Okay. So. We've already established that I'm not my nicest lately, so why is it that everyone and their mother wants to sell me shit on my porch!? This is not a solicitation-friendly zone unless you're selling something I can eat. I don't care that you want to give me a free roll of paper towels or a packet of Clorox wipes, if you're selling it, and it's not covered in chocolate, I don't want it, ESPECIALLY when it is insinuating that I need to use it to CLEAN something. Especially when that something is a vacuum that costs more than one of the Hubs' paychecks.
So, in sum:
If you're not offering chocolate, or to clean my house yourself - and I don't mean a 1x1 square foot of my house, STFU and GIT AWF MUH PORCH.
I went to a job interview once and they wanted me to sell a $2,000 vacuum door to door.
ReplyDelete1. I will NEVER go door to door selling ANYTHING. Let along vacuums. This isn't 1950.
2. I would NEVER tell someone a $2,000 vacuum was "worth the money". EVER.
I hate solicitors, it's always so awkward to tell someone to get off your porch.
ReplyDeleteI want you as my neighbor instead of the two I have who seem to love to be outside and judge my anti-social behavior. Hmph. I want to put up a sign that says "If you knock on my door, I will hide. I'm serious. Leave me alone. I don't want to hide. Thanks".
ReplyDeletePaula: especially when they just don't get the hint! I can only be polite for so long. Hubs just opens the door about three inches and yells "NOT INTERESTED", but I can't do that right out of the gate. I create my own hell sometimes.
ReplyDeleteTonya: Exactly. Quit making me a prisoner of my own home, door-to-door salesmen/women! The ones who drive me the craziest are the hordes of 20-somethings who travel the country "selling magazines" and want to come in and hang out. Um, no.
