Front door not even shut after welcoming them in (it's the female that's speaking...over him, over me...)
Her: "So how long has this home been in your family?"
Me: "This is not a family home. I purchased this while on vacation here ten years ago."
Her: "Oh, you are single? Not married? You live alone?"
Me: "I do this myself."
Her: "Oh, Bless Your Heart! (arghhhhhhh...ready to throttle this hag!)...well, is this all you do? Just rent out rooms in your home? This is what you do for a living?"
I seriously stopped answering her. I've never done that before. In ten years, I have never ignored a guest, regardless how intrusive the questions were. I simply stopped answering her and started giving my spiel. She tried to interrupt several times, and I just kept on ignoring her. I am tired of internalizing the aggravation I feel at people that are so freaking stupid and clueless about any world outside of their own. Especially when they put on a fake face and try to appear inquisitive instead of just degrading, rude and nosy.
I will not let this ruin my day. I will not. I will not. I will have a drink in a bit. I will. I will.
