So I moved.

Yeah, not far. I moved from Park Slope to Bensonhurst, mainly out of necessity. I LOVE my new place, it's near a train, it's big, and it has a small yard. Moving in February was interesting with all the snow, and there have been a few interesting occurrences since then. I think the most memorable of these, though, is that someone tried to sell me AMWAY products on the platform.

Mind you this wasn't while waiting for a train, but while exiting. I've been walking with a cane for the last 6 months, so I usually wait for traffic to migrate before i go down the stairs, and someone approached me as I was near the exit and asked me literally "Do you buy AMWAY products?"

This struck me for two distinct reasons:

1> He was trying to sell me a product line I know best as a joke from "I'm Gonna Git You, Sucka!".
2> He didn't ask if I wanted a specific product, he asked almost as if he were asking if I was a member of a secret society.

Has anyone here been approached in a similar manner? Does anyone here... buy AMWAY products?
