Advent calendar time!

Today, I was out selling Christmas-themed calendars for charity door-to-door. I rang a doorbell and a wild-eyed man appeared at the door, shouted about being "on nights" and that I'd woken him up, called me a "bell end", threw a newspaper at me and slammed the door in my face. FML

Sorry, night worker here; if u were knocking loud enough for me to hear, n long enough to make me get up n answer the door; seriously, think yourself lucky cos I turn into a gorgon with a foul foul mouth when sleep is interrupted.

Well why is it that only Americans have them?

We have guns, you lack toothpaste. There's one I would prefer.

Unless you were being persistent, being an asshole, or didn't read a do not disturb sign, I'm voting FYL. Having did some door to door around my neighborhood when I was in boy scouts selling stuff, you have to know some houses you shouldn't go to, but you would still run across some jerks anyway.

I honestly can't stand people like door to door charity beggars. Yes I know they are doing something good, but unless it's a charity that I have seen do good work and actually received what money is given, like SHARE here in cork city which cares for the elderly, I will not give, I think it's very wrong to be guilt tripped into giving money to charity too, which too many people do today.

So I'll take that as a no for a calendar.

It's ok if you live in a small town and know everybody and you're going door to door, but seriously! You have a better chance standing out by Raley's or Wal mart

u should go to ASDA, ALDI, or The Co-oprative and stand outside the door, but if i was u i'd egg his ****** house
