It's a tiny little thing but I love it:

There are some sales reps who, when you say "I am too busy to even think about this right now; can you ping me in 3 months" will actually write you in three months. Every time it happens I want to give them a call on general principles.
"But why wouldn't you just tell them 'No.'"

Because I didn't want to say "No" I wanted to say "This seems in the zone where it's not clearly yes, not clearly no, and not so clearly worth exploring that I'm tying a string around my finger to remember it, but if you want to, sure"
Best variant ever.

"Got it; #{Date.today + 3.months}. What should I get ready for the call?" and by God Internets he had it ready.
