d_squared431 0 #1 July 13, 2012 I thought it was the 11 yr old being a lazy ass and instead of going thru- the open garage he wanted in the front door. Yes, he does that. There is this young 19ish yr old kid and and a slightly older guy about 30-40. I thought, oh he'll a fucking religious pusher. Then they said they were promoting their new business and offered to clean my couches, floors, ceiling fans, vents, steam clean my tile floors, etc all or free. I wasn't going to do it but then thought, they will clean my house for free. Sure enough it was a Kirby vacuum spill. An hour an a half later my whole living room was spotless. To the sliding glass doors. Then the lady came to try to get me to buy one for 1800 bucks. I listened to her as I thought, you have a fucking gold tooth, smell like cigarets and are way under dressed to pich a sale to me. I told her I love the vacuums but I can't spen 1800 on one. She then tells me I can make low monthly payments. I thought I'd playa little and let her think I was interested. I just wanted to see how low she would go on the price. I got her down to 1350 and 20 a month with no payment till October. LMAO. Then she started pulling out paperwork and I said " you know, I need to really think about this cause that's a lot of money for a vacuum." Then the other guy said it is an investment and she kept going on and on. As she is talking and writing I pulled up eBay and found a brand new Kirby for 600. Told them No, but thank you for cleaning my house. Was that wrong of me? ( posted from my iPhone cause I was too lazy to log on the laptop.

skymama 35 #3 July 13, 2012 Well, if you never had any intention of buying a vacuum, I do think you should have let them move on to someone who might. Then again, I come from a family of salespeople so I might see things differently. In fact, my Dad DID sell Kirby vacuums when he came back from Viet Nam way back in 1967. I hear that even then it was hard to make the sale because it's such an expensive, but good, product. In short, yes, that was wrong of you. You should post a better boobie photo in the boogie thread now to make up for it.

AggieDave 6 #4 July 13, 2012 On the upside the turds now know what your house looks like, what is in it, what it is worth and where it is located in your house. They also know what your back door looks like, where the windows are and what the backyard looks like. Not to mention if there are any neighbors who could see them make entry into your house from the back. They have also noted if you have any dogs and if you have an alarm. Good job, now you're going to get burglarized. Hope you have home owners or renters insurance. You may want to take some time to take photos of your valuables and make note of their model and serial numbers. That way when they're stolen it can be entered into NCIC and you have something to show your insurance company.

BillyVance 34 #8 July 13, 2012 I have had vacuum salespeople come to my house twice. I can't remember the brand names but yes, waaaay overpriced. I let them do their spiel, but they didn't clean my house like yours did. I still have the Alabama Crimson Tide car window flag I got for free just for letting one of them come in.

jimmytavino 16 #11 July 13, 2012 ....so a vacuum cleaner salesman visits an elderly woman at an old house,,, in a rural area, out in the middle of NOwhere... He shows her the machine,,brags about how good it is,, takes a plastic bag of DIRT outta his briefcase,, empties the WHOLE thing,,, onto the floor and proclaims..." If this machine doesn't pick UP every bit of this dirt,,, I'll EAT... whatever is left"...The woman grins, and gets up and heads for the kitchen.... "Where are you Going??' says the salesman... " i'm getting You a spoon" she replies,,,,,, " This house doesn't have any "Lec-Tricity"..........Kirby Vacuums have always had a good reputation,,,and their salemen are world reknowned for being "persistant" still, it's only a vacuum... and by buying one that's 5 times cheaper... I can do the same job,,,, AND afford 4 More, over time,, if the first one breaks...just sayin'... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrmrangers 0 #12 July 13, 2012 Dave, that was the first thing that went through my mind too. Whenever I see these sales people coming to my door I usually take all my clothes off and answer the door buck naked. It's amazing how much less people want to talk to you when your standing there with your junk swinging in the breeze.Wait , I pull what first? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hookitt 0 #22 July 13, 2012 Woops, went off topic. A kirby salesman came to my place years ago. At the time, I shared a pretty big place. I cleary stated I didn't want to and wasn't going to buy a vacuum cleaner. He still wanted to show me how well it worked so I let him. He did a great job with the living room and then asked if I minded if he finished the hallway. He even did one small throw rug in the kitchen. I was very impressed but still resisted the sale. He was very good at the job and I sure didn't mind a bit of free cleaning with an impressive machine. Well, he left, I went to work and my place was robbed Every thing was true except the part about being robbed My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...
