This is actually a small vent about what a dork my bf can be sometimes.
He got roped into going to a time share presentation. And worst of all he dragged me with him!!! We had to sit in this stupid conference room and watch a presenatation for 2 HOURS on SUNDAY AFTERNOON. All because they promised him a digital camera, which when we got it looks like it cost about $30. A few days ago he got a call that he "won" a prize and we had to watch a video in order to get it. The presentation actually wasn't too painful but when it came down to actually talking about $$$, the timeshare people were being so evasive. They were saying "how much are you willing to put up today?" because I guess there are different "levels" of timeshare. So we were asking how much it actually is and they kept saying "how much are you willing to put up?" It was so annoying.
Ugh! Whatever you get in exchange for going to the presentation is never worth all the trouble.
Have you ever seen the South Park episode where they do the timeshare thing in Aspen and the parents can't escape from it? Everything they do leads them right back to the salespeople. They go to the meeting in the morning and then at the end of the meeting the timeshare people are like "that wasn't the actual meeting. The meeting is after lunch." Then they finally get to go on the slopes and the ski lift brings them right back to the salespeople Then they call the police and the police are like "the only crime here is how you are missing out on this AWESOME deal" or something like that.
