Door to door salesman:"Are your parents home?"
I should be flattered just as I should have been flattered being carded at Walmart for an "M" rated video game. I don't mind being carded for alcohol. I mind beinging mistaken for a child. I am 26.

2. Don't open the door for these weiners....
That's what keyholes in doors are for......And don't forgot about caller ID for those pesky telemarketers...

4. We got one a few years ago (selling siding or some such)
and my husband answered that very query: "I don't know. They live in Ohio."

I'm 28 and it's been a few years since I got the "is your mom home," but, yeah, I don't miss that.
