I had one of those guys come by about 2 months ago, but for windows/siding/roof/solar/gutters. I didn’t decline, figured I’d hear the kid out, but he set me up for an appointment the following afternoon.

Second guy was younger than me (I’m 30), and kept using quotes like “I’ve been doing this a long time,” and “In my professional opinion, I really think XYZ.” I also got a lecture on “needs versus wants” because I wasn’t willing to pay $600+/month for the next 17 years but I had the audacity to own a TV. 🙄 He even took a picture of some “carpenter bees” that were nesting above one of my gutters to try and upsell how seriously this work needed to be done.

He did not like the fact I went outside, checked the spot, and came back to inform him that those were, in fact, wasps, not carpenter bees. And he realized the conversation was over when he finally (about 2.5 hours in) asked me what I do for work, and I told him I’m a general contractor and already knew everything he was telling me, I’m just broke af. 🤷‍♀️
