Conversation with vacuum saleswoman this morning, gone bad. Kids: There is a weird lady at the door. Me: Can I help you? Lady: I need to come inside, please. Its awfully hot out here. (As she budges her way past me into my home.) Me: (Slightly frowning/extremely annoyed). I am not buying a vacuum. I am very busy. We are doing chores and getting ready to go to a birthday party. Lady: We are not selling rainbows. We are actually a house-cleaning company. Me: I already clean homes for a living. (Steam coming out of my head at this point.) Kids: giggling loudly in the hallway Lady: Oh, great then you can give us pointers on cleaning. (As her assistant begins barging his way into my living room with a huge box...a.k.a. $2500 vacuum. Me: (I get my $100 Bissell vacuum and bring it into the living room.) I HAVE a vacuum. I clean my own home. I AM BUSY. I do NOT want you to clean my carpet. Lady and Assistant: (kneeling at my carpet) telling me how clean they can get my carpet. Me: (Got irate in front of my children.) PLEASE LEAVE. TAKE YOUR BOX WITH YOU. IM NOT GIVING YOU TIPS ON CLEANING. I HAVE A PERFECTLY FINE VACUUM. I DO NOT WANT YOU IN MY HOME. I AM BUSY. GOODBYE. Lady and Assistant: Look appalled, and say OH, okay, and then walk next door to the next house.
