Well, what do you do to cold callers?

We get loads here and I normally just pretend to get my mum/dad and then leave to phone for 10 minutes.

cold callers are people who phone you and try to sell you things. They can come to the door but that rarely happens except for jahovus witnesses.

Is cold callers the right term? Thats what i call them

my friend says "I'll go get the owner of the house, I'm just his son" and puts the phone on a table and walks off and leaves it... one guy hung around for half an hour one time, was very funny.

if somebody docks on my door and says

"Want any double glazin' mate"

I say:

"yeah hang on a minute I will just get my mum"

I then come back with a bucket of hot water and say

"Are you sick of people telling you to get a proper job, well you you have, you're hot caller" I then pour the boiling hot water on their head!

So wish I had the guts to do this!
