Before daylight savings time started, I was showing a home after dark. It was a very nice split foyer house in Alexandria's Mount Vernon area. My clients were just starting to shop for a home and I knew they weren't ready to make an offer. They needed to get into a few homes and start to get their bearings on what their options would be. Therefore I wasn't 100% focused on the condition of the house and was kind of enjoying looking at all of the stuff in it while my clients were checking out the house.
The house was rather dimly lit inside. We first went downstairs to the family room where a TV was on, the sound turned down low. The channel was QVC and they were selling realistic-looking battery-powered candles. We then went upstairs and I noticed there were candles lit everywhere. I then realized that they were the same battery-powered candles that were at that moment being sold on QVC. Walking from room to room there were wall-mounted flat screen TVs in every single room, all turned to QVC, all showing the battery-powered candles, and there were those same candles lit in every room. It was surreal!
We also counted about 25 cuckoo clocks, all set to go off in sequence so you could hear each one's cuckoo separately.
