The Bitching thread

[LeDodo]

It's the most respectful way to do it. I'm a SP with chronic illnesses and sadly, I have to cancel a couple of times. But, I ALWAYS put the deposits in a specific bank account before the appointment so it stays there if I have to cancel and give it back. Like you said, simple principle. My policy is that if I'm the one being canceled on, I keep the money and if I'm the one who is canceling, they have it back as soon as they see the canceling message.
I'm someone who is really transparent so I take the time to explain what's happening and how my situation impacts me. Thankfully, everyone has been understanding and comprehensive yet. They get their money back instantly and they appreciate my transparency so they tend to book again, which I deeply appreciate.

Well such transparency is fine as it manages expectations and will avoid potential frustration!

The reason why I havent posted on her thread is because I am still trying to be lenient/graceful in this situation, despite me probably being a massive idiot for that. It's always been an personal issue for me where I give people more grace than they clearly deserve.

It's cool that you're trying to be graceful, but you're talking about it here and I'm sure a bunch of guys messaged you to ask who it is and gossip.. but I do understand that you needed advice on this situation or just to vent

Can we get back to the plain old bitching here!

Hey! I was "regular" bitching just 2 hours ago! You're not the boss of me! Mind your P's and Q's mister!

Same. Lately I was asked to give more juicy details. And almost ended being the one not sharing information lol

I feel like some people just want you to show and tell and jerk off your story telling.

No, he wasn't really asking for juicy details. It was phrased pretty much just as I framed it above: "give me information. thanks" , as if it was a demand that he was entitled to, rather than a polite request. No preamble, not even a "hello", just "gimme".

I do extensive research and only choose from those I see with strong online presence, a reputation and I have a high chance of seeing as well. This is not infallible of course, as can be clearly seen here,

And there it is. It all works perfectly, most of the time, until it doesn't. You do the best you can with the information you have, but the system will break down again at some point. There's no real need to rationalize it, just as long as you recognize that that's what it will be like in the future too, and plan accordingly with whatever (if any) mitigating actions you take.

As we say in finance: past performance is no guarantee of future results.

I don't know if it's bitching but I took the subway today. There were few cars full of kids from a summer camp. They were everywhere: on the seats, standing, one on top of another and sitting right on the floor ...

It looked so chaotic

There's more than enough empirical evidence to support the hypothesis and the probabilities are extremely high. There's always an outlier who gets lucky of course. These are the people I ask to buy 6/49 tickets for me.

Yes, you’re being dumb about it. The scam was clear after she tried to rebrand this into a tour. Make the review and move on.
