Tonight a very perky young lady rang my doorbell. She said something about making sure I got my green benefit on my energy bill, I seem to have been skipped?
I was right in the middle of playing a game on my iPad and I was cooking supper. So I made her repeat herself and she kept speaking really quickly and throwing out words like "green" and "discount" and saying things "Have you heard about _____?"
My hackles raised because she was talking fast and not making sense, while trying to make it seem that she knew all about something that I should know about.
I asked her who she was and she said was from "Green SomethingSheSaidReallyFast Energy" and they supply energy to my gas company. And then she asked to see my last bill to see if I got the discount.
So from her point of view, it was okay for her to see my Enmax bill, because her company supplies power to Enmax. She said, "Haven't you seen the wind farm near Lethbridge?" and I'm all dazed and I say, "I don't drive down there."
Anyways I refused to show her my bill (with my name on it...) and she said I could check it myself to see if I got the rebate and I asked what she was selling and she said she wasn't selling anything and I had enough.
So I told her that I wasn't showing her anything and I was sure she was trying to sell me something that I didn't want and as I shut the door, she shouted out that she wasn't trying to sell me something!
I briefly wondered if I was turning into the neighbourhood cranky old fart.
And then I started to eat my supper and was cruising around some favourite sites when I saw this headline:
Complaints roll in about door-to-door energy marketers.
I was right to shut my door in her deceptive little face!!!
And now I'm getting sleepy and should probably go to bed. The cats are demanding their nightly bedtime treats.
