Roofers (a rant).

First, who answers calls from numbers then don’t recognize these days? Just let it go to voicemail or your answering machine or whatever.

Exactly! I was just having this same conversation with the room-temperature IQ neighbors on Next Door that were ranting about some guy going door to door to sell security systems that was a little pushy. My response:

"People still answer their door or phone for unknown callers in 2018?"

Why would you? Expecting a lottery winning notification or something? Guess what... they'll leave a voice mail if you won millions.

Other than being so lonely and hard up for human interaction I haven't the foggiest idea why anyone would answer their door to a stranger. Nothing good will come of that transaction and you're opening yourself up to a potential world of problems.

If nobody answered their door to solicitors or phone to unknown numbers the solicitor would become extinct the next day. Do your part.

Alas, some of us have to answer the phone, regardless. Business. If it goes to voice mail, they'll take heir business elsewhere.

I sure miss my Rottie.

I sure miss my Rottie.

I’d offer to let Calvin come visit, but he’d be no help. Every day, he waits for the mailman. Then he ferociously charges the porch gate, spits a ball through the gate onto the sidewalk, and waits for the mailman to throw it back and then lean over the gate to give him a hug. Solicitors will sometimes see him and pass on by, but those who are dog-savvy, they have his number.

Riding in the same boat.
