For those of you who have been around here long enough, you've probably seen me show my ass more than once. My mouth (or in the case of the BBS, my fingers) sometimes get way ahead of my brain when I get pissed off. Anyway, I went to look at some new trucks tonight on the way home from work, and while I was at the dealer, I had my vehicle appraised. Afterwards, I stepped into my vehicle to drive home, and the first thing I did was reach down for my cell phone to call my wife. It wasn't there! As a creature of habit, I just knew I had left it on the charger, but it was gone. Of course, my first fear was: Crap! someone swiped it. But, I walked back into the dealer and looked around for it and the sales person that was helping me. She wasn't there, so I asked the receptionist if I could use a phone. She said yes, so I called my cell phone and it rang and rang until it went into voice mail. The sales manager saw me, so he helped me out, and we went and looked in the truck I drove and it wasn't there either. I told him that I just knew it was on the charger, but I was starting to doubt myself. Because I was still pretty close to the office, I told him I'd go back and look there. I went back, but the phone wasn't there either. So....I called it again, and this time it rang once.....and went right to voice mail. After this, my first thought was: Crap! Someone has it, and they've turned it off. So, I called and talked to the manager and asked him to look around for it. In retrospect, he was as nice as could be.....though somewhat defensive. Objectively, I can say that I kept my cool in terms of the tone of my voice. Unfortunately though, he made some comment about maybe I should look around more thoroughly and have the service cut off, and I guess I didn't want to hear that, and the next thing I know, the following comes out of my mouth: "I'll do that, but I'm also going to discuss this with my wife when I get home, and she's an attorney. My phone is missing and all fingers point in one direction. So if you would, please ask around and maybe it will turn up." I said it in a nice tone of voice, but the content was horrible considering I had nothing to go on other than the fact that the phone behaved differently on the two calls. His immediate response was, "you're gonna feel real bad when you find that phone. My people aren't that way." Anyway, I just got home and sure enough, there's a message on my answering machine.....they found the phone in another truck that I had sat in. He was right.....I do feel bad. And I've got a bunch of egg on my face, AND I owe this guy an apology. I think I'm gonna go take a bubble bath.
thats hilarious.....it happens to best of us...just suck it up and apologize....just hope its not a DrofDunk your dealing with...jk
Yeah eating crow sucks. I'd apologize but go to another dealership. You're gonna give into these guys easier because of how you acted...
Maybe it was the manager(or maybe he was in on it), and with the fear of a lawsuit, he said it was in another truck. think of it that way and the apology comes out much easier. Its not as bad as what I did. I left my date at the restaurant, and forgot to pay for either of our dinners. I got a friend to give her a ride home, but still, she ended up paying.... And worse of all it was valentines day... I havn't heard from her since, but thats what you get for being an ass.
It probably would have been smart to have sent her flowers with the money she had to pay, with an apology attached.
I not only sent her flowers with a card and a 50 (dinner was 40) in it. I also offered another dinner, anyday , anywhere.... she never called back, or picked up my phone calls.... but o well. she wasnt that hot...
Hey Pole, I'm sure you had them shaking in their boots with that threat! I would have laughed really hard if you threatened me with that. Hey adeelsiddiqui, why did you leave your date at the restaraunt like that? Seems like the actions of someone needing to score some crack or something. My brother's old friend used to disappear like that and not come back for days after hanging out at the crack house. Please justify your action. Or, maybe it is unjustifiable which makes sense as to why she won't ever talk to you again.
After Christmas one year, the whole family went shopping. I was going to buy a a trimmer (beard trimmer, that is). When I took the one I found to the counter, I had a $100 bill in my hand. Another trimmer caught my attention, so I went over to look at it. When I got back over to the counter, the clerk told me how much the trimmer was. I thought I'd already given him the $100, and told him so. He was really sarcastic about the fact that I had not given him any money. (Sarcasm and arrogance tend to set me off like nothing else.) He was a "punk kid" who didn't like his job, and he wasn't going to go out of his way to pretend otherwise. His sarcastic remark was the only time he broke out of his apathetic monotone voice. So I got mad and said (as I opened my wallet), "I had a $100 bill when I walked in here a moment ago and it's...right here. Sorry." He went back to the apathetic monotone voice, and I got out of there as quickly as possible -- with my father-in-law laughing at me (in a good natured way, at least). I went home and shaved off my beard to alter my appearance. (Okay, not really.)
it was a just reason, my uncle called and said there was an emergency at home, come home ,and hung up... i wasnt about to sit around and ask permission to go home, so i left, the emergency was that he couldnt find a babysitter... f*****
Ping: Cheryl call me last night, lawsuit back on. Elaine: Why? Ping: She call you and your friends big liars. You think she nice girl? Wait till you see her in court. She's a shark! They call her the Terminator. She never lose a case. Now you make her mad. She double the damages. Hasta la vista, baby.
