door-to-door ego boosting
So, I had an Avon-type lady come to my door and start a-ringing. Usually I won't answer if I'm not expecting someone, but she was persistent enough for me to go down and check it out. I answer the door and the following ensued:
Lady: Is there a lady of the household?
Ok, good start, she doesn't think I'm a chick. Was the Cheeto-stained wifebeater too much of a giveaway?
Me: No, no lady. Just me.
myMonica wasn't around and I didn't think the woman downstairs would appreciate me pawning off Mary Kay on her.
Lady: Oh.
Disappointment distorting her face.
Lady: Well, do you buy like aftershave or deodorant?
Well, I do buy deodorant. Apparently I'm not wearing enough of it.

Next time, just start asking her questions in return. For example:
"Who told you that lipstick looked good on you?"
"Do you always wear that much eyeshadow?"
"Have you considered a girdle?"

At least she didn't ask you if you wanted to test out the shades of lipstick. A nice orange-red would have set off the cheetos in your wife-beater.
