Man that is hilarious.

I had the same situation arise in my home a couple of years ago. My wife somehow agreed to a product demonstration. I think it was linked to a draw we entered at the home show. It was a pretty shady setup.

It was also right after we had paid a pretty good sum to install a central vacuum system in our home.

When he arrived and we realized what was coming we told this guy straight up that we had just installed a central vac. and had ZERO interest in buying a new vacuum. He still wanted to give us his pitch.

I basically sat there trying not to kill myself laughing as he went through his routine. He stopped a few times and I stated, "I am sorry but we really have no interest in this." It was bizarre. He kept on trucking on.

He eventually gave up as I had to basically leave the room cause I couldnt control my laughter anymore.

He packed up his bag of tricks and looked like he was about to cry. I told him he could take his $5 knives with him. This seemed to make him feel better as he stormed out of our home.

Unbelievable is all I can say.
