Well - years back, a very enthusiastic bar-owner was about to sign a contract for my services - he had the pen in his hand, poised above the line - very dramatic - when his wife appeared, and said, "You're not signing that, are you?" A look of astonishment came over his face, and he said, "You listened to the tape, didn't you? ... Didn't you like it?" She just rolled her eyes, turned her head and blew out some smoke, and said, "Go ahead ... " He said, "No, no - if you didn't like it ...."   

That's the closest I've come to the experience in question.

(And to this day, I blame that woman for my failure to become a rock-star).
