We’ve been getting a few quotes on insulating our home. Anyone have any experience with this? Batts or loose fill? Cellulose or wool? Foil or no foil? Whirlybirds or no whirlybirds? In any case, I’m looking forward to walking into the house in the middle of Summer and have the rooms be COOLER than outside. It’s supposedly a competitive business with companies cutting corners and being less than honourable.
Husband and I are suckers. If someone is nice to us we don’t mind paying exorbitant amounts of money a little extra. I think I might have turned the tables a bit though (UNINTENTIONALLY I might add):
Geoff: “Good morning Kasmiya, it’s Geoff calling from Some Insulation Company. We had an appointment for 7 tonight but I’ve just heard about the problems on the SE freeway and I was wondering if I could make our appointment a bit earlier?”
Tasmiya: “Sure. No problems. What time?”
Geoff: “Hmm..maybe this afternoon. 1 o’clock?”
Tasmiya: “That’s not a problem. Sounds good to me.”
Geoff: “Thank you so much, Kasmiya.”
Tasmiya: “No worries. 1 o’clock actually suits me better, too.”
Geoff: “Ok. I will see you at 1 o’clock then.”
Tasmiya: “Yep! Ok.”
Beat
Geoff: “Ok.”
Tasmiya: “Ok.”
Pause
Geoff: “See ya!”
Tasmiya: “Bye.”
Geoff: “Bye.”
Tasmiya: “Bye.”
Geoff: “Love you.”
Tasmiya: “Love you too.”
It started out as one of those awkward goodbyes and quickly turned into something completely EMBARRASSING. Did he actually say he LOVED me? He can’t even get my name right! And did I actually respond IN KIND?
Geoff has given us the cheapest quote so far.
Just sayin’.
« Things You Don’t Want to Hear When You’re Toilet Training To Allah We Belong and to Him We Return »
I am howling with laughter. That is the most awkward situation EVER. Was it weird when he turned up? Did he try to propose?
I used to do in-home computer training and one of my clients a woman in her mid-thirties used to or maybe still does think that we were friends. She was friendly, I met her family, and she would occasionally buy me gifts around the holidays or when she returned from vacations.
More than once when I was leaving, we said our usual goodbyes and she was like “love ya” and I didn’t say anything back. In my mind, I was like what are you talking about, we are not even friends.
Hahahahahahahaha. Did that REALLY happen? How hilarious.
Don’t think I’ll ever let you hear the end of that one!
Hahahahahahahaha
DSAH.
Oh man, I am just feeling the uncomfortable-ness from over here! I sure hope those batts are cheap!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Oh my gosh, can you hear me laughing in Melbourne? That is one of the funniest things I’ve read in ages. Was it super-weird when he showed up? Hope he didn’t try to give you a big, fat pash on the way out
Very funny
I hope you got a really good quote.
Love you too…oops
Ya Haqq!
To be honest, I don’t think he realised he even said it because everything was fine when he turned up. Although he did mention apropos of nothing that he was getting married in a few months.
Salamaat,
hahaha..you are too funny sis!
Just wanted to wish you and your loved ones Eid Mubarak:)
By all means use wool insulation, its a natural flame retardant and more eco freindly than the other choices.
Funny “love” story!
