So, today a nice salesman came by the house and offered to set up an appointment to shampoo the carpets of two rooms of our house for free. Free? Yes. Absolutely free. He said they would only set up an appointment when my husband could be home (because they are two guys) and they don't work on Sundays (because they go to church that day). Great.

So this evening we were at the church and mentioned this to a couple of our friends, and our friend Craig told a big long story about his experience when a salesman came to his house and offered to "clean a spot" on his carpet. When I got home I saw that the guy was indeed from the same company that had visited Craig. His experience sounds a lot like the experience described here. I think when you check it out for yourself you'll understand why I'm going to cancel our appointment.
