Oh man. I went to one of their 'presentations'. They refused to call it the business, or the company. It was to be referred to as 'The Opportunity'. We had a 20 year old kid with a hundred dollar haircut giving us this spiel.
I listened attentively and politely, and left at the soonest possible time. Good grief, there's a lot of this nonsense out there.
In that dry period in my life, I ended up delivering things in bobtail trucks. Even that had its cheesy moments, when they'd try to overload me and give me instructions on avoiding weigh stations. I flat-out refused to do this, and I refused to drive an overloaded rig, which made me a 'troublemaker'. Aghh.
One time driving back in New Jersey, I had a problem with my wagon, it would stall out as soon as I let off on the gas pedal. So I drove all the way back from Jersey with my foot on the gas. If I had to slow down for tollbooths or whatever, I'd shift into neutral so I could keep my foot on the gas. It was a crazy ride. Then another time, the copier was too big for me to close the hatchback door. So I'm driving all the way back with a copier sticking out through the rear with the hatchback open. When I hit Connecticut, a huge downpour ensues. I had to pull off the highway and look for a place to buy some plastic or tarp to cover the damn copier. All the way back, I'm wondering if the copier was ruined and I would now have to pay the $10,000 for the copier!
But I'd rather go through all that again than to be a telemarketer.
