Was just rather "direct" with a door-to-door salesman for (I believe) Direct Energy who breezily asked for my last gas bill. When I suggested in future the company deal with me by mail, he put on a look of astonishment, and then I all but shoved him out the door. I am surprised at myself and feeling a little queasy. I was definitely rude. But I hate this abuse of people's good nature implicit in hard selling. And most of all I hate bad acting.
I wonder if watching all those Toshiro Mifune movies has had an effect on my character.
