Pick Your Poison, Thursday

There was a salesman on the phone trying to convince Adrian to buy his company's stock of bath products. The first thing Adrian had done was ask him where he sourced his ingredients, and then when he couldn't answer, asked what those ingredients were. The guy had gotten maybe a third of the way through the list when Adrian interrupted. "Thank you for the offer, but we're not interested."

That really should have been the end of it, but the guy had swapped tactics. Adrian tried to get off the phone several more times before finally saying, "The store owner is in on Tuesdays. You'll have to call and give your spiel to her," and then hung up.

Having this guy talk to Pam was probably a little cruel, but he was the one who wouldn't let Adrian go otherwise. And Pam couldn't murder him over the phone. So, really, he felt confident in his decision.
