Why did the lady kick me out of her house?
I am a part-time Sales Rep, and I was promoting some products at a lady’s house. The lady was 90 years old. At the beginning of my demo, she got up, looked out her window, and said: “He is coming. I can’t be seen with you. You are going to have to leave my house”.
I thought maybe it was a racial issue (I am a South Asian minority). However, the lady was black, and I think she was Islamic and affiliated with an Islamic Church.
Why did she kick me out of her house?
Did it have something to do with her religion? Did she kick me out of her house because of racial reasons?
I even had asked her before I left her house. I said: “Are you kicking me out because of the color of my skin?”. She made some strange “tick-like” behavior with her head, and responded: “Yeah, your going to have to leave”. Her response sounded kind of like as if she was thinking about something else, while responding.
But, I don’t think it could of been a racial reason, because she had let me in her house, and even when I left, she said bye to me nicely and stuff. I don’t know…….given the lady’s age and other factors, the whole appointment with her was awkward, even though she did seem like a NICE lady.
I had this appointment with her back on February 15th.
I was thinking of calling this lady on the phone today, and saying to her: “Hi, i had an appointment several weeks ago with you. I was just curious of why u had kicked me out of your house so early during my demo-presentation of the products i was selling. Was it because of the color of my skin?”. However, that would be a strange thing to do, since the appointment was several weeks ago, and the lady is 90 years old, so she probably doesn’t remember or is aware of what happened that day.
And she said that she was the only one who lived in that house.
She gave me her secretary’s phone number during the beginning of my demo-presentation (before she had asked me to leave), which ended up not even being her secretary, but just her friend (I found that out, after calling the secretary and speaking with her. She told me that she was not her secretary, but just her friend). Okay.
By the way, I am a 24 year old male (just to let you know). Okay.
Also, if you are Islamic, or know a lot about the Islamic culture, please let me know whether or not her wanting me to leave her house has anything to do with that.
