Ding Dong

Someone keeps ringing my doorbell today. I don't know if it's the same person, or three different people. It's annoying whoever it is.

I generally don't answer the door during the day, because I figure that if I worked outside the house I wouldn't be here to answer it so why should I answer it just because I happen to be here. If I'm expecting a courier or something, then that is different, but just random folks at the door can come back some other time. Chances are they are selling something or collecting donations anyway.

The first ring today was at 9am sharp. Well, I get up at about 8:59 and drag my butt into my office with bedhead and nightie so I'm definitely not answering. The next ring came around 1pm...and I was dressed but was actually in the garage wiping down the fridge we are selling so I wasn't going to drop what I was doing. That person actually had the nerve to ring the bell three freaking times before they finally gave up. The third time was just a few minutes ago, and again I'm working so too bad for them.

I peeked out the window the first time and last time and there were no cars or delivery trucks out front so I can only imagine it was someone going door-to-door.

I checked the front porch after the triple-ringer and found a piece of paper that looked like it had been folded and tried to prop up on the door handle. It was just a hand-written scrap with a woman's name, phone number, the word "cleaner" and a note stating she has an opening tomorrow morning.

I wonder if she has the wrong address and had an appointment to clean someone's house, and thinks she's been ditched or something?
