Useless too, I guess.<\/p>\n
It is aimed at people who probably won\u2019t even read this.<\/p>\n
But just in case (and I really want to get it out of my system).<\/p>\n

So\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is about the prowlers.<\/p>\n
The digital cold callers.<\/p>\n
The assholes who shamelessly play the social media numbers game (and they can be both male and female).<\/p>\n
The fresh connections on Facebook or LinkedIn who jump straight into your private message box with openings like \u2018Hi, thanks for connecting, what is it you do?\u2019<\/p>\n
Really?<\/p>\n
You have some mutual friends so you accepted the request, but they have no clue who you are and what you actually do.<\/p>\n
Yet here they are.<\/p>\n
It will take them two or three lines before dropping their \u2018Program to earn a 6 figure income\u2019, \u2018System for unlimited high-end clients\u2019, or whatever amazing bitcoin investment thing they\u2019ve got going on.<\/p>\n
They may consider themselves to be \u2018Coaches of Coaches who Coach Coaches\u2019 or \u2018Social Media Funnel Experts\u2019, they may try to flatter me with shiny platitudes (\u2018You\u2019re obviously a changemaker in your profession!\u2019) but they\u2019re only there to sell you something.<\/p>\n
Something you didn\u2019t fucking ask for.<\/p>\n
Which means they\u2019re essentially invading your privacy.<\/p>\n
And this, my fellow earthlings, frustrates THE SHIT out of me.<\/p>\n
There are only a few things left in my life that make me aggressive, vindictive, and fairly dangerous, and this is one of them.<\/p>\n
If I REALLY wanted what you have to sell, I’d have asked for it.<\/p>\n
So if it\u2019s your daily marketing practice to harass people you don\u2019t know and you DO happen to read this: never ever pull this shit on me<\/em>.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t want me to unflatteringly mention you and your website and your email in a couple of my blogs, right?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n —<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (Photo by @asarodger, for Unsplash)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is gonna be a weird little post.
