Okay, so the first part of that last post doesn't make that much sense. It is because there was a post before it that I decided to ultimately delete. I have my reasons.
Anyway, it is that time of year again. Girl Scout cookie season. Now, I was a girl scout, but I never wanted to sell cookies. In fact, I've never had a girl scout cookie. Nope. I don't feel the need to splurge on cookies that only come out for a limited time when I have all the ingredients for cookies in my pantry. Yep, so after the 4th doorbell ring today from girl scouts (and some of them I'm pretty sure aren't from this neighborhood) I decided to make my own. Besides, I like eating the dough just as much as the baked cookies.
I digress.
You would think that after a few minutes of sitting on the doorstep and no one coming to the door, you would move on to the next house. But not this set of three girls. These three girls plus two mothers were on my doorstep ringing the doorbell and knocking for at least 5 minutes. I stepped by the door to listen to their conversation and it was funny to say the least. Girl 1 started off by humming a tune, then knocking while Girl 2 was fiddling with papers and ringing the doorbell. Girl 3 and the mothers were down a few steps and after the first few minutes Girl 3 said that they should go but Girl 1 and 2 both replied with "I know they're in there! The cars are in the driveway. No one can say no to these cookies." And that is when I opened the door and said "Actually, very easily. No, I don't want any cookies. Now stop ringing my doorbell." As I was closing the door I took a look at the mothers and I couldn't tell who was trying to give me the worst dirty look; the girls or the mothers. I just had to laugh when I closed the door.
But now I'm sitting here eating soup and cookies while the cats are chasing each other. After the day I had, this makes it a bit better.

Haha! You're hilarious, friend! That's a funny conversation you overheard out there. I can totally see you doing this.
Though I must say, those thin mints do hit the spot.
Oh my gosh, hahahaha! :D
Obviously just not opening the door is a perfectly cordial indication that you don't want to be bothered. These women are doing the girls no good service by teaching them to ignore that convention. There are lots of salespeople in my industry who act like these girls, and it's to their detriment.
