as silly as monitoring what people you hate are doing so you can moan about them

[Peter Pedant]

they feel they have been told to go out and spread the faith ( evangelising)
but you kinda really knew that - innit?
