MLM, or multi-level marketing, is a very grey area. It is described as a way of promoting certain items along with an opportunity to sell them and encouraging others to do the same and build their own business. However, they are oddly similar to pyramid schemes, so no wonder why this Redditor was so upset after she was approached in her own house.
The post starts with OP saying she and her husband had hosted a party in honor of her husband's recent birthday. It was supposed to be a small gathering to have dinner to then go to a pub.
Many people were at the party, and OP only knew some of them. She described that there was a woman, Claire, who she was meeting for the first time, but since the moment they were introduced, something was off.
Claire was Harry's wife, a friend of OP's husband, and she came off as a pretty judgy person; yet, OP gave her the benefit of the doubt because she didn't talk to her as much. One moment OP realized she didn't buy mixers and went out to get them, but it only took her about ten minutes.
Those ten minutes were enough for Claire to take over the party. When OP returned, there was no music, and everyone was sitting in the living room; she noticed a table set up in the kitchen with products and flyers and recognized Claire was trying to host an MLM party.
