It was one of those younger collage age students who go around door to door asking you to buy magazines to fund their trip to some island or something, this chick was trying to get me to buy magazines so she could go to Bermuda. Ok so what do I get out of this, some stupid magazine and she gets to go to Bermuda for a week. I said, I'd love to help you but I can't even afford to buy my daughter Christmas presents this year. I said it was a bad time of year..... I don't understand the whole concept of that....and why can't you just save up your money if you want to go on a trip like the rest of the world does....LOL!

Oh that happened to me once the guy was standing outside a store. Another time a guy came to our door. I don't get it. I always think it's a scam.

We get that a lot because we are a complex and they get a lot of hits for a small place... I always say no. Sorry. No need. Sometimes I am rude if they won't stop... LOL They always come during dinner!!! Rude!

They've been here too, like 2 weeks after I had Layla! I said no, she pressed on, Layla starts crying cause she's hungry, I said nope, gotta go, sorry... and shut the door in her face, lol. Didn't want to be rude but they won't listen when you're polite!

Ok...what is going on here....two young guys just knocked on the door.... they try to be all personable and when you say no they give you lip. I am mad right now, I should have asked where these people are from. I said, oh someone in your little group came by yesterday. And he was like, oh well here, just pick one and you can get a sticker on your door that says you already got one and no one will knock. I said, well I'm sorry, but I don't have even a dollar to give you, he said, oh you don't need cash now, I said, I don't have money, sorry guys. And the one guy being a smarty pants says "oh well what do you do for a living?". I said, excuse me, thats not even any of your busines....and he says, oh just being personable....i said SORRY and closed the door. I have the right mind to call the police for real. I don't need people knocking o my door giving me lip. UGH!

With that said I'm not opening my door anymore this week to people knocking. I now just freaked myself out because here I am thinking that I am home alone with the baby and there are two collage age guys knocking at my door and who is gonna hear them if they knock me down and come in my house and steal things or worse hurt me or the baby. I mean, I don't know these people...and I don't know this area very well. I'm better off leaving the door closed!
