I talked with a woman on several occasions when our DC were in a class together in the fall/winter last year. We ran into each other again at an event in the spring. I gave her my number and said we should get the kids together some time.
Fast forward to today: She called, said she ran across my number and reintroduced herself. She and I talked for a good while about this and that (nap schedules, school for DC, etc.). We talked about getting the kids together in general, nothing concrete.
Then she mentions her home business and next thing I know she's in full-blown sell mode and wants to set up an appointment to discuss how her business can improve the quality of life for my family. My mouth fell open, literally.
I was so shocked that I dodged an in-home consultation but she's supposed to call back next week. I have her phone number and e-mail and will cancel my "phone appointment."
WTH.
I really felt like a fool afterwards. And I'm so irritated.
