The other day, I’m sitting in front of the TV, minding my own business, when I hear a knock at the door. Shocking because pretty much everybody I know that might even consider paying me a visit is gainfully employed and not hanging around my neighborhood in the middle of the afternoon. Against my better judgment, I decided to answer it because it was an opportunity for human contact.
It was a salesman. A really good salesman, it turns out. He was selling some sort of earth-friendly all-purpose cleaner. He just needed a few seconds of my time to show me how great this stuff worked. What else did I have to do? He showed me how it can clean windows, streak free, and prevent future smudges and fingerprints. He showed me how easily it will clean the tile grout in my entryway. He showed me how it will strip the dirt off the siding of the house with just a wipe. He showed me how it can even remove rust stains from my concrete driveway. Pretty amazing stuff!
So now, my front window has a clean spot. And the tile grout in the entryway has a clean spot. And the siding on the porch has a clean spot. And the rust spot on the driveway is partially cleaned away. Which means I need to clean the rest of the front window, the entryway tile grout, the siding on the porch (and probably the rest of the house, once that’s clean), and the rust spot(s) on the driveway.
Next time I’m out, I’m buying a “No Soliciting” sign.
