(90,630 posts)...come calling: Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and Hasidic Jews. I really don't want any fruitless discussions, and they are all so earnest I hate to be rude.
But back in college I learned that allowing anything past "Good morning" meant I was going to be late for work, so I settled on simultaneously shutting the door and saying "Go in peace."
With the Hasids I had to allow a little more conversation because it was my husband's soul they were after, not mine, and they had known my late father in law. I promised to pass along the message. Ultimately we moved away, though.
Strangers who tell me to "have a blessed day" hear "Blessed Be" in return, and I do hope someday they figure out they've just gotten a Pagan/Wiccan blessing for their troubles. Bwahaha.
