Stranger at door

Do you answer your door to strangers? I just had one knock on my door. I talked through the window next to the door and they were annoyed that I wouldn't open the door. That door is the only protection I have. I am completely vulnerable once I open it!

I don’t usually do that. It’s usually someone wanting me to buy something and I don’t even want to talk to them. There is a pesticide company that is very aggressive and if you answer the door they won’t just take a no they keep talking. Last time I thought it was someone else and he kept trying to make deals lower and lower including first application for free just to get me to sign a year contract. Next time if it happens I will tell them I am cooking and need to get back to the kitchen before something burns.

@cherokeepatti Ask them instead if their pesticides are as safe for parakeets as the one you are currently using...and challenge him to a test...if he is willing to be sprayed in the face with your herbal pesticide, then you MIGHT consider it.

(Herbal pesticide= pepper spray! 🤣).

@4meAndyou They say they only use natural sprays now. And I don’t want to pay someone to do it for me. I can buy a lot of natural pesticide for what they want for a contract.

@cherokeepatti I know...it was supposed to be a joke...😉

@4meAndyou well that’s exactly what I told the guy. They say they’ll climb on the roof and spray the fireplace chimney too. I sprayed inside the fireplace and that’ll have to do
