Yes, come in...
The best I ever heard was a workmate who was sick and tired of double glazing tele sales pestering him. So he aggreed to a couple of reps appointments which went ahead as follows...
First rep was met by a raving looney who went into a complete rage, saying he'd removed his rotten wooden windows and waited in all yesterday for the fitting team who never showed up. So he's only just put them all back in again and continues to pretend to throw a fit. The rep just backed away whilst apologising.
Second rep was led into the house and ushered into a very cramped utility room. Where he was asked to measure-up and quote for the washing machine window in all seriousnous. How he kept a straight face I'll never know?
They still tickle me and I believe he's never been troubled since.
