I was a Rainbow Vacuum salesman until my sleazy manager said he would accompany me to ensure that I closed my first sale, to my grandmother. My internal filter suddenly flicked off and I found myself spewing, "You are the most disgusting human being I've ever met, and every part of you that isn't scum makes you seem dangerously aggressive. I can't let you meet my grandmother, she'd never be able to look me in the eye again. In fact, I don't even know why I'm here. My grandmother would be so disappointed in me if she knew I were associated with you. Good luck scamming someone else, I quit." And then I walked out.

Dude didn't even seem phased by all this. He looked like people told him this shit every day.
