Today I had just gotten out of the shower when someone rang my doorbell. I looked at the camera thing and it was some guy I didn't know. I yelled out "wait just a minute!" (even though I know he didn't really understand) and started getting dressed. So anyways, when I was half dressed he opened the door himself. I was kind of annoyed but then I realized he may have thought I was telling him to come in.

Anyways, a woman appeared next to him holding a large metal can with a rubber tube attached to it. They seemed to be from building management and had just been next door, doing something with the metal can. It smelled like paint in the hallway. They started talking to me in Korean, and I just shook my head and said "mo-la-yo", and they eventually went away.

So, what was in the metal can and why did they want to come in? None of the walls are painted (it's wallpapered) so I don't think they wanted to paint, but I really had no idea what was going on at all.

hmmm

Sounds like the friendly neighbourhood bong club recruiting for members again. Don't worry about it. They were offering you a toke of hanguk head. Just say no if it ain't yer thang. They're a pretty chirpy bunch, so if they come-a-callin' again & ya wanna get rid of 'em, zap 'em with some death metal or somethin' like that. When they're around, do not play trot music whatever ya do

Spraying for roaches prolly.

ohh what you could have done was not get dressed and just stood there with your unit hanging out , that would have them running and not coming back hahahahaaa

I basically never answer my door. Most of the time it's some moron who slaps a take out food ad on my door and rings the door bell so I'll get his helpful ad right away. Another problem is there's a B building and an A building. I live in B. I think the guy in the same apartment as me but A version runs a business. I'm always getting deliveries for A.

Haha, yeah, she came to my door too. Was she wearing a white 'lab coat' and a white mask over her nose and mouth? I've seen the same lady out dousing the apartment dumpster and vegetable/meat/other organics 'recycling' bin so I knew what she had in mind; kill kill kill. Not in my hovel you don't. Fine ecosystem underway, thanks, do not disturb, and off she went to kill elsewhere. Freak.

if i don't know them, i don't open the door. simple as.

It's a kerosene enema... not too bad really... just stings a bit at first.

(They'd heard you flush your toilet paper)


Just being helpful.

Sex woman? They make house calls.

[marista99]

I can't belive I didn't think of that--they were almost definitely spraying for bugs. The weird thing was the woman was in a nice outfit like you'd wear to an office, she didn't look like a maintenance person....The dude had a big ring of keys, so they were certainly building management people, but whatever...I like all the other ideas...neighborhood bong patrol? sex service? mormons? I just hope that those are not all the same person. This town is so small it wouldn't surprise me.

I would have been happy to see the Mormons, but seeing as these would have been Korean Mormons, they would have been confused as to why I was giving them such a warm reception, unless they spoke English that is

Yeah... They come to my door every month. They are pest exterminators. Just say "no."

[Gollum]

They were the bug people.

A man or woman will also come around every 3 months or so and check your gas line.

Don't say no to them. They are persistent, and it's smart to let them check. Takes a quick minute.
