Um, 8:20 pm is TOO LATE to be going door to door ringing people's doorbells, THEN knocking loudly when the doorbell ringing didn't get an immediate response, ESPECIALLY when the house in question's porch light is turned out.

That's lovely that you're offering a free cleaning of a room's worth of carpeting or a piece of furniture, but 1) I'm sure there's a catch, like that I have to pay for one service to get the other one for free, and 2) it's currently 7 degrees with the wind chill factor, our entire street is a giant ice slick that cars have been struggling on all day. GO HOME. Or at least go somewhere warm. Please. And if you need the job that badly, I am really sorry, and I wish you could have come in for a cup of hot tea.

But seriously. NO SALESPEOPLE RINGING MY DOORBELL AFTER 8 PM. NOT COOL.

So much fellow-feeling here. I recently got interrupted three times in one evening - one persistent charity collector (good cause, I couldn't afford the subscription he wanted me to take out at once); one very persistent power company rep trying to get my to switch; and one unbelievably persistent man doing a lengthy survey who wanted to come in and plug in his laptop to take down my answers. After I'd already told him I live alone. Umm, no. Not even if I hadn't been infuriated by the two previous visits. I do sympathise with the lousiness of the job, but good grief.

Yeah, seriously. I can't imagine a man thinking it'd be okay to come into a woman's home like that. Being pushy often gets people really far, though, which I'm sure is how they get pushier and pushier!
