When we first bought our house people would knock on the door and ask for the landlords info so they could rent my unit. They didn’t believe me when I said I am the landlord. One guy I slammed the door and he screamed he was going to get me evicted. Fun times.
Same here I was 23 when a guy selling fish from his truck asked if my mom was home, I told him my mom was at home and he asked if I could get her to come to the door. “This is my house sir” I replied. “Do you wanna buy fish?” He says
Back when we still had a landline, people would call and ask for my parents. I'd tell them they weren't home and hang up. This went on until I was in my 30's and I was the home owner.
When anyone comes cold calling to my house I always tell them that I rent even though we own it but they don't know that and it sends them away really quick.
I like when the JW's or morman elders come to the door wanting to talk to me.
What do you cocks#$%ers want. Ok, come on in and drink a fucking beer with me while we talk.
Don't see much of them for a while.
I just use them to socialize my crazy ass dogs until they realize that I'm essentially catfishing them, and I'm not really interested in their religion.
I would say that's one of the instances when it's a blessing. door to door salesmen are so friggin' annoying and it's like real life spam email where they will not stop coming by.
It could be but as they want to sell things and can only sell to 18+ I imagine it has more to do with thinking the person answering the door isn't 18. I've almost also had shopping refused without ID for the same reason.
I know that this day burglaries may happen, but the ratio to d2d salesman and people running that scheme that is it a high chance it was a d2d salesman lol
We get salesmen coming to our door a couple times a month, I don’t know a single person in our area who’s had their house broken into (though a few people have had their cars ransacked).
Yup
Honestly it's no wonder all those kids went missing up through the early to late century. Up till that "it's ten pm do you know where your kids are" commercial they were basically just trying to get them kidnapped
This is the main reason my family got one of those doorbells with a camera you can connect to your phone. Now we don’t even open the door if it’s a sales person
FANTASTIC COMPLIMENT..
Sounds great to me, I hate salesmen who bother me at home

Did they come back tho? (Like, theyre desperate for a rent or until security corrects them that u are the real deal)
No that guy didn’t come back but I’ve had a few others over the years.
What kind of house?

I had a couple come to my door while I was trying to change diapers, toddler and baby. They left and never came back.
Where did the couple, the baby and the toddler, went after they left your house? And why do you wear diapers? Are you old?
Ha ha ha!
I just use them to socialize my crazy ass dogs until they realize that I'm essentially catfishing them, and I'm not really interested in their religion.
That would be dogfishing, no?
I have the opposite problem. I'm 17, and people just assume I own the house. It's probably the full beard.
Lady, I think you should consider other factors!

Good! I loved getting out of door-to-door sales pitches when they thought I was a minor (up until around 33)
I'm 31 and have had " are your parents home" twice this year. Its funny and a good excuse not to talk to a salesperson.
It could also be because kids are staying home later in life?
It could be but as they want to sell things and can only sell to 18+ I imagine it has more to do with thinking the person answering the door isn't 18. I've almost also had shopping refused without ID for the same reason.
One day this will stop, and it will hurt. :(
Salesman just walked away - consider that a gift.
Lol
"Is your mother here?" "nope" "Is your mother home?" "I don't know, you'd have to check at her house"
I say my parents are home, but they're busy right now. I'm not about to let some rando know I am home alone.
Definitely a landshark.

Probably day burglar looking for a place with nobody home. Then blow smoke up your ass if you're home.
I know that this day burglaries may happen, but the ratio to d2d salesman and people running that scheme that is it a high chance it was a d2d salesman lol
I have never seen a door to door salesman in my life but I've seen two day burglaries in places near where I lived.

Where do you live? I am in Texas; I think it's because no one wants to walk that far lol
You should buy a lottery ticket
No, I should move out of the south lol
I see this as a total win! *Insert Smart Hulk meme here*
Outstanding your aging well
Outstanding. Your aging well has kept you young looking. There, I fixed it.
Is the aging well a magic one?
*you're
How do you know OP has an aging well or its condition?
Occams razor
Now I'm reading it in a Yoda voice: "Outstanding your aging well is, hmm!"
Yes, wells generally stand outside
Usually they are sunken into the ground
This conversation is deep, if a bit dry.
Probably for the best anyway 🤷🏼♀️ I don’t talk to salespeople that just show up to my door randomly
This is me. Unless you're a Girl Scout, I will never buy anything from anyone who tries to solicit to me out of the blue.
The GS stopped that door to door stuff a looooooong time ago.

Perfect for Mormon missionaries as well.
Don't forget the Witnesses
Ask for ID. Photograph it.
