The Creeps

You know what creeps me out? Strange people knocking on my door. And in the place that I live in, that does not happen often. But today, this little situation takes the cake for me. I mean having someone come to my door, saying they are cleaners and that if they can get enough interest in their services or products that they'll win a trip to Vegas is STRANGE. Put it this way, the more this person spoke, the less and less I trusted a word she said.

So all of this was truly strange, a lot of which didn't really add up all that well in my head. And it was very, very fishy.

My spidey sense was tingling even.

Didn't realize I had that...

And I suppose to help assure me, this person also went ahead and claimed that they aren't trying to sell me anything, so I didn't need to pay for anything of that sort either. All I needed to do was just sit back, let this person clean and I'd be asked for feedback after it was done. What got me wondering about how legit this whole thing was is this:

1. There were no company names or anything ever provided. I would have to think that this would be a big must-do in a situation like this, no?

2. As mentioned above, apparently this person was in some sort of contest that, provided they "won," would earn them a trip to Las Vegas. But on the flip side, who pays a person $40 per house in a contest? If these are legit, maybe I am in the wrong field of work...



3. This is the one that got me wanting to slam that door and get the fuck out of that conversation and fast. This person had to have their manager with them while they did this cleaning. Now I had to have not one, but TWO strangers in my house? In this day and age? HELL NO!

4. This person (a woman) was not dressed all that professionally at all! Who seriously shows up to a home, apparently trying to sell something, in a strapless top? If that was suppose to help allure, it did not and it just made me that much more weary of the whole situation.

For added clarification, I gave my girlfriend a ring at work and sure enough, after explaining what was happening she expressed the same concerns I had. Sounded way too fishy and I am running the risk of being robbed, which would not be a good thing obviously.More so because I am the only one at home and most of the people who live in our complex are out at work and those left are elderly folks.

So all of this did, indeed, smell like a steaming pile of bull to her and me both. Needless to say, I shut my front door, locked it and disappeared. This cleaner lady did return and knocked at my door for about 5 minutes, then disappeared herself.
