We got an invite from a friend we hadn’t seen in a few years to come over and BBQ. We were super excited to see them and catch up. In the midst of this we were also in the middle of relocating to TN and I had just got laid off.
About thirty mins into hanging out he and his girlfriend start a pitch for some MLM crap. I cut them off in about 45 seconds and tore him a new one saying how excited we were to see them and how he was trying to make a buck while we’re in a tough financial spot. The room fell silent and I just said “yeah man I think it’s time we leave”. Haven’t talked since. It sounds petty but I felt borderline betrayed and couldn’t believe a “friend” would try to make a buck on us knowing we were in a tough spot.

Hadn't seen them in a few years and you expected them to be familiar with your financial situation? I feel like you're leaving something out.

Regardless of your financial situation they shouldn’t be pushing that crap on you.

First off what he did is beyond crappy, and I'm sorry to hear that.....but imagine what a shitty state they are in. You just know they are way in over their heads with whatever racket this is and this was one of many desperation moves.
Penn and teller do a show called bullshite about various topics and one was on MLM, and it was so fricking depressing. These people are absolutely drowning and just wreak of desperation to find a way out.
By far the most pathetic was one that was "man themed". This poor schmuck got conned into buying all this product geared toward dudes and told he would sell it like crazy. Just had to host parties. So he has to buy all the meat and all the beer for these parties and as you can imagine no dude at a cook out wants to buy his shite.
