Default Door knockers selling stuff

Do you get many round your way? we always seem to get "dave" or "simon" trying to sell random shit from a rucksack, because hes "just done a course in college and trying scrape together some money"

Then today(well just now actually) sat down to eat and there was a real heavy handed knock at the door, i thought they were trying to knock the bloody door down it was that hard followed by a ring of the bell, then yet another few bashes, then just as i opened the door another ring of the bell all of that was within 20seconds i thought it was an emergency etc

So i opened the door and its a deaf man trying to sell a4 sized drawings at £12/15 and 20.

They were great drawings to be fair but door knockers piss me right off, i dont care if your saving for another left arm, i wont buy any shit thats almost thrown in my face at tea time.

Fairplay to them though, they are a pain in the arse, especially when they always seem to knock when your busy
