Ways to Annoy a Tradeshow Model

1. Ask me if I work for this company or if my feet hurt.

2. Dear swag hoarder, if I was working a BIC pen promotion at $15 per hour, I would love to unload all these pens into your bag. However, we are at a tradeshow. Take one please. 

3. I was looking at your badge... And it says exhibitor... 

4. Mr. Security guard. I appreciate the safety you bring to this convention center... However, I forgot my badge and I promise you I am not trying to sneak into the Solar Energy Show for fun. Seriously? You won't let me in? 

5. Am I cold? Yes. 

6. Woa, woa, woa. I am honored that my 30 second pitch lead you to believe I am the CEO of this company. Let's hold those complex questions for someone who can answer them. 

7. BONUS I actually love working shows, but put any girl in 6 inch heels for 8 hours with 20,000 guys and she might get a little feisty :P
