Wow, Thanks all, here I was thinking I was the one with the issue of being unprofessional. Glad to see I'm with the majority on this issue.
We got a new phone # when we got our house in 2001, and either the former owner of the # was a flake or it's really close to someone else #, but we would get DOZENS of calls every day and all about BIBLE STUDY and where the Church Meetings have been moved to.
It got so bad we had this on our answering machine:
"Hi, we are not home right now, if you are calling for the Henshaws, or anything relating to Bible Study, or any other Church activity, you have the wrong # please stop calling"
Kept it up for 6 months and then took it down. That last 2 days so I put it back up and just recently took it down and so far so good.
All Business is on my cell, so very few people in the business know my home #, but the few who do all think it's the funniest thing they ever heard and most will leave smart ass messages.
As far as door to Door, my first question to them is why did they assume I’m a Christian? And would they like it if I showed up at their door and preached my beliefs. But 9/10 times I don’t even bother answering the door anymore. We get a lot of kids and other door to door shit, had a guy drive 2 hours just to offer to sell me frozen meat, no idea where/how he found me, but he didn’t bother anyone else from where I could see in my office window.
Few years before we got our house we rented and the district councilman was going door to door and I was watching a really good game and just yelled “not interested” since the door was open and I was a few feet away and he could see me, and he then started to put his fliers on my door, that really pissed me off so I grabbed his stuff and made him come back and take it, he asked If I knew who he was and I said “Yeah, you’re the deaf dumbass who left shit on my door” Wish I had a camera for that look on his face, he was pretty pissed but grabbed it and walked away.
