Mistakes

Don't you wish there were mistakes that you could just fix. Well I made one last night, and thank goodness I was able to fix it. Last night, this young girl came to my house and offered me a free rug cleaning. Well that wasn't all I was getting myself into. She comes in and starts talking to me about this product, the Kirby. When I said it was ok to clean my rug, she calls her boss back and lets him know that he can bring the vacuum buy. Now she is really excited about cleaning the rugs. She unpacks it, and starts talking about every piece. Now they caught me in the middle of work so I amused her, as she explains what each piece is for. Then she cleans my couch, however, she uses filters that shows the dirt, and changes them every few seconds so I can see exactly how dirty the couch was. Then she moves to the bed and tries to tell me about dust mites of which I didn't want to know anything about it. Then she cleans/shampoos the carpet in my room, of which by the way it didn't do anything, just made it damp with a weird smell. Then I simply ask her for a number just in case I would be interested. She calls her boss back who talks figures. I was impressed, so I ended up being suckered into getting one. Now these vacuums cost $2,000. Yea, I don't have that kind of money to spend on a vacuum. So I could not sleep that night. Woke up to use the bathroom, and could not fall back to sleep for another 2 hours, I was tormented. So I called the office to see when they were open. After that, the boss called to see how I was doing with the vacuum and I said I had to return it. So he came and was trying to sell me or persuade me, but I just wanted him out of my house. Then he had the audacity to say that the girl said I screamed at her. And that even though I am smiling I come of standoffish, and said hopefully I will work on that. I wanted to drop kick him.

But you know what, I feel relieved now... and the next time someone comes knocking on my door that I don't know, I wont even open it.

Well that was the mistake that I was able to fix. I have big things to do and places where I should spend money, and a vacuum in a place that I RENT, I don't need a vacuum for that price.
