OK. I got an attitude.
Against someone that I don't even know. A customer on eBay. Someone that bought something from me.
The thing is, the note that he or she wrote. It was about the shipping time of a phone.
Now, this person paid for it on a Sun. I mailed it Mon. Tue was Veterans' day. The phone still isn't there. Well, sweetie, what did you want me to do. Drive it there in person.
It was the tone of the letter she/he wrote.
"When did you finally go and actually mail the phone" OK, I didn't deserve that attitude. Maybe that person don't deserve mine. But, she/he has it. However, being hopelessly polite, I did write her/him a letter explaining that it went out with 2 other packages that had already been delivered so hers shouldn't be far behind. Maybe today or tomorrow. Told her what the USPS page said. Just Miss Manners, that's me. BUT, if I were to actually get to write what I wanted to...and really the only thing that is stopping me is my reputation on eBay, it would have been a much different letter.
Why do people always assume the worst. Why can't they be more like dogs? Unconditionally loyal. Not questioning your actions, just knowing that you will do the right thing. I guess that we as people have been taught the opposite though society as a whole. Where the top of this blog about says it all. How one human feels towards another. This is the attitude that we start with hoping to build from there. Or that is where I am getting to. I am fortunate enough to have a small circle of friends. My friends are genuine. True friends. I don't go for quantity. Quality is more important.
I can tell this person is a quantity person by the tone that she wrote a total stranger (me). I have wrote the "where is my item" letters many times, and always, always they have been polite with no bad things implied. So, my little customer I don't know, enjoy your phone, thanks for the purchase, but, Taz says it all today.
Til next time...
Just me.
