From SlushPile Hell:

5 Things You May Not Want to Say to an Agent at a Writers’ Conference

1. “You look a lot thinner on your web site.”
2. “How are your kids doing? It was so cute how they surprised you with waffles for breakfast last Saturday. At least I think it was waffles, it was hard to tell from outside your window.”
3. “Is it true that agents are just frustrated writers?”
4. “You know, you and I are the same blood type.”
5. “I’d like to share an important message with you from the Book of Mormon.”

Maybe we should ask an editor for a proper reply.

"My attorney will be contacting you directly regarding your choice of breakfast venues." Nah, way too grim.

They forgot the Things Not To Do, including shoving your manuscript under the door of the toilet stall in the ladies' room while an agent is inside.
