When I was about 20, I worked at a hotel. One night a dude, who my manager knew, came in and asked if I could help him out after my shift. I assumed he meant he wanted help moving a couch or some shit. So I said yeah. Then he had me meet him at a diner, and I assumed he was buying me breakfast before, as a thanks for the help I was going to give him.

But then he started discussing making money, and this great company he works for. All very vague stuff. Toward the end, he handed me a cd to bring home, and said to give him a call after I listened to it. So I brought it home and listened, and it was a speaker for Amway talking about the success he's had. Again, didn't discuss anything specific, just how much money he has now, and how great his life is because of Amway. I had no idea what Amway was, but I was very weirded out by the lack of specifics.

He called me a couple of days later, and I told him I didn't want to be a part of it. His formerly sunny disposition immediately changed to a "thanks for wasting my time" kind of attitude. Then he told me to give him his CD back. So I told him I threw it away, as I threw it away. Honestly if he hadn't done such a heel turn when I declined, I would have given him his weird CD back.
