The Networker From Hell
You can smell her from a mile away. She's out to get you and there's no escaping her. She was born to serve a purpose in your life. She's the one to show you the light. She is about to sell you something. Buyer beware .... she's the networker from hell!
It can be a get rich or get thin proposition she offers. Or the nth insurance policy, the wonder vacuum cleaner, indestructible cookware, unbreakable plates, make-up, tupperware, anything to thank your lucky stars for. She comes with an offer you can't refuse and it is the one and only special, limited time offer, strictly-upon-membership-purchase-with-huge-discount product that will change your life. WOW. The mother of all salespitches that's too fantastic that it can only beat the fact that there are ones who actually buy into the bullshit. And you know there are not a few of us out there, only because it is just too harassing to be trapped for much longer when the predator is so determined to make a sale off of you and the only way out is to just buy for her to get the fricken hell out.
Knowing these things, I told myself that I'd be able to dodge the moment I see it happening again, but yesterday I got cornered. This time it was the sister of a good friend who came so ready (in uniform) with sales pitch and props that came in two huge tote bags that looked very familiar because I've been harassed into buying these products before. So now, my pantry is filled with chocolate, vanilla and strawberry food substitutes with one million vitamins, supplements, chemicals, preservatives and other things I don't need to make me healthier, thinner, beautifuler, sexier, happier, whatever...
