Don’t come to my door if…

1. You want to save me. I am pretty self-sufficient and if I felt like there was something out there I needed to know or believe I would just go out and learn about it. You coming to my door while I am trying to nap, paint, eat or what ever will just piss me off not “save me”.
2. You are selling magazines. I don’t care any thing about magazines and your long ass introduction as to why you are doing this is a waste of time to me. I hate this one because I feel very torn, is it better to let you finish and not interrupt or should I just stop you now so you can save your energy for some one that gives a shit.
3. If you’re a child that is selling candy or cookies or any of that shit. One if I want candy I will go get it and two I never have any cash on me. So what you are actually doing is setting your self up for disappointment and making me feel like an ass when I say no. Plus I don’t like this because it’s a ploy I mean I don’t come up to your door with a puppy and say he really needs some kibble can you donate.
4. If you want me to do a survey. This one is a new one so I had to think about why I said no and was so annoyed and I think I have it. Surveys are to much like test and I have always done really really bad on test. I honestly didn’t even really listen to what they were saying but they seamed like 2 nice enough kids that were grad students so I know this was part of there education but I just want feeling it so I turned them away. And of course felt bad about it for an hour but honestly if I had done it I then would have resented them and they don’t want that so I think we all win.
If you are my friend you are welcome to come by any time. Even if you are trying to do any of these things because if we are really friends you wont be surprised when I say no.
