Just had the rudest cold salesman at the door trying to sell me cheaper electricity and when I politely explained that I know I am on the cheapest tariff and his company weren't able to beat the quote 3 months ago when I last checked, he said I was lying and refused to listen to what I was saying. I eventually managed to thank him for his time and said I had to get back to what I was doing and he said "Fine, you're stupid since you're not willing to listen" then as I shut the door I heard him say "stupid bi*ch" so I opened the door again and simply said "Excuse me?" and he replied with "You heard" and walked off.
I think either my head is about to explode or fall off I'm not sure which. I'm normally a fairly calm person but this has really riled me
What a to$$er. Perhaps his previous job was in a bank!:rotfl:
Agree, swanfan.
Allie, that is appalling, he should be reported - did you get any details? He shouldn't be allowed to speak to people like that:mad::mad::mad::mad:

What an idiot Allie, are you going to report him to his company?
You need one of those new free mse door stickers. Thing is as they keep on with trying to sell elec that way presumably some people do switch, enough to make it worthwhile them carrying on.
If someone comes to my door in a suit then I open the door and ask if they are selling electricity, god or new windows and before they reply tell them I don't want any and shut the door.:cool:A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -

Well it said a select few long standing members or something, I expect its a combination of how long you have been here and how many posts you have made (its probably a trade secret like it is for how long before you can posting links).
Or alternatively maybe they've handpicked us lot because we are special - thats certainly my preferred belief :rotfl:
Almost dinner time - homemade curry tonight:D
Haha - you're bonkers woman! Handpicked the Troll Zappers eh?
Can Allie/swanfan see the same screen or is it still emails? It can't be a select few if its posts or length of service, that would be almost the whole site! I'd have thought maybe all at fantastic and delicious levels maybe? i.e. 2500 posts+? I dunno...
We need some of the ones with less posts to tell us when happens when they click abuse triangle....
Enjoy curry tonight :beer:

You should have went after him screaming "rape rape" and seen his reaction..... cheeky little !!!!!!, if he done that at my door to the wife i'd hunt him down and break his legs - and that's only for calling her a name! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Got his name and company name and the time he was round so I think I'll write a wee letter of complaint, want to wait until OH is back as I'm at his and he said he had an !!!!!y salesman the other day too but I forget which company he was from.
I'd actually spied him a few houses up the road with his clipboard in hand but I answered because I thought it was my neighbour bringing back my washing she'd saved from the rain.Those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter

I get a different screen like a feedback form instead of an automatic emailly thingy, if you get me. it's got my name and some tick box type things and then a comments box.
Hope that makes sense!Those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter

I would write a letter of complaint, Allie, seriously, he should not be allowed to speak to people like that
