Religious door to door callers are dense....
This is a minor rant, so bear with me...
JW's are quite possibly THE most annoying people on the planet. I have a BIG sign on my front door that says "No salespeople, NO religious callers, NO political canvasing. Official callers must have ID." To me, that is perfectly clear. I don't like to be disturbed by people I am not expecting as it disrupts the cats and it invades my privacy. JW's just don't get the hint though. Apparently they are immune to signs telling them to get lost. So, the doorbell goes at 8am this morning (a saturday), and I get up and answer it because it might have been my elderly neighbour needing help, which I don't mind at all. BUT, it was a pair of bloody JW's!!! As I pointed out that I REALLY wasn't interested, and by the way they should learn to read, Miss Lily Whiskers slipped out between my legs and into my front garden. The cats are absolutely not allowed out of the front door because I live on what can be a busy road at times as it is used as a rat-run in rush hour. That would have usually been fine as she's done it once before and I normally just pick her up. But this time, the JW's spooked her and she ran into the street. Fortunately she was missed by the car coming up the street at the time, but it scared her badly and she is now really spooked. To say I wasn't polite to the JW's was a bit of an understatement. I think I might have gone a bit over board when I called them illiterate morons though. ;o) Helen M (who is very relieved that Miss Lily Whiskers is fine) -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

IMO, in that case she'd have been justified in throwing THEM in front of a passing car! |

I share your views on this sort of callers. Luckily we don't get door-to-door political canvasing here. We have a parliamentary election coming up in March, so that would mean constant doorbell-ringing. Actually, buzzer-ringing, then doorbell-ringing. :P -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

It is curious that they think they have the right to force you to listen to - and accept - their twist on religion, they also think you have no right even to suggest that they listen to yours. -- T.E.D. ) Remove "gearbox.maem" to get real address - that one is dead |

Saying that you are Catholic has the same effect. In my particular case, I mean 'catholic' with a small 'c', but that difference isn't enunciated :-).
