SHUT THE DOOR IF.....

A man comes to your door asking about a survey he is doing on Baking Soda....
So i was sitting at home eating some lunch and i hear a Knock on my door....so of course i answer it and there is this guy (who looks kinda creepy) at my door with a box of baking soda, then he asked "do you use baking soda" and i said NO! Then he hands be this box of baking soda and i took it (bad Idea) and then he say OK wait just a sec. and RUNS OFF...so there i am holding this freaking box of baking soda. NEXT the guy runs up to the door with a huge box (and i am like crap why did i take the baking soda) and just walks in. I keep the door open because i was scared out of my mind like what does this guy have in this box....anyways then he starts putting this vacuum together like he was Jeff Gordon's Pitt cue and just starts going off about this vacuum....then another guy walks in and shuts the door that i kept open for a reasoned. The next thing i know the guy starts vacuuming my floor...at first i was like sweet...oh wait no CREEPER! and he just still talking 100 Mph....Any ways at the end of this 2 HOUR demonstration (I know LONG TIME) of the KERBY vacuum he tells me the price...2000 dollars! So i of course said sorry we just cant right now....the man would not give up...he called his supervisor and asked if he could give me his family and friend discount (BULL) and how much they would take off if i traded in my vacuum they said $970....WOW right we got it for like $100! But i stood my ground and said no....the guy would still not leave he kept on talking and talking and then he wanted me to call my husband to ask him and so i pretended like i did and i told him that he was not answering! Then the guy goes to call his boss to tell him what i said and he does not have service....so he used my phone...i did not think they were EVER going to LEAVE...good thing Lacey was there for the last hour of it or i would have been really scared all by my self...to cut the story in half....they finally left and i still have my $100 vacuum! And by the way why was he asking about the Baking Soda? So...if a Man ever comes to your door asking about Baking Soda just say NO THANK YOU!!!!

Wow, this is exactly why I don't answer my door unless I know who's on the other side. I guess the good news is you got a box of baking soda!

He came to my house too! I will have to tell you about it some time. I didn't even let him in, when he came back up the steps with that vaccuum I wasn't very nice and ended up slamming the door in his face. He would not take no for an answer and I happened to be very busy at the time. I am glad I am not the only one annoyed at him! haha
