Subway Salesmen

It must really suck to be a Subway Salesman. These guys are worse than telemarketers...

They roll their loot around with them all day on the subway hoping for a sale. They give their spiel in every car, always the same fake enthusiasm. They sell things like water bottle coolers, arm covers, razors and crazy adhesives.

All of the passengers try to avoid eye contact because that would mean that you are interested in buying the crap, and most often nobody is. They could sell something immediately useful, like water or food or coffee, but nooo... they sell random things that you'd otherwise never think you needed.

Sometimes there will be good one, like once I saw a guy selling that little tool that seals bags. He did the demonstration where you fill the bag with water and then seal right down the middle so that it separates in the center but no water spill out; its just in two different compartments. That was impressive considering we were on the subway and the extent of his subway infomercial was above and beyond what I had seen. Not to mention he had charisma... he probably knew that his product was way more bad ass than arm warmers or water bottle coolers.
