           Sitting on the couch, I hear a knock at the door. My parents are out and I'm home alone.

           Rule #1 of being home alone:

            Don't. Answer. The. Door. For. Anyone.

          I try to ignore it, but it only gets louder and more persistent. Finally, I get up and look through the peep hole. I see it's a little old man who looks harmless. I decide to see what he wants and open the door.

         "Yes?" I ask.

         His mouth moves in response, but he is too quiet to hear.

          "Can you speak up please?"

           His voice is raspy and low.....

          "We've been trying to reach you on your car's extended warranty"
