First of all, I'm an extremely hard sell for ANYTHING that you bug me in my own home for- it's even worse than telemarketers who call during dinnertime- I HATE solicitors (unless you're a girl scout selling me cookies...but they don't do that anymore in this freak-o world we live in- that's a whole other blog topic). If there's something that I really "can't live without" then I think I will go do my own research and get it myself. Trust me, I'm not sitting at home praying for you to come to my house and sell me raw beef from the meat locker on the back of your rusted out Isuzu pickup. Neither do I care to listen to you tell me how disgusting my mattress is while you try to sell me a Kirby- and NO, I'd rather die than buy a crappy home security system from an annoying punk like you.Secondly, assuming that I'm a teenager doesn't exactly get you any brownie points-- I'm almost 25 with two kids. The last time I was given the kids menu at the restaurant was at least 7 years ago (that hostess got the scuzz of her lifetime). So before I leave to go and make one of those lame "no solicitors" signs for my front porch, I want to say: If you want to sell me something door to door- make sure that when I answer it, you don't say, "are your parents home?"

Don't worry Darc, I get that too. I'm 25 with 2 kids and people look at me like I'm a teenage mother. Not too long ago I was asked what grade I'd be going into for the next school year. Um, yeah, I've been out of high school for 7 yrs. Thanks. But hey, when we're 50 maybe we'll look 30. =)
Ugh, I totally agree. I got one once that asked me what I did for a living... "Are you a doctor?" Hello, we lived in Government housing!!! And then he said (he was selling magazine subscribtions), "I bet if you bought Maxim for your husband, he'd totally read it in the bathroom!" That's when the door gets slammed.
haha- yeah this guy was real smart- as soon as he saw the pist look on my face he took his sunglasses off and said "oh...YOU'RE the lady of the house, huh?" and I'm all "yeeaah...but we don't need anything, thanks." and slammed the door :)
That is too funny. We get those stupid home sequrity systems guys that just go off there mission, and they are so annoying. I wasn't too nice either. I like your sign on your door. I want one!
Your funny- but really you should be FLATTERED- you look young- that is awesome. Enjoy it.
I love it. Want one too
