So some guy came to the door just now, we're trying to get out boys down for the night. First off he hands me a bottle of Febreeze, which I didn't willingly accept. Then explains it's a gift in return for my letting him show off some cleaning supplies.

Knowing damn well the answer, I asked him what time it was. After getting out his phone, "Um, 8:40."

"Get on out of here bud, don't come back," as I was closing the door.

Guy had the nerve to ask for the Febreeze bottle back while extending his hand. "Nope."

I watched him until he drove away, pistol in my back pocket the entire time. I live in the sticks, no sensible person would drive around out here in the dark cold calling people trying to sell some fucking cleaning supplies.

WTH are people thinking? It's nearly 9 o'clock at night, not 5 or 6. All you can show me at that time is the back of your head as you're leaving, and preferably not even that.

But hey. Free Febreeze. Yay.
 
you sure it is febreeze and not water? :lol:
 
We live just off US-1, and get all sorts in our little neighborhood. The meat salesmen are the worst. Last one was here, I told him he was now trespassing, as he had been asked to leave, and I was calling the cops...he was still trying to sell his junk as I started to punch 911 into the cell phone...like I was still gonna buy something from him?

Lots of times, they are looking for a ripoff, and are testing you, or just checking if someone is home or not. Last Christmas, I had someone knock, and he tried the door before I could get there to open it. He launched into some BS about how he was here to fix the heat pump on a house in the neighborhood, but didn't have an address on the work order. He started telling worse lies when I started asking questions that he couldn't answer, like the name of who called, what company he worked for, etc. I called the cops on them (2 guys in a work van)...but they got gone.

One lady rang the bell after 9 one night...we are about 1/2 mile total from the BP station, and she came all the way to our house to beg gas money, because her 'elderly mother' needed to get to the hospital. Story started changing when I offered to call an ambulance for her...then it turned into me misunderstanding, her mother was already in the hospital, and this lady needed to get there...of course, then I offered to call the Sheriff's dept, as they have a fund for stuff like that (I don't know if they do or not), and they'd send an officer to help her. She decided real quick that she had some gas money after all, and didn't need anything.

I could use some free Frebreeze, though.
 
it's a scam a lot of times.......people come to your door actling liked they sell stuff....and all they're doing is checking who lives there and if they should come back and rob them. there was a news thing about them "marking" the houses as well...look on the outside of your house to see if he put any kind of marks that are noticeable
 
the cleaning guys hit our subdivision about a month ago. it was till 9pm and these idiots were beating on the door, ringing the doorbell. i came back in the house, had people on the deck eating and grilling so im first to the door. look thru the window next to the door cause i hear multiple voices. there are three guys, as i look out the window one sack of shit is climbing into the back of my truck. i lost it, the proverbial WTF and everyone is now staring into the house from the backyard. I went upstairs opened the lock box and tucked my sig in my waist.

one of the guys there is off duty wspd but has on one of his training t's. two other guys are active duty so here they go, everyone is going out the door lol.. thuggy d number one is standing in the back of my truck kicking my tool box out of his way (had been working on a jeep earlier) snoop diggity 2 is leaning on my drivers side door looking in the open window and their "boss" is five feet into my damn garage. when i came around the corner i yelled what the fu*k are you doing? this got everyone's attention, including the guy across the street's 79 year old mom. oops

hello sir we are from clean and simple - i cut him off at this point. i told him that he must be simple for coming into someone's garage and having his fuk stick employee standing in the back of my truck and the other leaning on it. he went into his pitch and told me that his assistant wanted to clean the build up on my gutters. then douche 2 sprays some shit on a cloth and starts wiping it all over my truck. told the guy that had boss on his shirt he better pack up his crew and move the hell on or i was going to call more cops, including the one standing there and that was after i beat the shit homeboy for wiping that crap all over my truck door.

idiots. by that time most of the people out on the block were watching the show so the van load of idiots picked those guys up and they left. only one guy I know of a few houses down bought the stuff so i like to think that i prevented some from being ripped off, being stolen from or having their homes cased. can just hear their story "this asshole had a gun and was nuts, he had military guys trying to beat us up” lol.
 
We've had at least one somebody knocking on doors in our neighborhood. Not selling anything but the story goes something like... I got a ride from Wake Med and need to get to Zebulon, I went to the police station and they won't help me... wth are you in dt Raleigh in the first place and how did you get here? Knocked on our friends' door at 11:30 pm, while we were still there talking after dinner a week or so ago.

The dogs are the first line... they go ape when they hear a car door or someone beep their alarm, much less a knock. Sometimes the mail carrier skips our house. :lol:
 
Most Cities/towns have ordinances about this shit. In Fayetteville they have to have a valid peddlers permit. Each member is supposed to carry a copy of it on them. That is my first question I ask them. If they do not have it on them I tell them to stand in my driveway and wait for the cops. Most of the time they leave. At this point I follow them until I can get a plate number while on the phone with the cops. I know of twice that the cops were looking for the folks at my door for casing houses. I am just an asshole and don't like anyone knocking on my door selling me something. I don't watch commercials for the same reason LOL. Check your local ordinances and you will most likely find some similar law.
