stoutfellowOne of the less-good things about being at home during the day is that you're there when the door-to-door people come by. They all seem to read from the same script: "We're doing X for your neighbors, you really ought to let us do X for you, we're taking $Y off, buy now!"
No. You come to my door and offer me a service I have not asked for, you cannot expect me to jump up and down with joy and give you money for this unrequested service.
"But there are lots of ants and spiders outside your house!"
"Yeah, so? That's where they're supposed to be. Go away."
"But... but... $100 off!"
"Go away."
And they're usually fresh-faced kids, who really seem to believe in their product, and can't understand why anyone would refuse it.
BTW: Spiders, for the most part, are our friends. I don't always appreciate them inside the house, but outside? Let 'em do their job!
Sheesh.
