networking nightmares

I run a small business and since lockdown have been doing a few online networking groups.
I actually do it more for a bit of “social interaction” than with really drumming up business in mind.

But God some of the people...

There seems to be certain types

  1. The MLM bot who asks if you’d like to make money from home and won’t stop - erm this is a group of business owners - why would be start flogging Younique?
  1. The pushy follow up - adds you on LinkedIn - send you 59 messages asking if you’d like to use their printing services when you don’t actually print anything
  1. The technophobe (this is a new one).
They appear as a tiny half a pinhead in the corner of your screen and take five minutes trying to find the unmute button then promptly dissapear and then spend the “group” part asking why they can’t do x,y or z

Am I missing some?
