Charities knocking on your door. what do you do?

I know charities exist, I see it all the time on TV. I dont need them knocking on my door too. So i'd tell them I know how to donate if need be, but right now no thank you.

Just say you are not interested.

No idea why people have to be rude to people these days for the hell of it. If they start being pushy then that's different. But the vast majority aren't. If you just say you aren't interested they leave. Just like most religious groups that come to the door.

Spot on. If they are pushy, just repeat the same line. They usually get the message quickly, if not just simply shut the door.

How do you spot if it's a Jehovah's Witness? I'm genuinely interested :o

Well we've got glass in the doors and it's the same people every time so after answering the door to them on one or two occasions you know it's the same people when they turn up again as you can see them through the glass. :)

They have a chilling, unholy aura that emanates from them at a sizeable distance. After the twentieth time of them knocking at your door at the exact same time of the week; you can detect said aura.

It's a rather unique power I have.

Nothing to do with identify theft. He'll be employed by an agency and paid by commission. If he doesn't take the completed form away with him he won't get paid for it.
 
I'll have to see if I can feel it in my 'waters' then :p

In other news; has anyone had any ex-convicts knocking on their door trying to sell things like kitchen wear, tea towels, pegs (rofl) etc?

We've had 3 over the course of the past 6 months. One called when it was just my mum in, she's quite cautious about people at the door and asked 'Who is it' before opening, he started explaining and pushed some ID through the letter box... On the ID card was some information, name etc, but in the picture box there was no picture, but a drawing :p He'd drawn a likeness bless him, smiley face, curly hair, (I hope he didn't actually look like that), anyway my mum told him she wasn't interested and pushed it back through, after about 20 seconds of this he told her to **** off :mad:

We had the last one about 2 weeks ago, I answered the door and panicked as I couldn't think of a decent excuse, so in my haste I said 'Oh, my dad will deal with you!' (he was stood next to me) so I let him take care of it whilst I ran off upstairs feeling quite sheepish/laughing :D Good times.
 
I normally answer the door with one of my rats on my shoulder. Most people get really uncomfortable when they see them and don't really try to convince me to give them money. When it's religous people the pretty much back away really quickly!

Unfortunately, my plan does back fire every so often as some people have asked if they can hold them while talking to me! They're few and far between, thankfully!

i didnt say it was identity theft i said they expect everything needed to do it

then they shouldhave a referal number on the form so they know who got the donation :P
 
whilst i agree that they are just doing their job. if i want something ill ask for it. and i dont want/need someone calling me up disturbing me from pasty smashing etc.

in the past ive had some quite rude scrotes to me. last one being when i had sky i had someone calling me asking if i wanted to take insurance on the box.
i politely said no thanks saying that its not worth it and next thing i know he screaming at me telling me that dont take it if i want a replacement its gonna cost me 80 quid. when all you gotta do is cancel and then resign up for 30
