I also had one Young Professional Bro come to the door and do the same sort of line. I shut the door in his face.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I got one of those calls and I rent. That's some bad research there.

Oh my god. I only reluctantly answer the door, but I work in direct line of sight of the door, and if it's a nice not-humid day, I keep the front door open to get the breeze through the screen door. Which means that the people who come to the front door can see me and it is THE WORST. If a Real Estate Bro showed up, I would pray for a flamethrower.

Did you know that if you answer the door to Nice Mormon Boys while wearing a velvet skirt and a vampire-themed t-shirt, lock eyes with them, and smile slowly and widely, showing all your teeth, they start stumbling over their words and back away down the stairs?
This is something I learned recently.

That makes me happy, Jilli.
I'm pretty sure my house is still not going to go for as much as I paid for it. It is nice to think that someday it might.

Also, if your father happens to answer with a gun he got for xmas and tells them very politely no thanks and please don't knock again, they never will? (The gun was happenstance - he didn't take it to the door on purpose. There's always a gun for xmas, right hippocampus?)

I want to sell my condo but there's no way I could afford anything better in this neighborhood.

ION, I am a terrible person. My brother's supposed to fly out this morning for a visit and his flight's been canceled and they can't rebook him earlier than tomorrow. And I'm so swamped today that I am feeling 100% relief.

This going to work five days in a row thing, I don't like it.
