He said "hello I'm just out of prison and as I've been saying to your neighbours I'd be willing to wash your windows or car"
I said sorry I'm eating dinner and he looked briefly enraged but then moved on next door
My main q is, why on earth start with "I'm just out of prison"? What could that possibly achieve? Just say "hi there I'm doing window washing, interested?" It would be more likely to engender both window washing and robbery oppos.

Report him and get him sent back to prison. That’s gotta be breaking some sort of Covid rules

Hope he finds some cash work. Sounds desperate.

do you know what young man, i believe everyone deserves a second chance. the fact that youre trying to turn your life around by doing some good honest window washing tells me that deep down youre a good soul. now i dont need any windows washed but here's £20.
is what the cvnt was hoping for
its a ploy
pretend youre being honest and some dogooding idiot will start cumming in their pants
or maybe be intimidated
he possibly wasnt even just out of prison
he was proxy enraged that you wouldnt take pity on / believe his invented character
why the fvck did you open the door
why dont you have a ring doorbell
guy came up to me in brick lane
"if im honest with you will you at least hear me out"
"sorry i dont have any change"
he was a bit miffed as well

Perhaps a variation on the old Nottingham Knocker routine?

Apparently it's a known scam.
How weird. If you want to scam folk don't tell them you were bad enough to do time.
Also no one has cash any more ffs.
I worry about ghosts re the ring doorbell.

We often get ex cons calling round here. It's part of a rehabilitation programme. Good for them.

We had a guy turn up and say this. He was just about to join the army(!) apparently after a life of crime.
Oook then.

Same.
Told him I wasn't interested and he called me a 'twot'. Which is probably right, but not because I wouldn't buy shit off him.
Also get a lot of "we've just finished pressure spraying/doing roof repairs/carrying out contract killing for Doris and George around the corner and as we're in the area we can do it for you too".

Say "Fair play, man, we have nothing at the moment but glad to keep you in mind, give me your number?"

This wouldn’t have happened if you’d been chinning cocktails down your local All Bar One.

This thing was big when I was growing up. There used to be gangs went 'down south' and sold dusters, tea towels and all that - they were buying them for pennies and selling them for a pound each or something like that. That's why I never buy this stuff now.
It was called 'knocking'. The 16 year old lads made a hundred a week (a lot of dough then) and the people running it made a fortune. They had several run ins with the police, which is why they kept moving around and didn't do it locally.
