My poor Mom. She thought a young man was an "environmental specialist." That's what vacuum cleaner salesmen tell you they are these days. He told her they were coming to tell her what was in her air. Yep, I coulda told her. I know what's in her air. Hair from me and my friend Riley Sue.
They came stomping into the house with their fancy machines and sales pitch. You shoulda seen my Dad. He glowered. Mom wanted to cry. Who can afford $4000 for a vacuum cleaner? They kept showing her all the dirt in her house (not like she didn't already know it was there). She offered to let them vacuum us dogs, but they weren't interested, for some odd reason. I bet I could have fixed their fancy machine. If it would have vacuumed me without falling apart, it would have been great indeed!
Sales pitches are filled with dumb questions. It's like they think the homeowners or the women are stupid. My Mom isn't stupid. She just got duped into the appointment by lies from the company. They weren't "environmental experts" coming to "test the air for particles", they were vacuum cleaner salesmen. What a racket!
A lot of humans get sucked into these things all the time. People lie. Dogs are honest, by the way. If we don't like you we say so. If we want something, we beg. We don't waste your time with lies.
Just because someone lives in a fancy neighborhood doesn't mean that they are rich. Those guys pushing on my parents to buy something just made them feel bad.They said no and shoo-ed the guys out of the house.
I hope I'm in the house the next time someone tries tomake my folks buy something they can't afford. I'll remember to bite them for general principle.
