redbird: closeup of me drinking tea, in a friend's kitchen (Default)

I inquired about buying a mattress and box spring some months ago. We've not followed up for a variety of reasons.

A salesbeing just called, and I admitted to being here, and asked what it was. He said "we're just calling to see when you want a mattress to be delivered."

I explained "We have not yet selected or paid for a mattress, so we can't schedule a delivery. When we're ready, we'll let you know." I don't know if he's just trying to pressure me into making a purchase, or whether he's hoping that I'd be confused enough to say something like "Saturday" and they could claim they had a contract. Probably the former, given that it would be illegal to be recording the call without telling me, but mattress stores aren't known for high ethical standards.

(The two previous calls had been from [livejournal.com profile] cattitude and [livejournal.com profile] adrian_turtle, and when it rang this time I thought "It's not going to be Q," because zie basically never calls me.)
