Fool Me Once, Shame on You. Fool Me Twice, Shame On Me.
Well I've been stewing in a pot of disbelief for a while now, so I guess it's time to let it boil over. I haven't written a "pissed off" post in over 2 years. (That's pretty good actually, this states the fact the MOST people are good,honest human beings)
I'm not sure who I'm more pissed off with...ME or the rotten B$%#H that pulled the buttercream over my eyes. ughhhh............... probably me.
This is how the story goes......................"LADY" calls up and orders 50 custom decorated cupcakes for a bridal shower,(keep in mind this is a returning customer...matter of fact she is a waitress at a restaurant that me and my husband frequent) I work with her budget and I make her 50 beautiful cupcakes.
Morning of pick up I get a phone call from the LADY....."Johnnie my car was broken into last night and my purse was stolen!" she says with sobbing in the background..(of course) "they stole my purse and the fixing's for the punch I'm serving."...... OK OK I believe her, because who steals punch for goodness sakes!!
LADY - " I worked a double shift yesterday to pay for this party, and now it's all gone." more sobbing.....
LADY- " Who ever broke into my car has no idea how this kind of stuff effects us HARD WORKING people" more sobbing..........
Now this lady has me hook line and sinker....why? Because I used to wait tables back in the day and I pulled MANY double-shifts to make ends meat.......so YES... I GET IT!!!! I know what it's like to put up with people's crap for a buck.
LADY- "I don't have the money to pay you, but I could pay you on Monday after I work Sunday" sobbing....
ME-"Ok no problem, I'm sorry this happened to you , stop in on Wednesday and you can pay me"
LADY- "Are you sure, thank you, God Bless You, I PROMISE I will be in to pay you and I will take good care of your cupcake stand"
(Oh yeah.. I let her borrow my very fancy cupcake stand)
Well a week passed.....nothing........then I remembered the stand, so after leaving countless messages she called me back and said "I 've been so busy at work, I'm not ignoring you, I will send my daughter in with the stand and the money"
Daughter brings in the stand....proceeds to tell how everyone LOVED the cupcakes and my mom will be in tomorrow with the money.
PRAHAHAHAHAHA I'm such an IDIOT!!!!
it's been over 6 weeks ago.........................
I'm not even sure what the moral of this story is...........that I'm a sucker.....some people suck......or maybe some people have such a HUGE set of balls that I'm not even sure how they drag them around!!!!
