My girlfriend has a big family and a few of them are into numerous MLM's. They're the type of people who do well at them since they're willing to prey on their own family in order to make dozens of dollars. Early in our relationship my girlfriend was constantly broke after visiting her sister, aunt, or cousin, but we always had lots of spices, soap, and plastic dishes.

Eventually I realized that I didn't really have to be that nice to her family, and just started telling them "No." when they started their spiels, and my girlfriend got better at blaming me for not doing things her family wanted her to do. This has slowly extended to me just telling people "No." and asserting myself in all kinds of situations where you aren't really expected to.

Anyway, I knew a guy who briefly did door-to-door vacuum sales. His favorite part was talking to old people and getting to have cigarette breaks if he finished his route or whatever early. He eventually quit and was unemployed for a while and just chatted with his older neighbors and smoked cigarettes all day.
