you need to also be able to laugh at people who try to pull that off in real life. Have had a few of those in my time, as probably most people have. Initially I tried to be 'professional', but have learned to be more blunt as those happen. To be sure, it's happened less over the last few years, but I don't know how much of that is there's an actual shift in peoples' expectations, and how much I'm just not networking as much :)
