Stupid job application forms.

I know it's lies, they know I'm going to lie - why don't we just save time, toss a coin and abide by random choice?

The phrase that makes them smile and give up is "I already donate to that one". Similarly, those with collection buckets (and tramps) can be dealt with using the lie "sorry, I don't carry cash".

Or you can say "**** off".

Same with gas/electric people asking who you are with.

Yesterday there was an nPower trailer in Market Place and as I walked by I got that question, I just replied with 'already with you' to which the bloke said' yeah right, of course you are'.

Pfffft! Rude twat.

I wasn't lying either!:icon_roll

If you have the time it is quite a good giggle to get them engaged in a sales pitch and get them promising to beat your current employer, and only at the end reveal you are already with them. I did it to a gas salesman who phoned, it was quite funny to hear him stutter at the end.

 

[beaumontfox]

I was tempted to tell him I was only staying with them til I get my £100 cashback deal(in May) and then i'll change...but didn't have time as I was off to meet my mate for our drive up to Sheepland(via Kirby-in-Ashfield)

 

[Blue Maniac]

Kirby-in-Ashfield

Where's that in relation to Kirkby-in-Ashfield?

I just tell them I live in rented accommodation and the landlord deals with it - end of conversation :icon_lol:

If you have a sign up at your front door saying "no cold callers" they cannot by law knock and annoy you

The energy companies have said they will respect signs like that, but it's not against the law for them to call - unless the law been changed in the last few months.
