Today, I spent 3 hours trying to close a simple $400 deal with a homeowner. He spent 3 hours telling me about his life story including his marital problems, his philosophical views of the world, AND he read me 20 pages of haiku poems. Only 3 hours later did he tell me he couldn't accept my deal. FML

"All these dumb haikus. Would you just accept my deal? Oh hell, **** my life."

maybe he just needed to talk to someone because he was lonely? idk but people shouldn't trap other people into talking to them, like that... EXTREMELY annoying

What 23 said. If this was some sort of telemarketer/door-to-door salesperson type who had been bugging the shit out of the haiku-lover, I would call this a huge WIN on haiku's part. (I know that everyone has to make a living, blah blah blah, but there is a point of annoyingness that should not be crossed.)

Why the fu-- would let him sit there and read you pages of haiku poems?? You're an idiot and I think it's hilarious you did that for a small $400 deal that he didn't even accept. hahaha

Haiku's are beautiful works of poetry, you should have been more appreciative of his poems and maybe he would have accepted the deal. =)

Not closing a deal is hardly FML. Maybe you stopped him topping himself - and really, with his marital problems and the fact that he had to find a sales person in place of a friend, more like FHL. You are a mug though for letting him read 20 pages of poetry. So maybe 'Today I discovered I am totally weak-willed and am not assertive. FML'

a punch to the jugular and kick in the balls was in order.
