Broken Arrow says: Bankers, recruitment consultants, politicians. What professions do you hate and why?

Not really a profession, they're volunteers
The people who get me the most are the ones who do recruitment for the Jehovah Witness Church. I hold nothing against their religion except that they violate my "I don't tell you why I think you're a twat for what you believe in, you don't pester me about what I don't believe in" policy. For those who've never had the pleasure, they're one of many Protestant groups that started in the US that require their followers to do missionary work. For most of these churches, missionary work entails going to Africa or Asia or somewhere, helping out the locals a little and trying to convert them. For this group, it means knocking on my door 8AM of a Saturday morning and telling me why I'm going to hell, and how joining them and giving lots of money to their church might help me not go to hell. They don't even give you the typical, "join us and it's a sure thing," no. I've been told heaven only has so much space, and places there are at a premium, so only the best get in.
They used to come round all the time, but I started telling them I was part of a bisexual commune that worshipped Charles Darwin, and I've not seen them for a couple years. And on the off chance that there are some members of the church browsing b3ta (this is really probably quite the odd chance), I've got nothing against your church, I just don't want people waking me up asking me to join. Leave me be on my days off, or if you must come round, make at a reasonable hour. After noon, I don't really care if you waste 30 minutes of my time.

Sorry for being pedantic
('cos they really get on my tits as well)
...but JWs aren't Protestant. They're non-trinitarian, among various other things and are best described as a cult - the tireless evangelism thing is based on a pyramid sales -style doctrine where the more people you convert to your religion, the better your place in heaven.
