There are two things that could happen when you knock on my door. If you're expected and a friend then you will be welcomed in with open arms to partake of the insanity. If you are not expected, or are a door to door sales person, then in all likelihood you will be greeted like this. Personally I have never understood door to door sales. I already have a door.
The best one that I have had is a call from a company trying to sell me air conditioning...when told that I wasn't interested they asked how I circulated fresh air through my house, to which I replied that I had just had a new system installed. They immediately asked what that new system was, to which I said "windows".
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
They might have thought the app, "windows" on the computer had some automatic air cleaning puff! We don't get door to door here - its all on the phone. Just JW's who I tell that we have too many of them in the family! already! You really will frighten all those title children on Trick or Treat Day!!
Windows! Hehe. Yes, that is the way to go, I think. AC is overrated.
Scary way to be greeted... I'll be sure to let you know I'm coming before popping by.
Yeh thought this was at the top of my feed when my eyes weren't truly focused -
door to door - over the phone - either way can escalate my wrath - uf I want to by something I will google and then either hop in the car or let my fingers do the walking
@ludgate I will definitely not be letting him know - I want to see this up close - I will though be in possession of some alchol so as to gain entry at a later stage
@annied Oh. Fair point. This would definitely be exciting in person... I wonder if he really would do it. Can we scheme and arrive together? Two is better than one, right @graemestevens ?

@ludgate Do that, I'd hate to greet you the wrong way...then again... ;) @annied I detest door to door and telephone sales...why is it always when I'm naked or eating? Or both? @ludgate@annied I have been known to answer the door in "full make up" and in the middle of a shot....scared the bejesus out of the meter reader!
@graemestevens@annied That's it. I'm convinced. We've got to go visit sometime. Mid photo shoot... Hopefully we don't catch you when you have no clothes on and are (pretend?) eating something disgusting. Though the chances are slim.
Annie Lennox has a song called 'Through a Glass Darkly' and I misread the title of your photo as such. For a brief instant, I was pleased! I still like the shot!
@voiceprintz A brief instant is all that I require ;) @ludgate I'm always doing that as well...I'm a right sloth @annied@ludgate "Art"? Now there's a challenge.
@graemestevens twat
Sorry just felt like typing that oh not really sorry
so how would those pushing religion react to you in full make up - bring on the exorcism or conversion plus?
@graemestevens It will most definitely be art. @annied Haha. "Twat". Great way to start a comment. Don't be sorry; he probably deserved it. ;) Exorcism, most definitely.
I'll let you both know next time I'm in that half of the world... :/
@juliedduncan Excellent, pleased to have delivered a laugh ;) @annied@ludgate They always aim for conversion, even when I swear at them. I'd tell them not to call anymore but it's just too much fun :)
Lol, oh yes this is very cool! We don't really have those door to door salesmen here but I hate those phone calls trying to sell me stuff- what's your recipe with that?
@susale Thanks and lucky you - with the phone ones I usually spend some time leading them on a Merry chase, to the point where they think they're on the edge of a huge sale....then I let them down "gently"
well there i was.. minding my own business.. browsing the the trendy pages and what did i see.. this!! now.. let me think who this could possibly be!!!
Hahah.. yeah I'm with you on the door to door sales stuff.. i feel really sorry for them. Last week I had some poor young guy starting to tell me what i needed for my mortgage! Really?
@brigette I'm so predictable...sigh. I haven't had the pleasure of a complete stranger telling me about my financial position yet so that's something to look forward to ;) @gigiflower Not really...but only because they always seem to have bad actors and plot holes by the dozen ;) @tonygig Thank you very much :) @nicoleterheide Thank you kindly :) @shepherdmanswife Actually, slightly disappointed :( @kwind Thanks very much :) @morganmontgomeryphoto Thank you very much, much appreciated :) @neatz Yes...a pane of glass should hold me back ;)
We have the same problem over here. I have several doors. And being a qualified locksmith I can even install them. I do like your brand of air con. I also have this brand installed on my computer.
Oh by the way awesome shot. I shall use it if ever I need to scare the kids. Brilliant.
Very, very funny.....I mean, the bit about the windows!! I like that....I will have to find a use for it....we don't get people trying to sell us stuff, but sometimes we get Jehova's witnesses, you know "have you been saved?" sort of deal....do you have a good answer for that?! I might have to put this picture of yours in the window to scare them off....
@jack4john When I was processing I had that very thought ;)
@aecasey Go on...treat yourself ;)
@maggiemae Halloween is the day when I wander the neighbourhood handing out flowers ;)
@jocasta Thanks very much :)

@rosiekerr Thank you very much, I'm just playing with the glass in the front door...nothing special really ;)
@joemuli Sorry about that...at least you're not knocking on my door ;)

@shepherdmanswife I shall try to live through it ;)

@karlow75 Thanks very much - my father in law was a locksmith so I always have installation for free
