got a sales guy here exactly like that. what makes it worse is that he was a lawyer for 12 years.
talk about a fucking nightmare. every conversation we've had i feel like i'm on the stand defending myself.
a direct quote from him obviously trying to up his self worth by speaking what he thinks is a good thought "i don't know about that 'explosion' thing happening there. looks a little too much like anthrax exploding to me." my response. "and you've seen anthrax explode?"
then he calls a meeting to discuss some options for a huge expo they're going to next week. he literally talks for 2 hours. at the end of the meeting i haven't a clue as to half of the shit he's said but all i say is "so you want an html mailer, a tri-fold leave behind brochure, and a tabletop print piece all designed from this 2 page word document you have here? right?" he says "yep" and i say, in front of the owner of the company, and the v.p. "so you've kept us all in here for 2 hours when i just said all that was needed to say in 5 seconds?!! he sat there not saying a word and i could see a smirk growing on the owners face that as quickly turned to a look of anger.
god that guy is such a fuck.
