you are teaching your sister how to use her phone and your "sales" voice and speech pattern come out and then she looks at you all crazy and laughs... maybe thats just me. 😛
at least 50% of your friends are in the same business and you just talk about work when hanging out. basically alienating your friends who work elsewhere. 🤣

as said above- You can tell their credit within 5 words, and you know that looks don't really matter
Also you can tell what they want/need within the first few words they say.
For example:
Lady:I was on the phone with cust care last night ummmm.
Me: and you need a new SIM card
Lady: Yes blah blah blah reason for new sim card
or
old person: I don't
me: need a phone that txt/internet whatever
old person: yes...and repeats again several times that sentiment
