Yes,I hated bothering people and hoped no one would answer. I wonder if they noticed the look of disappointment on both our faces when they opened the door.
And I didn't go out on holidays either.
The last few times I went out in service was during the special tract work. And everyone worked alone,which was fine by me. I barely tapped on the door and just left the tract under their welcome mat or scrunched up in their screen door.
