Man buys $1000 worth of MLM cookware against partner's wishes, partner refuses the 'gift' and ices him out: 'He has a history of buying me things after I explicitly say no, then getting upset'

One of my biggest fears is being at a party that turns into a multi-level marketing sales pitch. Maybe you think you're just going over to your friend's house for some rosé and finger foods, and suddenly someone brings out a brochure. They try to make it seem all casual like they're just asking you about what saucepans you use, and then wham you're accidentally dropping a band just to avoid having an awkward situation with your friend. Multi-level-marketing schemes are so predatory. They rely on your relationships with others and make you exploit them for cash. It's a quick and easy way to ruin a friendship in my humble opinion.

But what happens when someone you love is implicated in one? To what end will you go to appease their desperate cry for sales? Is it your job to get them out of there or do you just let sleeping dogs lie?
