Just hopped off of a chat with a banker and realized that there are probably some hilarious/horror stories out there from undergraduate networking efforts.
Any memorable calls or interactions people have?

So I was a little stoned and talking to a non-alumni VP at a BB. I made him laugh 3 times in 5 minutes and he said – "You seem like a fun down-to-earth guy since you made me laugh. I will connect you with the recruiting team and make sure you get your first round." and call ended. By far the best call I've had.
