I have had to write twice this week "I do not wish to sound condescending but I assure you this message will sound exactly like that..."
In one case, I had to respond to a series of questions of why I was limiting a business transaction to people within an hour's drive from the site. I've then proceeded to suggest that they could pay for these items in advance site unseen but also agree to terms that would include no guarantee of performance or condition.
Considering the buyer has had white pages listings for their cell phone number in well over a dozen cities in the last decade, I kind of knew that I was inviting a psychotic reaction. Whew! I hit too close to home. I got a really nasty reply. I then proceeded to reply "...were you not on Dog the Bounty Hunter?" 😈😈😈😈 He wasn't, but I thought that was just the most entertaining way to respond to him.
I think humanity needs a good culling. I blame Facebook!
