Haha! I love it, OP. Whenever someone like a telemarketer tells me they can save me money, I just baldly say, “I’m not interested in saving money.” They usually sputter and don’t know how to respond.

Now that would have been a cool story.

I had a college-aged guy come to the door and say "These windows look like they're a hundred years old. We can price new vinyl windows for you and save on your energy bill"
This is a Craftsman house with art deco stained glass windows in wood frames. I said "Actually I think I'm happy with these." He didn't have an answer.

This! What a missed opportunity!

A better salesman would have pivoted to offer a removal service.

I thought you were going to say that you and your partner were naked and being intimate in the backyard and he came to cut the grass.

That’s actually pretty funny, OP.

I had one of those spammers text me yesterday saying "Hi Alice, want to meet for coffee tomorrow" and I rage texted back a long message about how they would feel better about themselves if they just made an honest living and stopped scamming senior citizens and other likely targets.

They called to try and sell me a shrub care package. I couldn't hold back and told him I actually hate all the shrubs he's talking about and if they die, all the better because I can start over. I thanked him for calling and wished him a good day.

There was a long pause and he said, "So you don't care about those shrubs at all?" Nope, nope I don't.
