I had a SC without even having a job...

[HappyFun Ball]

I would pass the card along to the others.. But would give them a detailed desciption of the lady's behavior and let them decide if it's worth it.

Ditto to this. Send business there way and they may send some back.

[Pixilated]

"Toss and ignore" is a good idea, but have a reaction firmly set in the back of your mind (so you can run it on autopilot) should you ever run into this idiot again.

I'd call the number on the card from a pay phone (if you can find one), and say "I'm not taking the job." Then I'd hang up.

SC

I might consider this but would leave a message ONLY if I got a voice message system!!

Under no circumstances take the job! She will ride straight over you again.
If she has no way to find you again, toss the card and forget it. Otherwise you might get your father to call for you

This has possibilities, depending on what kind of sense of humour your father has ... "BEFORE I LET MY DAUGHTER WORK FOR YOU, I NEED TO INTERVIEW YOU. AND YOUR FAMILY. AND EVERYONE YOU PLAN TO INVITE OR HIRE THAT NIGHT. AND OF COURSE I'LL WANT TO INSPECT YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD AND YOUR HOUSE!"
If he can boom over anything she tries to say it could be quite funny.

Put the card in your wallet and keep it.

Next time someone from Amway confronts you, give them the card and tell them to call you, but you can't talk right now...

Draco, you are SO well-named. I doff my pointy hat to you!

You could also use this on any religious types who want to debate with or convert you ...

I've got to agree with the toss it or anonymous call responses so far. The only reason I'd call and tell her "no way" would be if the chances of running into her again were high and you wanted to (try) to prevent the mouth-frothing, "How dare you deny me! You ruined my party!" temper tantrum that she'd pull.

Or, wait for that to happen and then just look at her with a quizzical expression and say "Have we met?" Either one works.

Another good one. You could make her look like SUCH an idiot, hopefully in front of a large crowd.

Looks like SOMEPONY needs more Iron Will Assertiveness training ;D

If the SC had touched Mysty, she would probably have pulled back a broken wrist and dislocated elbow, but Mysty's not as evil, cynical and/or burned out as many of us here are.

C Lady: *something something Gladys will be so jealous something old bats something something motor mouth*

Call her and tell her Gladys made you a better offer to hold the party at her house.

I admire your views, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

And another vote for ditch the card. Not your fault she wouldn't listen to you.

[depechemodefan]

YOu ever see those homeless people with signs that say, "will work for food"? Hand the card to one of 'em and tell him/her if they know how to cook, you have a job for them /joking.

Or just show up, telling the other people invited you, act surprised when sc has a fit....Gladys et al will be intertained.

The sc who gave you the business card, what business does she own? I just wonder what job she can have that allows her to talk over people-she probably doesn't have repeat business.

@Nonstop Death Yeeeup! I've gone total Brutal Legend fangirl lately. Even now I ponder how Jack Black can be so nasty and yet Eddie can be so damn hot...

And I don't recall exactly what was on the card (it was burned this afternoon with the rest of the trash) but it was something about pools, I don't know if she sold them or accessories with them or cleaned them or what, but the address was on the ritzy side of town where all the "new money" as people call it, can be found.

Alas, if it had been a year ago, she might have had that card thrown back at her and cussed out, I've gone a little soft though, heh.

That's not a bad idea; if they can stand Madame Motormouth, they could make a pretty penny. If she pays them, that is.

Of course, I posted the above before I saw this:

So much for that. Still, imagine her face when her "caterer" never calls her, as the party looms closer and closer, and she just knows Gladys is going to give her all kinds of hell.

People like that aren't worth the effort to cuss them out.

[mhkohne]

So...uh...what do I do now?

Throw out the card - nothing good can come of contacting a nut job.

[sylvier]

Just chuck her card and don't worry about anything. Seems like she forgot to get your contact info, so no harm no foul.

(My specialty is food experimentation...coming up with new recipes, hacking restaurant recipes, new food combination, and cooking methods...not the sort of thing that applies well to someone's book club party...)

That actually sounds like you would make a good fit for one of those cooking shows (a la "Chopped") where they give you a bunch of seemingly unrelated "mystery ingredients" every round and challenge the chefs to make something cool and tasty out of them.

You are truly evil, sir.

"For a good time (if your fetish is being cutoff and interrupted), call: 867-5309"

Fixed it for you

Seriously, I don't know why calling this nutcase is a serious concern. Don't call her. Let her wonder what the hell happened to the chef she "contracted" for her party and get all worked up at the last minute when she realizes you aren't coming . . . .
