Door To Door Salespeople Ignore Prohibition
Twice in the last week my wife and I have had to deal with errant door to door salespeople disturbing us right before mealtime.

Yesterday's offender was particularly annoying as I had been working all day, was tired and relaxing in my lazyboy with a cup of tea when he began shouting for attention whilst standing outside our backdoor. Sorry Trustpower (in this instance) but your team are failing to show good manners and cultural sensitivity, instead exhibiting either an ignorance of or a willful flouting of the law. Of course we forgive them but just wish they were better trained to respect our desire not to be disturbed by people selling things we don't want.
