Student apartments has to be up there. Some of the shite they make those student workers do falls so flat I feel sorry for them.

Yeah the alarm company wants $20 more dollars a month so my electronic door lock can be controlled with the alarm. It's the biggest crock of shite.

Anything that deals with money/finance that markets towards the financially irresponsible. Examples would be, the buy your house/car for cash, timeshares, etc.

And realtors

I can get behind a MLM deal with a solid product, but those are the exception, not the rule.

The merits of auto warranties may be for another thread, but is there anything worse than sitting down with the finance manager at a dealership when you just want to sign you paperwork and take your car?

Any situation where they're willing to cut the price in half after you say no is a cringe worthy practice.

Maybe I’m missing something but what do you mean student workers for student apartments? Like work your rent off?

Not really sales as much as marketing, but as an attorney, I absolutely hate the Morris Bart, Gordon, Bart Bernard commercials/billboards/radio ads shtick.
