People Are Seriously Still Asking That Question?!
I am a stay-at-home mom. I’m trying to make my toddler lunch and then get her down for a nap. My husband is currently working from home since his office hasn’t reopened. Someone knocks on the door. I answer and it’s a solicitor. We do have a “no solicitors” sign.
Solicitor: “My name is [Solicitor] and I’m with [Window Company]—”
I put my hand up slightly and cut him off.
Me: “Hey, sorry. Right now really isn’t a good time. We’re not interested. We don’t own the house and can’t afford to buy new windows.”
I go to shut the door. He looks at me, annoyed.
Solicitor: “Can I speak to the man of the household?”
I just stare at him before slightly chuckling.
Me: “Excuse me? I am perfectly capable of speaking for this household, and I guarantee that I’m being a lot nicer than my husband would be. Now, get off my porch.”
He ended up coming back a few days later, and my husband answered the door. He immediately told him that I had already given an answer and slammed the door in his face.
