People Are Strange

In an average day I will knock on 150-170 doors, out of that I'll probably speak to about 50 people for any length of time, and out of them there are always a few gems. Below is a collection of the more bizarre, confusing and just plain stupid interactions there have been with people.

Conversation over intercom trying to get into a block of flats:

Resident: Hello

Me: Hi it's *charity*, just a minute for a quick chat

Resident (after I finish talking): I can't hear you, sorry I'm deaf. Bye son.

Me: Why did you answer the phone then?

*click*

If you don't want to know about charity, please just say so.

Person who already supports the charity: 

"Oh yeah we support you all the time, we do a lot of events and sh*t."

"The council doesn't help me, so I won't help anyone else"

A man comes to the window, a little flustered, and talks to my team leader:

Resident: Sweetie, I've got my egg going cold

TL (very confused): Your egg?

Resident: I've got five minutes to eat this egg then I've got to go

TL (even more confused): Ooohh ok.

It seemed like a very urgently required egg.

Man: We already donate

FR: Oh that's fantastic, how do you do that?

Man: My wife makes marmalade.

"Keep it quick mate, my kid's in the oven."

A person who already supports the charity:

"Ah yes I do you, I do you!"

"Ah! I'm just watching the... cycling!"

*dances with the door for at least five seconds before closing it*

"A pound only stretches so far... and then it tears."

Me (through door): Hi, it's a quick call from *charity*

Woman: I can't open the door because it doesn't open, bye.

Me: How do you leave the house?

Bear in mind that this was a flat with only one door.
