The older I get, the more my peers are peddling pyramid schemes

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve noticed 5 girls I went to high school with selling something on Facebook. From essential oils to children’s books to pampered chef and “beauty” products.

I couldn’t imagine being married to someone dumb enough to be “salesperson” for one of these MLM scheme.

How many times have you seen:

Girl Scout cookie parents are the worst. Isn't that just a pyramid scheme? Granted the cookies are delicious and I usually drop a hundo every year on them.

Or essential oil made from children's books that not only works as cooking oil, but also makes a great makeup remover.

No.....they are only sold once a year, and they aren’t recruiting everyone that bought them to sell them. It’s their biggest fundraiser of the year to be able to run their business and also teach the girls about responsibility and salesmanship (I get that moms have taken over). Now that being said, nothing worse than the coworker who leaves the fricking ordering sheet in the break room. I give my order to the first girl that knocks on my door to sell them

The smarter I get, the more I realize others have a very broad idea of what a pyramid scheme is.

It was definitely a late 20’s kind of thing from my age group. It’s one of those things that people never forget you did and you can never get that respect back. All those girls are freaking clueless.

Every time I open the Facebook app, I get upset that I’m on it. I only keep it is for out of town family.
