St. Paddy's Day came one day early this year in NYC. The parade was yesterday morning, and young twenty-somethings huddled together tonight to talk about how Irish they are and drink Irish Car Bombs. Amid all of the fun, there are a few people that are willing to share their secrets to success in business.
Unfortunately, I ran into one of those tonight. A 27 year old slimey businessman continually paid for our drinks throughout the night as he told us how great of a person he was. He was nice, but there's a point where people overwhelm you with stories about business ventures and their fisticuff victories over douchebags as dirty as them.
It seems like my town if full of these types. Young people with money made by their parents who suddenly think they've found the secret to success as their parents fund business opportunities that anyone with a mind can think of.
The thing about these people is they try really hard to win you over by buying drinks and telling stories. It's in-genuine. It's not how people treat other people. However, it's difficult to tell them off.
How do you deal with these fuckers without pissing them off.
