One thing that pissed me off recently is the sudden appearance of long, lost friends (??!!) who started talking so nicely, as if they miss me so dearly (BLAH!), but eventually to realise that they have embarked on a sales career!! That's when they will start promoting their products, be it health supplements, which they claimed to be some miracle pills, or insurance. Sigh, that's life! Especially when you start working, you'll see such friends (??!!) contacting you out of the blue. In the first place, they are not even my close friends, just "hi-bye" friends and one of whom I've only met twice. It's really irritating!!! I would say that they have superb pestering skills, lots of patience and ultra thick skin! Haha... That's why I know that I'm not the cut for sales line, as I bear none of the virtues they possess.
Well, well, I'm not that hard-hearted. I do understand that it's their job, as the only way for them to survive is to target friends, and of course, it's usually easier to approach less close friends as even if it's going to sour the relationship, they'll be less concerned since we are no more than just "hi-bye" friends. But, I still feel, to a greater extend, that they quite fackos. Miss me?? Then they would have started contacting me years ago, why wait til now? Maybe they really miss me (which I remain sceptical about!), but the timing is really not right. Missing a not-so-close friend at this point in time doesn't sound convincing enough. Maybe they have exhausted the list of friends in his contact list and I look like the sort of easy target for him. But sorry, it's a NO NO. I'm not easily convinced or swayed, though I may look as if I am.
So anyone out there who's into MLM or selling insurance, you can forget about convincing me. Ahaha...
