[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know exactly what you’re talking about but I don’t have a name for it, it’s almost like this weird opaque people pleasing type thing, the friend or coworker that gave them the idea for something new doesn’t benefit at all.

It’s super annoying and I am totally guilty of it from time to time but only when it comes to this one friend, our respective spouses are aware of this and I find it equally annoying

OP here. Exactly! The person doesn’t even know one way or the other. It completely has to do with me and I can’t figure out why he feels the need to do this. [/quote]

it’s not personal, as I think about it I value my wife’s opinion over all others but for whatever reason I am vulnerable to this almost subliminal sales process that some people just have, for me it’s only the DW part of our closest couple friends.  
Its become a running joke, my wife will pitch something and I’ll maybe not agree and then she’ll say “maybe I should have Erin call you and maybe then you’ll think it’s a good idea!”

I don’t particularly value this other woman’s opinion on everything and I never go to her for advice but if Erin mentions at dinner that bounty is the best paper towel I’m gonna buy bounty, I know my wife has been pushing for bounty for years but all of a sudden it just sounds so much better coming from Erin. It’s ridiculous and stupid but please don’t take it personally lol

I’m sure your wife doesn’t think it’s a joke. You sound awful.[/quote]
