First, he told me we needed a whole house surge protector. I hadn’t asked for that service. That was $7,000. I told him we already had that. Then he looked at one of our light switches and said the entire house needed all the switches replaced. Only $5,000. The house is 7 years old and there’s nothing wrong with the electrical. And if there is, we know how to change out a switch. To add can lights and the pendant? $3,700. I may be female and 64, but I am not stupid. Oh, and they sent me an invoice for $8.75 for truck supplies. Not sure what that might be. Please don’t contact them for ANY quotes.

Hope you enjoyed a great laugh. Mister Sparky must have had one jolt too many. Thanks for the heads up.
As to the invoice, it could (if ignored) be a way to put a lean on your home or some other nefarious move. Sounds suspiciously crooked to me.
Riddle answer is ,"a person".
