Kirby
I was embarassed Ripoff

I live in a tiny town. People are friendly and trusting here, so it wasn't unusual to get a knock on my door from a stranger. Then this woman barged right into my home when we answered the door, shoved Tide in my hands, and said she was going to get a guy to do some cleaning for me, and all I had to do was tell her how he did, it would only take a few minutes. I pushed her a few times to be more precise, as I tried to get her back out of my house, but she wouldn't even walk near the door. She was talking to fast, I could hardly understand her, and she kept saing, I'm getting the guy, ok? I thought it was a cleaning service. I thought, I can put up with this for 1/2 an hour, just to see what it is. Almost 3 hours later they were pressuring me, hard, to spend $1800 on their vacuum. Now this sounds weird, but at first I was amazed that the guy was sucking dirt right off my walls. But he kept going on and on, he knew he was going to take 3 hours. I simply had never encountered anything like this before, (which they were counting on) so I kept thinking, surely he's almost done. I didn't buy the Kirby, but I was embarassed that I even let these scuzzy people into my house. They were very nice until I kept refusing and refusing. Then they abrubtly left, and dumped the dirt they had vacuumed back onto my floor. An "accident" I'm sure. I was embarassed, but then I realized, this scum had gotten up that morning with the intent to get me to hand over almost $2000 to them, legal thieves, they were practiced, and I was just minding my own business. When they left, finally, I found this site, printed copies, followed their van around my tiny town and warned my neighbors. Then I called the police, because these people wouldn't give me ANY information about themselves, and they were pulled over, HA! And I do take comfort in their frustrated faces, and the fact that they vacuumed for 3 hours for nothing. But I feel violated, like I caught a thief reaching into my purse. They had a purpose, they scoped out my home (it's a nice looking one) knew I was vulnerable, (they said as much when I asked them why they came to my tiny town) and even knowing we have 8 kids and one on the way, they never faultered for a second to try to take our money away. $1800 that would buy a lot of diapers and baby clothes, school books, etc. The worst part is I don't even know where they came from, so I can't even yell at them! WHY is this legal?!
