Ugh...would you feel bad?
I know its not a big deal, but someone just rang my doorbell (no one ever comes to our door)
Asking if we'd be interested in lawn care, and I said oh my husband does it, but I asked him for a flyer...he said he doesn't have one but we could exchange phone numbers....
I said oh, no, I"m sorry...(I just feel weird giving out our home phone number)
So he left but I feel bad, w/the economy so bad, maybe he has no job and is looking for any kind of work....I would have taken a flyer and considered it, I just don't know about giving out our phone number

Re: Ugh...would you feel bad?
you did the right thing. If he had a flyer it would have been a different story. I would not give our my phone number to someone i did not know

Re: Ugh...would you feel bad?
I just feel so bad for people out of work right now, and the economy in general....people who are struggling and are either just making it or not making it

Re: Ugh...would you feel bad?
no. I would have done the same thing.
I might have taken HIS number just to be nice, but I wouldn't give him mine...

Yeah, I should have taken his number, of course I think of this after...I hate when people come to the door
I usually don't answer it, I don't know why I did  Saying no to a face is much harder

Yuuuuuup
that's more safe IMO -- no need to "exhchange" numbers -- why are you gonna call me if I probably won't need your service? I'd rather have his number and then I could give it to others if they need lawn care service

Re: Ugh...would you feel bad?
I wouldn't feel bad at all. You did the right thing, the SAFE thing. The wackos out there WANT you to feel bad for them. 
Something just seems fishy about him, if he was going door-to-door promoting his business WHY wouldn't he have a flyer or a business card, hmmmm??

Yeah, that's what bothered me...he had no card or flyer? He was holding a cup of coffee though...it was really strange

Re: Ugh...would you feel bad?
I'm really private and don't even open the door to people who come to solicit. I hate it, and I feel like if I want something, I'll go out into the world and find it. I would never give a strange guy any information about me--especially if he were standing in my doorway.
