Is it the braces?

The doorbell rang. I open the door. Crap it is a salesman.

He looks at me. I look at him.

He says, "Um, are your parents home?"

What? I say, "No. I live here."

"You look so young you can't own the house you must rent. Do you know your landlords phone number?"

"I don't rent, I own it."

"Oh, how long have you lived here?"

"3 years."

"Oh. I am here because I did your neighbors windows and wanted to do a walk through and give you a quote."

"No thanks. Not interested."

"Do you have central air?"

"I do, but whatever it is I am not interested. Thanks. Goodbye."

I close the door, look at Gwenie, "Is it the braces?"

That's fabulous, you look so young you look like a teenager!!! Quite a rude assumption that you couldn't own the house though!

I agree with Kami...I don't think it's such a bad thing. It just means you look young and beautiful. Quite rude for that guy to make assumptions. I would assume he doesn't get good sales. If someone did that to me I wouldn't want to hear or even find out what he was selling.

Classic. It must totally be the braces! Hey, at least you are mistaken for being younger--not older, right?

AWESOME. Just take it for what it is, a compliment.

I'd give anything to have someone mistake me for a cute young girl, instead of asking if my "caretakers" are at home. :)

What a dick?! Obviously he needs to brush up on his people skills! Not that it isn't fabulous that he thinks you're a teenager ;) quick go buy some wine and see if they card you! I feel sad every time I do now since almost no one cards me anymore.

Thanks Erin, but I don't drink. It was really weird though.
