Jehovah’s Witnesses

I invited a couple of them in years ago and offered them a choice between coffee or a beer. They left quickly and never darkened my door again. I was all ready for a debate!

White picket fence with a locking gate.

Did they order anything from Amazon?

I’m of an age now that I am starting to tell people what I think. When people come and ring my doorbell trying to sell me a product or service I tell them that I get enough spam emails and robo calls from telemarketers to pester and frustrate me and I don’t need anyone intruding on my privacy in my own home to do the same. I tell them if I want their service, I am smart enough to find them. And, by the way, if I decide I do want their service, I’ll get it from someone who hasn’t pestered me in my own home and invite them kindly to show me the back of their neck. Then close the door.

door to door sales were more popular when people were more isolated and didn’t get out to go shopping except to pick up normal weekly items. Now we have the internet…………..

Odd that they feel they have to hide. If I don’t recognize the person at the door, I just don’t answer.
