Sorry folks but I'm not your run of the mill person. Just call me and set up an appointment for the next day. Sure! Or just show up. Ah, no! My mind and body don't work that way I have to have several days to get used to the fact that I am going to have someone who barely knows me come into my home and see how I live. First off, I have social anxiety. I have to calm myself and work toward a home visit. Second of all is the embarrassing fact that I live in poverty. At its best my home is in a shambles on a good day. (No, I'm not a hoarder)
I had a salesman come here a couple weeks ago. Just showed up. My sweet and obliging daughter just showed him the way to my room. I was rather rude to him. I told him I needed have an appointment set WHEN IT'S CONVENIENT FOR ME. Get it!
I'm just not your usual social butterfly. Since about the time of COVID I have become worse about interacting and being around people. I can't handle crowds and I am not one to put up with bad service, spoiled kids, people who think they own the world, etc. It seems to be getting worse, not better. I'd just rather stay home. If I can't buy it online, I probably don't want it that bad. And, if they are coming here, they'd better plan ahead. Don't infringe on me and I won't let my scorpion out of the bag.

I was never a people person and embrace the hermit lifestyle.

I recently watched a YT video about people who were loners. It was very eye opening.

I don’t have social anxiety, but I don’t like unsolicited salesmen turning up at my door and disturbing me. Fortunately I have a door camera, so I can vet any pedlars and the like. Ugly looking blokes always get turned away, but cute chicks are given a chance to impress me. Sadly it’s a long time since the latter appeared at my door. Has word got around I wonder? Hmmm
