DIg Me, Influence Me

I was in Land mark when I found that there are some interesting things people do. They are the new guys in town armed with social engineering skills. I was just looking into Rocky part II cd back cover when this guy came and just started on conversation

" hey this is the best movie I have ever seen". I could just relate to the marketing tactics that is told in books to start on a conversation. I just turned to the guy and I know I am caught here. i am caught in the embarrassment of not having seen Rocky in my entire life time till now. Devil in me that always hate ignorance has to tell something. I just replied him I am a great movie collector and my decision is to whether to own the CD or not even though I have seen it n Number of times. I had to be like somebody to tell something that i possess. I told him that in spite of a seventy mm membership for watching movies I am in a decision making process. He asked me what I do and I had all the answers that he needs. What I do and what I am good for.

All was fine and he asked me to keep in touch and I have to give away my phone number. Five minutes passed and I had another guy looking at me with great surprise and tells me he has seen me. Unassumingly I have to repeat my entire past to see where I had met him. Towards the end I have to give him my number. I was gone flat in flattery. I told the same to my father and he had all the information that I have been trapped by some Indian intelligence. I was quite upset that my enthusiasm for the day which I got from talking to the strangers has to end like this. My fear got over when I finally got the call from these guys mentioning about the great business opportunity and that they are the Amway terrorists looking for mercenaries to do the direct marketing.
