Hey_Porter,

Heh yeah, the worst part for me on the first one is that I was forced to oblige and play along - my employer had just given this guy notice, he was supposed to be a full-time consultant on our staff but we couldn't put him out billing anywhere so we let him go with only two weeks' pay. He lashed out and threatened to sue, so in order to placate him I went on the meeting and the subsequent lunch.

The second one was with a guy I had met in the grocery business, knew him for all of about two minutes and he was pitching me Quixtar, this probably two years or so after the other guy's attempt. This one was much more personal, just him and a guy at the rich dude's house. It was the hardest effing sell ever, and ultimately I just signed up for the $50 or whatever just to get them to leave me the hell alone. Then I had to put up with the guy calling me every Sunday night to ask me if I wanted to place an order.
