Trrrrrrrring: two people were at my door. I open the door and push out my nose: "Hello?"
My brain is thinking, "Jehovah Witnesses, darn!" My mouth is usually
not too far behind: "I know who you are. Jehovah Witnesses, right?" I
prepare to slam the door and go back to more important stuff.
The lady, who was very black, smiled. The guy, very white, also smiled and then cried out: "Yes, we are here to convert you!"
"Hey, a JW with a sense of humor," I thought, and pricked up my ears and pushed out my nose one inch farther outside.
"Just kidding!" the guy said. "We're from Eneco." That is an energy
supplier and I prepared to retreat, having heard horror stories of very
aggressive salespersons sent by that business. My huge Swiss pocketknife
felt very comforting in my ... pocket.
Took me five minutes to
get fully back to the safety of my home, door closed, because they were
very persistent. Of late, I am rather in a steadfast mood, so I won.
