Things you'd like to say, but can't

[Ming the Merciless]

Door to door salesman. You are trying to sell me something, so just cut to the chase. It's my right to shut the door on you, don't bloody knock again after 5 mins. I still don't want to listen to your waffle.

Why can't you say that then?

Because you can't get a word in edge ways and even if you could they ain't listening

When they open with "Don't worry I'm not trying to sell you anything" I always reply with "That's good because I'm not buying anything". Works every time, normally followed by them leaving and me shouting after them " So what did you want to talk about?".

Or there's lots of other things you could say. Many of them quite a lot quicker.

Put up a sign near the door that says you don't buy from door to door sellers.
When they start to talk to you tell them to read the sign.
If they don't shut up keep saying read the sign. Keep repeating it then say "I'm shutting the door." And shut it. Pull it to hard so if they don't move they'll get shut in the door too.

I will always be polite to salesmen( and god botherers ) the first time, if they then carry on , they get told to feck off

Thank you maaaaam for taking the time out of your day to come and have a walk round and shake a few hands, but what we need right now is to be re-housed, attempt to re-build our lives and try to get few answers to why this happened.

On receipt of our patronising email from Jeremy Hunt, today, I would love to have responded directly to him saying that he was a clueless, sanctimonious buffoon, with a few expletives in it as well.

Those eyebrows really only work on Vulcans

Is that what you would like to say to one of those women who shaves off her eyebrows then paints on really weird ones?
Why????

I told my girlfriend she'd painted her eyebrows on too high. She looked surprised.

I told her she hadn't painted them on level, she looked at me quizically.

Some of the "youngsters" I attend to at work have the most bizarre eyebrows

Shaped eyebrows are very 'in' at the moment as is very heavy make-up. Some women do resemble clowns with so much slap on. How it stays on in the weather I don't know, after 10 minutes I would end up looking like Alice Cooper
