I got sucked into an Amway recruitment night unbeknownst to myself. 

I was visiting an old friend, and we were hanging out with her roommate. The roommate kept talking about her business, and how much she loved it, was so flexible etc. She really sold it. I was super curious, and she mentioned they were having a meeting a few night from then, and I should come. At that point in my life I had never heard of Amway, and MLM’s were not common where I was living at the time. I’m also super naive. Anyways, she gives me this big package of stuff, a huge goodie bag and all that. Twenty people show up at her house, then this couple, her “mentors” show up. At first I felt like it was kind of religious-y, and then I started looking around at all the people who came. Most were...at the end of their ropes. Desperate. Self-conscious. It was a sad vibe all while this couple was promising they had the opportunity of a lifetime to make millions, just like them. The roommate introduced me to the couple at the end, and the first thing he said to me was “Oh, you’re so confident”. I had literally shook his hand, and introduced myself. That was it for me. I left the next day, and she tried to get the goodie bag back (probably cause it cost her like $100 at least). Such a weird night!
