Slightly long post warning but there is an amusing video link at the bottom.
A while back we had a guy come round asking if we wanted our windows cleaned. I thought sure, why not. £20 later and he had done what I'd rate as a 5 out of 10 job. He asked me if I wanted them done next month to which I responded "err, no thanks".
So, the next month comes around and he's knocking at my door. I told him I wasn't interested to which he responded that he told me he would be around and that I had agreed a contract with him. Hmm. I told him I wasn't interested so he walked off muttering. Another few weeks goes by and he knocks on my doorbell at 21:40 asking if I can "lend a couple of quid to pay the phone bill". After I said no he said "I can do your gardening for a fiver. Your windows will need doing as there is 10ft (!!!) of snow on the way. When can I start?" His eyes were all over the place so assume he was on something.
Shortly after that his boss came round to "collect". I explained the situation to him and his boss was not happy. Basically said he was going to sack him in the morning as other customers had said he was being gobby with them.
So, I thought nothing of it until I explain this and what the window cleaner looks like to Jane's brother. He starts laughing and shows me this video:

He's not been around for the last 4 months so he may have got the message.
