Assumptions

By Anonymous - 13/06/2020 08:08

Today, a salesman came to the door and I assumed the guy was peddling solar stuff. Before the poor guy had a chance to say anything, I blurted out, "We don't need any, we only spend $80 on electricity in the summer." He pointed to his shirt and replied, "I'm an exterminator." I then tried to awkwardly apologize. FML

You know what happens when you ASSUME someone is selling solar: You make an ASS out of U, ME and the renewable energy industry!

Pretty sure solar energy can be used at any time of the year. Even a brief few minutes of exposure to sunlight helps, and what you don't use gets stored, which is also how you can use solar power when it's dark/overcast. Also, since he was an exterminator, weren't you expecting him?

Not necessarily. I've had exterminator reps knock on my door because someone else in the neighborhood happened to be using their services. Personally, I will not hire people that harass my neighbors like that.

Be glad he’s not still a terminator!

Why would you assume he was selling solar stuff? That seems rather random.
