They are the rude ones-- invading your privacy without invitation and not taking a hint that they are doing so.

We do get a few, but not to the point of annoyance. I understand it's tough for them, too, and they must receive rejections about 97% of the time. (Just read Tina's suggestion.

And speaking of the no-call list, the last time I mentioned to some caller I was on that list, he laughed and said, "How's that working for you?" Now I hang up the minute they start talking. <br />Today's world makes have to be rude and forget the phone "courtesy" we were taught as children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570512522741409033.post-51667231702998455182014-08-21T20:18:11.084-07:002014-08-21T20:18:11.084-07:00Just speak in Hebrew--they'll leave.

Yes, they are people, but if you tell them to leave you alone and they don't, I think it's okay to be a little curt. :-)Anna Staniszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09316883819771607655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570512522741409033.post-46550886468957656232014-08-19T11:25:15.367-07:002014-08-19T11:25:15.367-07:00To the door-to-door salespeople, I am courteous.
