Or better screening for unannounced visitors? The baba landlord where I live insists on manually locking the building entrance rather than forking over money for a proper auto-lock system but inevitably it gets left unlocked and the bible thumpers, NHK, and other solicitors weasel their way in.
I've been visited several times in the past couple years and haven't had much of an issue telling them I own a projector and a PC but no TV/TV tuner. They still try the whole 1-seg hail mary by asking if you have a keitai but I always smile and say "aren't iphones great?!" (no 1-seg) More and more people I know in the states are "cutting the cable" and sticking to online streaming so not hard to imagine that happening here...as well as an increase in physical DVD sales
Matsuki,man, you've gotta learn to play the passive agressive at their own game. Don't even communicate with the cunts. Don't open the door, let the dickheads press the doorbell until they get RSi. Or bang on the door, like happened to me. Just let it slide, put on the headphones and enjoy music. A neighbour of mine went out and told the NHK collector to leave the apartment block as he was a 'meiwaku'.
My neighbour drives trucks for a living and the NHK tard left quickly. I only heard the day after as my blue collar neighbour complained about the bakajin disturbing everybody. He told me if I come across the NHKtard again to tell him to get outta the premises quickly and to call out to everybody if the NHKtard doesn't leave. Ha - there are benefits living in a low income area apart from low rent.
Oh yeah, and if they hang around and wait til you come out to go to work or whatever, barge past em talking in another language. That happened to me earlier this year - told the bloke who was probably NHK to get lost in Korean and then started speaking in French, for some reason studied that well in the first two years of high school. The NHK tard didn't follow me.
