*There’s a knock on my door*
Me (opens it): Hi.
Solicitor: Hello, do you have a few minutes to spare?
Me: Sorry, I’m tired. I work late (lie... well sometimes ) and wasn’t very happy when I was woken up last time.
Solicitor: Oh, well, with our offer you may not have to work again.
Me (awkwardly): Then why are you at my door working?
Solicitor (foolish smile falters, looks slightly dumbfounded): Okay, we will try tomorrow.
Me: I’m not interested. But thank you.
Solicitor: We can come back tomorrow.
Me: Please don’t.
Solicitor: Perhaps you will change your mind tomorrow.
Me (curtly): Have a good day.
To guys who solicit door-to-door for a living: Don’t be this person!
