Why oh why? The internal anxiety when someone knocks on the door and you know that they are going to trying sell you something, you don't want to buy anything, but they've probably had an horrendous day being constantly ignored at every house.
Ahhhhh, I don't want to be rude when he has obviously seen me in my house but I was rally enjoying my laptop time. It's not like I can constantly hide with in my home from the tiniest possibility of someone coming to the door.
They always have a sob story too, I feel bad for them and a part of me I suppose wants to help but there are far less well of people to help for whom it would probably mean more to. We even have a sign on our door saying that we don't buy things on the door step.
So I am going to come up with some things I can do when I am in this situation again:
1) wish them a lovely day and say I don't buy on the doorstep
2) It could always be a good opportunity to try out my acting and pretend I was someone I'm not
3) pretend I've got to go out or I really need the toilet or I waiting for a very important phone call
Why do I experience such social awkwardness? Ahhhh
Please share your own examples in the comments
