Why Door To Door Salespeople Are #1 On My Shit List

Kirby Saleswoman
Get the fuck out of my house
You’ve been here too long

She arrived at 2:30 p.m. and JUST LEFT. It is after 5 p.m. She kept vacuuming everything and showing me the dirt she picked up. “Are you surprised by that?” she’d ask.

Are you kidding? I’m a sleep-deprived mom with a brand new baby and a professional mess-maker named Julia. I can’t believe there wasn’t more! I let her vacuum my living room and clean my couch; I encouraged her to clean some more. When she wouldn’t, I tried to kick her out. Getting a salesperson to leave your house is like trying to free a toy from all that twist tied, rubber banded, sealed in hard plastic packaging at Christmas. IT’S ANNOYING AND IT TAKES FOREVER.

That sounds like my version of hell.

I didn’t know they still have door to door vacuum sales rep anymore. Too bad she didn’t bring a mop too.

WHY THE HELL DID YOU LET HER IN? I always gesture towards the floor and say “Oh, my whole house is wood. No carpet here!” And then I slam the door really quick. I didn’t, however, know that THEY would do the vacuuming for you.
