Did you ever get those on the phone or in the house?

Well unfortunatly I guess my dad misstook the guy on the other end of the phone for a city water enspector and let the guy in.My dad has hearing problems and English is not his first language.

I had a full fleged science experemnt running in my house telling me how crappy my water is.

It was like living a borring eps of of science in that class room only really irritating. Don't get me wrong, I love science but I don't not enjoy reliving borring stuff and besides I already know my city tap water is equivlent to toilet water.

Ha! We had a Mormon try to make a visit just yesterday. Luckily they know not to open the door for that. But I told my dad next time if you get in to a phone conversation like that again to let me handle it since I understand and hear better then he does. I also if in person, that if answering the door, he should always ask for ID.

Of course for my own self, 1. I don't answer the door unless I expect you coming over and 2. If there is no name on the phone display it does not get picked up either. 3. if it really is important they will call back. 4. I do the same with Email.

He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it. -Douglas Adams (1952-2001)

Simply put, when I was flatting as a student in Melbourne we had a sign up outside the door basically saying "this is an atheist household. If you intend to knock on this door to spread religious beliefs, please save yourself some embarrassment and walk away now. If you insist on knocking, don't say you weren't warned!"

Another underneath stated simply, "If you're knocking to sell something other than religion, then don't. If your product was worth buying we'd be coming to you."

I hate when people make fun of the Jehovah's Witnesses because they never do anything bad and if they did the world would explode.

I get door to door salesmen regularly. Usually wanting to sell meat, tree cutting services, some kind of cleaning product or wanting me to switch to cable.

Where I used to live it used to be steaks/meat and those representing a religion.

You obviously haven't encountered the same JoHos most of the rest of us have encountered.

I love it when they come to my door... I feel the same about Scientologist (even tho they don't come door to door) I love asking questions and learning different ideas and point of views. I find them all to be very nice people... I will talk to them for up to an hour or more...

I'm so lonely...
