I am no longer a member and have told them for years not to come here and yet, the other day, while I'm working (I work from home) guess who shows up at the door, again?
No really, guess, I'm sure it's hard to figure out!
Ok, you got it. Two misshies, sisters this time. "We're new in the area and wanted to come by to say hi," blah, blah.
Sorry, been there, done that, may have been caught once, but not stupid enough to do it again.
Even while I was still active (over 12 years ago, true) I made it very, very clear that I expected anyone to make an appointment before showing up at my door! It's so damn rude to just drop in on someone like that.
Honestly, if I hadn't been working, especially since they were sisters and I was too in another life, I probably would have had them come in to chat (have so many interesting things to chat about with them!) except that I was IN THE MIDDLE OF WORK!
I had a ton of stuff I had to get done on a deadline and I was just really annoyed that they were taking time out of my day. I wouldn't have answered the door at all except that I was expecting Fed Ex. They weren't Fed Ex.
So, here is what I told them: "My family is doing great, thank you. No, we are not even remotely interested in getting back into the money grubbing, mind controlling cult that I barely escaped with my sanity; but thank you so much for asking. Don't come back."
They were a little flustered and left very quickly. I almost might have felt bad except that I had too much work to do to think about it.
Was I too harsh? I don't think so. I didn't yell, I was polite and kept a pleasant tone of voice the entire time. I even smiled nicely at them as I told them not to come back.
