You know what it’s like, you’ve just got in from the school
run or work and all you want to do is kick off your shoes and relax or make a
start on getting the kids dinner ready.
Things are going well until suddenly there’s a rapping on your
door knocker and before you have a chance to say “no thanks I’m not interested”
the person with the I.D lanyard and clipboard is running through their spiel
without stopping for breath.
Nothing will stop them from trying to get you to sign up for
whatever it is they’re trying to sell, not even the sound of the fire alarm
going off as dinner burns to a cinder or a screaming baby.
And even as you grow more annoyed and less polite it’s like
water off a ducks back to them.
So let’s just get one thing straight shall we , I know you’re
only trying to make a living but if I was really interested in what you’re
trying to sell me I’d go out and find it for myself not spend the evening
signing up for it on my doorstep in the rain.
