Had an awkward situation the other day at Home Depot. I was wandering around looking for whatever, and a guy in a print shirt with a nametag offered to help. Turns out he was there selling solar. “No, if I decide to get solar I have a friend who can help me out.” Somehow kept talking to him, even though I was done, and ended up agreeing to take a brochure. But then he started filling out a response card, and got to the “…is tonight good for someone to come out and talk to you?”

No. No one is going to visit my house. Not tonight, not ever. And give me back that card that somehow you managed to get my email address and phone number.

Honestly I’m not sure how it happened — I was distracted by other items on my shopping list. When he asked for my email I should have told him “gopoundsand@fyou.org”, but my guard was down.
