About two weeks ago the mother of a friend contacted my gf about her "business" she was starting and wanted to know if my gf was interested or would hear her spiel about the business (financial sales - you guessed it, primerica bullshit). Well, at the time my gf tried to drag me into this and I made it clear at that point that I had no interest in it at all, nor did I care to waste my time listening to someone try and pitch the "you could make thousands a month" bullshit. At the time I thought I had made it clear that I didn't want to be involved. Despite that, she went and listened to some guy speak about it - fine I respect that, it's her choice.
Skip to this past Saturday. We had a baby shower to go to (fucking co-ed) where this mother was present. She knew that I had no interest yet pushed the issue to my GF as if I was some sort of asshole for not listening. Again, she tried to push me to into listening to her spiel but I had yet again, no interest in it. It was left at her stating that she would get a hold of me to talk.
Fast forward to today. I get a call from the mother's "boss" and he states that he hears I'm difficult to get to talk to and that he would like to meet over coffee to discuss what his company has to offer, and that they are looking for people like me. Again I reiterated that I have no interest in financial sales or primerica, and that it was not a good time as I was at work and didn't care to discuss. He seemed to understand where I was coming from, but asked again if we could just briefly discuss over coffee. At this point, I told him fine in the sake of shutting everyone up and that I would give him 10 minutes of my time and he could buy me a cup of coffee on saturday afternoon. I also told him no guarantees on anything but I will listen to what he has to offer (even though I know what they do, and that they try to get you to provide friends and family numbers).
Right after that, I lit into the gf again about this nonsense and I told her I don't appreciate that she gave out my number to these people, and I don't appreciate her mixing family with business which is what these people do.
Seriously, do people just narc out friends and family members these days for money or the hope that they can get rich quick? I was raised to believe that you NEVER mix family and business, and you never hand out phone numbers to salespeople. This shit just isn't ethical to me either.
