In general there is nothing lower than BT Broadband.

However the visitor to darken my doorstep last night was.

The person in question, podgy and very stupid looking (childish I know but he was a twat) banged on my door several times until I submitted and made an effort to answer it.

When I opened it he introduced himself as being from Style and offering free quotations on PVC windows and doors.

Upon a brief look around my bright white front door which I still had hold of, and my front windows pretty close by, I made sure I sounded like I was stating the fucking obvious when I said,

"I've already got them thanks."

Now, to his credit, he didn't give up there, though in hindsight he should have done,

"But are you thinking of changing any of them?"

This I didn't expect, and was mildly irritated by his insistence when my brush off was a big enough hint. So I rose to his challenge,

"Why, what's wrong with my windows!?!"

This had him stuttering, so I made his apologies and closed the door before he could try anymore amateur tricks.

It's at times like that that I miss the Mormons not knocking anymore (think I've been blacklisted, though got two copies of the Book of Mormon in mint condition if anyone wants one)

But, it was only after the slimy little git had slithered off I actually realised what he'd said. He was trying to sell to me a couple of blokes to come round and offer me a "no obligation" quote in a few days. Then it hit me, and then I really got on one.

The slimy little shit, and his company were trying to skirt cold selling laws by calling first to offer visits.

This really pissed me off. I'm big on ethics and transparency, so whilst I was in the middle of a bollocking for "picking on a poor bloke just doing his job" I figured I was in fact right and made a point of it (no sex for me that evening)

But I'm still wound up now. I have grandparents in their late 70's and they enjoy the company, but also don't like to say no to nice people, so when I see these gobshites, all I can see is them manipulating people like my grandparents.
