MattR 177 Posted January 8, 2019 i would have said the customers who dont do as they promised- 'i'll let you know' until 613am today when Paul and Karen rang to let me know 'they wont be going any further with the Nissan Note' Why would you think calling at 613 in the morning is a reasonable thing to do?

I'm guessing Karen gave Paul the knockback! Paul immediately took the huff and said "well your not getting your new car then!" ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOACROSS 414 Posted January 8, 2019 They’d probably thought you wouldn’t answer at that time of day (I wouldn’t) and that they could leave a cowardly voicemail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave2302 387 Posted January 8, 2019 I leave my "Work" Mobile in the workshop when I shut the doors at 7pm, and obviously do not answer that or the business Land Line any time outside 7am to 7pm Monday to Friday. Customers are allowed to come to the Business between 8am and 6 pm Mon to Fri, any other times for collection / delivery of Cars they get told, leave Keys or keys left at xxx place, just drop it off / pick it up and go, do not knock at House !! One local years ago thought he could knock at our House all sorts of times at night, he got bluntly told the first time and second time I have fucked him off and will never do any business with him again New Customers get politely told the rules. That is the only drawback of working next to my home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either most had small cocks or didn't stand/sit close enough to the bog. And if they flushed the bog and cleaned their shit streaks that was considered a bonus...one of the more unpleasent parts of the job. Shit streaks? Most of the ungrateful greedy scum I’ve recently encountered wouldn’t give you the steam off their shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOACROSS 414 Posted January 9, 2019 This is my thoughts and I’m just introverted/shy ;o) but I often wonder whether the likes of Nick, EPV, AD, Rory etc actually may pick up sales from proudly saying who they are: as they’re clearly coming over as the honourable set ups they are- and I can see a punter checking out what stock they have etc and shopping with them. 4 minutes ago, Max Branning said: Yes anyone who is openly giving there business name / website away is asking for trouble..."customers" are fully aware of the posts on here !

NOACROSS 414 Posted January 9, 2019 My old man used to go wild about this. Even if they weren’t blocking the drive. Seemed to think he owned the road too. He would block them in and refuse to move when they wanted to go. I remember feeling well embarrassed at the arguments. As for people speeding down the (residential) road. If he was on the drive working on a car (usually with me having to hold things and fetch stuff) and heard them coming, he would launch a large socket or spanner at them/in front of them as they came past. One guy clipped a parked car in utter panic. Dead now, but always up for aggravation my dad. Never understood it at he was always angry at something-but it worked.

That's how I got when I lived in SE, "There is always some C*nt" Thankfully these days due to location and I'm getting older and at long last wiser I just laugh at the stupid pricks nowadays, and it is rare for anyone to rile me now. A tourist last summer was getting really nasty with Mel in a local shop, I had that twat round the throat in a millisecond and growled at him, he soon ran away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
