Bee’s in wall

We have what we thought were hornets in our wall, but the exterminator has determined they’re just bumble bee’s. Unfortunately their nest or whatever it’s called is above our bed, and the exterminator has made 2 trips so far and they’re still kicking.

I wonder if the 30 day warrantee is from the day of the first visit or if it renews on the second, third, etc visit…

Oye vey.

Dear Kirby

Oh Kirby, You came to my door this week saying that you will clean one carpet in my house and all I have to do is spread the good word about Kirby. I asked you to make sure that you wouldn’t try and sell me a vacuum, and you quickly responded that you wouldn’t wish that on anybody, “these things are expensive”.

So you and your associates showed up at the scheduled time and because you had reinforcements (read: two additional associates along with the original contact) I asked you again “And you’re not going to try and sell this to me, correct?” The leader of the three said, “of course we are”. So I told you “I don’t have time for a sales pitch, and I can’t afford your vacuum.” The third chimed in something about money and I cut him off: “I’m not financing a vacuum cleaner”.

The leader then said the free carpet cleaning speaks for itself, and I replied that his associate spoke for herself when she lied to get in my door. They were not hesitant when I asked them to leave.
