Thread: Ideas to foil doorstep sellers who want to come through the living room

Personally I would first try adding wood treads to existing concrete stairs (indoor), if this fails invite Yogi to live in the attic.

Try telling them "It's OK, I already have doorsteps".

nice one andy, great cross referencing

one of the things they try to sell is some green plastic pipe, but they never have the right fittings

anymore?

How much do they want for the green plastic pipe , or can't we ask ?

you can ask until you are blue in the face but they won't tell you

the fittings are all priced though

Tell them you're a Jehovahs witness and ask if you can first talk to them about the lord and saviour Jesus while clutching a bible.

where do you get a bible? I think they sell them too

More metaphors required in this thread...

there was one guy who tried to sell me a gym membership - he said I didn't have to actually do a workout, all I had to do was drive there, have a cup of coffee and drive home, and I would lose a lot of weight

seemed like a bargain at the time

^ I am sure the salesman would lease you one if you let him in

he also sells wood over 2" wide which he said never warps

how could this be?

You don't need that green plastic pipe, just use bamboo.

one of the salesmen that call is a woman, but she dresses like a man!

I know it is not you, Kitty, because they don't sell bamboo pipe

And I ain't an Indian either.

I hadn't thought of that

why aren't you?

Incidentally, and I know this is probably not the right thread, but none of the doorstep salesmen have them, and I have asked hundreds of them from Bangkok all over to Korat and northwards

where can I find them, after all, I could get them back home in Dakota

I must have missed something?

^andy's "confused" again...or still...

If you can track them down 4inch recessed bathroom lights
put over the shower, are a pretty good deterrent.

the sellers also sell specialised English Language classes with special emphasis on all those difficult things like commas and full stops, as well as capital letters and grammar

The Marines will be here soon to help you with the pesky salesmen/women.
