He Is a Life Coach

He told us that he was a life coach. What is your training? I asked. I had never heard of this. I was trained by life. So …..no training whatsoever Yet he is charging people a hundred dollars an hour? Can they bill their insurance? They can try. Will their insurance pay it? I doubt it. What do you teach people to do? Enjoy life. Here is my card. Recommend me to your friends. He was self-assured to ridiculously pompous and arrogant. I took ten cards; to get them out of the hands of others. He was exceedingly pleased and offered me fifty cents for each person who came with a card and told him I had recommended him. Give me ten more cards I said. His smile was wider than the state of California is long. I was amazed that he could not tell by my face what I was thinking. I guess his life experience is not as complete as he thinks.

Don't you just abhor people like this? You should have knocked him in the head and confiscated all of his cards! Perhaps a good head-banging might have awakened him to reality.

I can't stand the guy in the Progressive ads! If he ever came into my living room and threw my sofa cushions on the floor, I'd knock him in the head with the nearest vase.

There are too many to mention; this is but one of thousands of "self-touted-experts".
