Coming up to a strange house NEEDS to be a cautious dance involving photos of Picture ID sent to someone and a very brief statement of your business. In a place with so many guns and shysters, we don’t have time to open the door for people selling vacuums or invisible friends. And by the time you strike out at one house and try another, everyone on the block chat group needs to know what you’re selling.
Today, two strangers knocked on my door. They were there to spread some bullshit or another, didn’t really care. Told them to go away, which they did.
I really hope that this situation is the norm, and that the news headline is the outlier. But at this point I’m not sure.
It is. Situations like yours don’t make the news.
