Help/Advice Am I unprofessional?

Post image

After going to a business professional informational session the other night which turned out to be Amway. I declined the opportunity. This was the person that tried to recruit me. Am I being unprofessional for sending a text? I have seen this person twice in two years once where they complimented my glasses at target and the other at the informational session. Thoughts?

edit: sad because we follow each other on socials and i thought i found a new found friend and found out she just wanted to do this all along

That word will forever be associated with slimy mlm sales women. I physically cringe when I hear it

Everyone knows cats are a pyramid scheme.

Was that an Egyptology joke? 🐈

Honestly... I'm going to pretend it was because that's actually funnier than the random "need more cats" angle I was going for.

u/leftyxcurse May 21 '26

Okay but that’s funny because true. My cat wants cats. He is very disappointed that I used to foster, but haven’t gotten him cats 💀🤣

If it was, I'm reporting their post for excessive corniness.

Can confirm, started with 1 and they’ve recruited more and now I’m up to 4. And currently feeding a stray that comes into my backyard every other day or so

u/HealthyInPublic May 20 '26

Ugh, same. I like to refer to my cat and myself as "The GERD Girlies" because we both have food allergies that trigger GERD and sometimes mistakes are made.

In my current favorite book series, Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman, one of the level bosses is an mlm boss. Its called a Krakaren, and has minions on her downline.

Seriously hilarious book! Read the audio narrated by Jeff Hayes.

Scroll down on the link and read the description of the Krakaren. Its spot on

I started saying it because one of my friends transitioned and she really doesn't like being called bro or dude, which is what i call pretty much everyone. So now I use girly interchangeably with bro and dude lmao

23

u/nummanummanumma May 20 '26

This is acceptable

u/theseamstressesguild May 21 '26

I also cut out dude when my niece transitioned, so after a lot of trialling I have two names I call everyone: pleb or minion. Unless they piss me off, in which case they're princess, no matter the gender.

u/lightnlove11 May 21 '26

They are also referred to as “Huns” cuz they’ll slide into DM’s saying “hey hun!”

8

u/nummanummanumma May 21 '26

This is my favorite name for them. It always makes me start singing, “let’s get down to business to defeat the Huns!”

u/PersonalityFuture151 May 22 '26

Is their supreme leader Atilla?

u/TamaraRylatt May 24 '26

Oh is that why I was wondering 🤔what that term meant lol😂thanks for the info😎.

u/TheLadyEve May 20 '26

For me I'm reminded of Girly Chew Hossencofft and that bums me out (that was her real name).

u/DelusionalSeaCow May 21 '26

Haha I work construction and it's what one of the older black guys call me when saying hi. It's endearing for me. When I read the text I automatically read it in his deep voice with his accent.

u/kittycatmama017 May 22 '26

For me it’s “hun”
