Was I wrong to say charity sales woman could have been a model?
Okay, so normally I never answer the door to people I don't know or am not expecting.
Today I was expecting a parcel pick-up, so when a young lady rang the doorbell and looked like she was the courier I answered the door. She said she was collecting on behalf of an Irish charity and could I donate on a regular basis. I said, no because I was skint.:hee: I then went on to say I could tell she was Irish because she was a good-looking lady and, indeed, she could have been a model. She had striking features. :nono: I wouldn't normally talk like that, what with today and everyone being offended by the slightest thing. :fist: But she rolled her eyes and walked off.:joker::joker::joker: In my dad's day, ladies would acknowledge a compliment with a smile. Nowadays, paying a compliment to a lady means you're a pervert and offensive.:joker::joker::hehe: |
i think i am correct in saying you have just committed a hate crime
:shocked: |

Do you need to be that Forward? |
"Wrong"...?
:shrug: I would say it's ****ing creepy but I know a lot of older fellers think it's fine. That said, an old chap in his 90's once told me I "could have been a star on the silver screen" and I was quite flattered :flutter:. He also then turned to my (at the time) boss and said "......you could maybe have been an extra or something HEH HEH HEH" and walked off, which was heard by all the regulars and he never quite lived it down :joker:. |
i think it has to be in the right setting, or you need to know the person really well :laugh:
I just dont answer the door, i find that much more appealing |
You should have told her to cheer up and smile for you, that would make things right :eyes:

I know you meant it as a compliment, I suppose its not much different to the agency scouts who approach people in the street and try and sign them up :laugh: its a bit of a random thing to sat though

I wouldn't say anything like that nowadays tbh lol. I did see a strikingly beautiful woman in Sainsbury's the other day. It kind of knocked me back, she could tell too, but she was professional when serving me, she just kinda smiled and carried on scanning my food. It was quite awkward actually, sometimes we do see people we are instantly attracted to. But yeah, i wouldn't say anything like that in future.

What makes her think someone at home during the day can afford to give anything away? Maybe she has the brains of a model, if nothing else.

It all depends, but knocking on strangers doors asking for donations is opening a can of worms in my opinion.
I went to advertise a car once in auto trader and ended up going for a drink across the road with two girls from the office For Some people it comes easy. |

And it was an off-the-cuff comment. I've done the same to guys. Nothing sexual in it. :hee: But as I said it was a compliment. You had to see her. I was thinking why is she doing this job? :shrug: |
