I had a great laugh this morning... I was looking at some home improvement work and this guy completely failed. He wouldn't call when he told me he would and, combined with a Yelp review that said pretty much the same thing, even though he was highly recommended I just couldn't hire the guy. I sent him a dear John email because he's not answering his phone and, two days later, he calls acting as if nothing has happened and wants to stop by the house to finish the deal.
It is the George Costanza close! It's actually a real life thing! For those of you who don't know, in the TV show Seinfeld, George is character was fired from a job but just kept going as if nothing happened.
I've seen it all, even sexual favors to close a deal (or offers of) but this is a first.
