I then promptly got yelled at by my manager for breaking the first rule of selling cars, which is never talk to another salesmen's customer, even though all we talked about was the Redskins lol.

You were building rapport with her which is her salemen's job not yours.

Yeah, I know. I already received that lesson from my ex-boss. I honestly still don't care about it though, because I wasn't the one who struck up the conversation. I know I'm in the wrong on this one, but idc. There's a reason I don't sell cars anymore .

I hear you, to you/me you were just being nice to career sale's folks you were eating into their profits. Unless you think like them; sales is not for you or me.
