I don't get it. This just happened..... [View All]

Out here on the west coast, it's pushing 7pm and dark. I'm home alone with the kids, when the doorbell rings. The outside lights are off and we're not expecting anyone, so the kids wisely wait for me to come open the door. When I do, it's some strange man I've never seen before, with a clipboard and an overly eager face, obviously there to either ask for money, get me to buy something, or both. Probably both.

Now, under normal circumstances, I'm understanding of people who do these sorts of jobs, so I try to be nice, and move them along as quickly as possible. I immediately tell the guy I'm in the middle of the kids' bedtime routine and now is not a good time. Mind you, it's PITCH BLACK outside. The guy smiles and asks if it's OK if he comes back in an hour. :wtf: What??!! I say, "NO, it's not and I'm NOT interested." To his credit, he was very polite and thanked me for my time, before I shut the door firmly in his face.

Jeez.....what the hell kind of person thinks its appropriate to go selling door to door in the pitch dark?? Furthermore, what sort of employer would affirm this sort of behavior? :shrug:

Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?? :crazy:
