Office Solicitors

I usually sit in the receptionist's desk on Fridays just because we get a lot of wholesale loan reps. that try and sell us their loan products. Not to mention the internet is slightly faster up here. It's fun! They walk in and see a young, baby-faced guy at the desk and instantly speak down to me in a smartass, condescending tone. Then when they ask to speak to the broker I say I'm one of them and their face turns pale. Haha. At which point I take all the rate copies they've handed me and dump them in the trash while they're still in mid-sentence.

But we also get these whacky people selling pure crap. How do these people make their living selling this garbage? This ******* actually walked with a fake plastic aquarium saying it was their "exclusive promotion." Wtf do you usually sell, asshat? Among the weirdest was a father son team trying to sell me martial arts equipment and a greasy looking guy trying to sell me frozen seafood at noon in my office. As if there's an ice chest in my trunk filled with ice on standby.

Anyone have funny stories?
