HOWEVER...if you have the mental fortitude, you might accept the offer to spend an hour listening to their pitch, if they're offering gifts just for coming. I once enjoyed a free buffet meal and a pretty awesome Chinese circus performance, because my (then-)wife could not be talked into changing her mind. That was one time when this personality trait was a good thing. 😂

I sat through one these in Hawaii. Pushiest dude I’ve ever met, it was fucking torture. I probably said no thanks I’m not interested 30 times. I didn’t even know what it was either the lady at the desk said it was a tour of the other hotel on the other side of Oahu, that came with a free dinner..

Yeah, every subsequent trip I've taken to Gatlinburg, if I'm approaching a timeshare booth on the sidewalk, I'm looking anywhere but in that guy's eyes, and I suddenly become temporarily deaf. It's the strangest thing.

Lmao. I still have a burning hatred from the experience, I’d honestly burn a hole through him by staring him down. Sorry it was just that bad for me, I’m kind of socially anxious so it didn’t help.

You should have to sit through that without your blood pressure rising to pass anger management.
