Yep when they sign a contract they can make up to 150 on that contract

On that note if anyone wants to save money on their hydro just send me a PM...I'll need to see your bill, it's a government thing.

[Kybosh]

These guys came to my door a few weeks. Greaseball asked to see my energy and utility bills and I told him in almost exact words "#### off". Door to door people grind my gears.

Isn't there a federal or provincial law for a cooling off period for contracts signed in a door-to-door visit?

10 days for electricity, apparently. Though that link seems 10-11 years out of date.

Nah, still seems current. Page 9 of the pdf file above, sec 10(i)(A)(ix)

Unless I'm expecting someone, I don't answer my door. Even if I'm expecting someone, if I look in the peephole and it's not the person I'm expecting, I don't answer it.

Same with the phone, unless I know who's calling, I don't answer.

If it's important, they'll leave a note/message.

the reason door to door energy salepeople ask to see the bill is so they can get the site ids from them and then even if you don't sign up they can try to get them until you complain

I had Just energy around our area a few weeks ago and told the girl off.

Last night I had the direct energy guy come and try to switch us back...

I'll be sticking with my Enmax locked in rate thanks.!

[NuclearPizzaMan]

I love these guys. It gives me the opportunity to be rude to someone face to face, and not even feel bad about it!

[CaptainCrunch]

I guess they came around my parents place and the guy convinced my mom that he needed to see her bill to make sure she wasn't being overcharged and my mom went to get the bill. Fortunately my old man over heard it and threatened to jam a rake handle up his $$$ and plant him in the yard to scare off the crows if he ever came around again.

Sometimes my old man is way to creative with his threats.

I like your old man, CC.

Years ago, my tiny gran chased some door to door salespeople all the way down their considerably long driveway, with a broom, yelling at them. They never came back. Can't imagine why.

We haven't had any of these guys by the house in ages. I'm not complaining. But some ####### sticks his foot in my door after I've refused the product? He'll pull back a bloody stump. I'll be slamming that door as hard as I can.

[CaptainCrunch]

I remember hanging out at a buddies house who was diabetic, he saw the Jehovah's coming, ran up stairs and jammed a needle in his arm and then answered the door with a blurred "Hey guys you want to come in and party with us"

I don't think they've ever come back.

Yeah, the funny thing is my dad is all of 5'6 150 pounds (somehow I think someone cheated cause I'm 6 ft and over 200 pounds but whatever) but he's got the fierce glare and angry face thing down to a science and put the fear of god into all of my sisters boyfriends.

[Minnie]

My gran was a tiny little woman. I don't think she was even 5 feet. If she ever weighed more than 100 pounds, I'd be shocked to find out about it (aside from when she was pregnant). She was also a very prim and proper Christian woman (Assemblies of God) who rarely raised her voice and was not given to fits of pique. So it was a great show to watch, when she got irate with those fools.

[GoinAllTheWay]

They are out again. Had some dips**t knock on my door last night. He introduced himself and I looked at his "Just energy" badge and said you were formerly Alberta Energy and Saving LP and he said "No, WE bought them as they weren't doing very well." Told him I wasn't surprised about that at all and under no cirumstances would he be able to convince me to sign with them. He had the "Uhhhh, ok" look and bascially closed the door on him. This is in Braeside.

Haha - Me too.

[Hevishot]

Im still shocked that people answer their front doors to strangers. Unless its the pizza guy or somebody I know that is supposed to be coming over I will not open the door. I had a guy ring the bell while I was sitting on the couch. I could see him and he could see me,he rang a couple more times and than left. All I had to do was turn the TV up so the doorbell sound would not bug me.

I wonder why you have this approach.

I am betting it has something to do with people coming to his door and him not knowing them and/or not wanting to talk to them.

[Buff]

Direct Energy came to my door while I was home for lunch a few days ago. I don't know what came over me but I opened the door and as soon as I saw the logo on his shirt I said, "No, thanks" and slammed the door shut.

I think I'm just tired of door to door sales and don't want to politely listen to what they have to say, when I know I'll just politely say "no thanks", only to have to repeat the "no thanks" a couple more times.

[PsYcNeT]

I just do what I do with Jehovas or Mormons.

Tap the mezuzah attached to the door frame and say "No thank you, I'm Jewish." and close the door.
