Hardest thing to sell door-to-door... doors.
Hardest thing to sell door-to-door... doors.
I had a job in Oz going door-to-door for Telstra (Ozzy BT) trying to get customers to use more facilities or "win back" those that had switched to a competitor. I sometimes got the odd look before introducing myself so I guess some areas had been visited.
Infact that reminds me of three brothers who I became mates with in a Sydney backpackers. They always got up really early, came home quite late and always wore black trousers and shoes and white shirts and dark ties, all identical. They would carry these black brief cases. Every night about 20 mins after they came in they would all disappear somewhere. All very sinister and I was convinced that they were Mormons or some other door-to-door preachers.
Turns out they were going out after work for a well earned Jamaican cigarette and that they were only trying to make a living as salesmen. Pissed themselves laughing when I told them I thought they were Mormons.

Can we start an atheist door to door movement?
*Knock knock*
"Hello?"
"Sir, do you believe in God?"
"Erm, yes, I do, why? (getting angry knowing where this is going)"
"BECAUSE YOU'RE WRONG, SUCKA!"
"(Surprised)..."
Not sure how it would unfold from there, but we should find out.
One for the atheists among you to ponder, anyway!
I think that going around knocking on people's doors at inconvenient times is as bad as persuading them to join a religion.
Thats to say, religion and atheism are choices NO ONE should have the right dangle in front of people's faces; if you haven't heard of the religion in the first place then obviously its must be a bit suckier than the usual, LOL!
