The one that really floors me is the people going door to door selling security systems; or rather free systems when you sign up for the monitoring service. Yeah, person who I have never met, please come in and check out my entire house and then have the code to turn off the system!

You'd be surprised. I only run preset appointments, but I have occasionally gone to the wrong address and made a huge sale. Those are such a thrill, I don't even care about the money. My biggest customer is a door knock of a wrong address because I couldn't read their phone number. I've written countless life insurance policies for that family and they've been on the books for years. I've had people, total strangers I met on a door knock, hand me 10 of their guns to check out, give me their SS#s, banking info and on and on. I'm one of the honest ones, but you'd be amazed.
