3 Job Offers I Would NOT Accept

I do not like being pushy... Jumping into others' beeswax makes me uncomfortable. If someone asks for or is obviously interested in something I might be able to offer or explain, I'm ready to be their hero. But trying to convince someone that he needs something for which he doesn't already have a felt need is not my cup of Earl Grey.

So after sitting in a mall for two hours while waiting for a flat tire to be replaced, I've made this list of 3 jobs I would not like to have:

1. Mall Kiosk Salesperson - I'd have to be on a caffeinated IV drip to stay awake.

2. Cellular Service Salesperson - Need I say more? I'd rather be stalked by a car salesman on meth than be peddled by a cell-phone dealer.

3. Best Buy Salesperson - "You NEED the replacement plan! Please please puh-leeeeez buy the replacement plan! A puppy will die if you don't buy the replacement plan!"
