Annoyed!

This last week a lady came to my door wanting me to register to win a $10,000 gift card to Home Depot. This is how our conversation went-

Lady- Hi, we will be doing a drawing for a $10,000 gift card to Home Depot. What is your name so I can get you registered.

Me- Well wait a minute.....where is this registration going to end up? Am I going to be getting calls from other solicitors...will you be selling my number to other call lists? What exactly is the catch here?

Lady- Oh, no Miss. The only way you would get a call is if your card is drawn. We will not be selling or giving your information to anyone else. There is not catch, we are just holding a drawing and want to get you registered to win.

Me- OK, fine. I give her my name and phone number.

I'm thinking what the heck, we'll see what happens........
Fast forward to yesterday. Phone rings and here is the next conversation-

Man- Jody, this last week someone came to door and registered you in a drawing for a gift card to Home Depot.

Me- Yes, that's right.

Man- Well you didn't win the Home Depot gift card but I'm happy to tell you that you won a $100.00 gas card. We would like to set up a time to deliver this to you. Will you be home Monday or Tuesday?

Me- I'll be home Monday afternoon.

Man- Will you and your husband be there with you?

Me- No. (thinking...I've heard that line before! It's either Rainbow or Kirby wanted to do a demo! And if so...I'm ticked! Or someone is setting up a time to come and either kidnap or rape me in my own home!)

Man- Can we set up a time when you will both be there?

Me- Why does my husband have to be here for you to give me a gas card?

Man- Well, all we ask is that you invite this person in and let them do a demonstration for the Rainbow vacuum. No pressure and after the demo you can get the $100.00 gas card.

Me- Ok- wait a minute here- I specifically asked the lady if I would be getting phone calls wanting to sell something. I asked her what the catch was. And she flat out told me no, no catch. Only a call if you win. (Ok- I won, but there's a catch)

Man- I'm sorry for the miscommunication.

Me- Oh, there was NO miscommunication- she flat out lied to me! And I am so frustrated that you are calling me about this. I've had rainbow demo before- great vacuum, but too expensive for us, and yes there was pressure! You guys are being very deceiving, and I'm not happy about it. Goodbye!

I was so annoyed, my heart was racing. I normally not a confrontational person at all, until I get calls like this...then I'm a feisty little thing. Yes, this is me being feisty....
