I kicked a kerby salesman out of my house... (Read 800 times)

Last night somebody calls and said, "We're a new carpet cleaning service in town and we're offering a free carpet cleaning with hopes that you will recommend us your us to others." I said, "I've been wanting to hire a company to clean the carpets in my house..." She asks, "What kind of vacum do you have?" I saiid, "A Dyson, I love my Dyson, You're not going to sell me a vacum cleaner are you?" She said, "No, oh we would never do that.' I said, "Because I don't want a Kerby salesman coming into my house." Today...who shows up, a kerby salesman. He tried to bad my mouth my sacred Dyson. I told him, "You already proved to me your company is one who lies. Why would I write you a check?" Then noticed he walked on my ivory carpet with muddy shoes. Said, "You can clean the mud you dragged on my carpet and get out of my house." He stood there with his muddy shoes and denied he did it. It was not pretty. I should have known better.

Oh, I would have killed him! I HATE housework and those who make more of it for me get an earful. I'm glad Kirby people have never come around here, though 90% of our house is not carpeted.

Thats awesome! Why would someone ever want anything else other than a Dyson??? thats just plain insanity.... FYI - my parents got suckered into the kerby thing. I always hated it so when I moved out and got my dyson, we did a comparison.....my mom vacuumed the whole house with her stupid kerby and then i came over with my dyson.....yeah the container was still pretty full after her "initial cleaning" - so screw you kerby!

Wait. They still have people who sell vacuum cleaners door-to-door? Seriously? That's adorable.

He said, "Dyson spends 70% of their money on marketing." I'm sure going door to door is cost effective also. My Dyson has sucked up so much pet hair but still it seems to do an awesome job. The other day I accidently got a makeup brush and DH had to take it apart. There was a giant lincoln log in it. Even with that in there, there was still good suction. No kerby salesmen is going to heaven.

RunB, I agree! I think my job sucks out all the oxygen in my life; that job would do it literally.

That is just insane. & Yes, DYSON's are the best.

Ok, first off this guy was a real tool. Now on to more serious matters. Kirby's are the best vacuum cleaners in the world. Of course, they're also the most expensive so when you factor that out, there are some that are better value (Dysson and Orec for example). But when all is said and done, they're amongst the most powerful and hands down the most durable vacuum cleaners on the market. Kirby salesmen are among the highest paid sales force in the US. There are only a few industries (pharmecueticals for example) that pay higher.
