So she went back to the store to complain, and the salesman agreed to personally investigate the problem. He arrived just in time to see the wardrobe collapse once more as a train passed by. Puzzled by the malfunction, he decided to rebuild the wardrobe and sit inside it to see if he could stop it from collapsing.
Seconds after the salesman climbed inside, the woman's husband arrived home. Seeing the wardrobe door half open, he peered in and saw the salesman crouching inside.
"What the heck are you doing here?" the husband boomed angrily.
The salesman replied: "You're probably not going to believe this, but I'm waiting for a train."
Moral of the story. True sales professionals know that in order to succeed they should not take work home with them, or worse, follow work to someone else's home after regular business hours. If you do continue to take your work home with you too often; that light at the end of the tunnel, will eventually be a train.
