The thing is, most of the crankiness on their part comes from lack of knowledge of the home buying process and what they are paying for. It amazes me how many of them are making the biggest purchase they'll ever make in their lives and they don't read their warranties. They probably read their toaster warranty more thoroughly!Elizabeth Singletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16783873977558058632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-15118147712895026822011-02-22T02:22:13.015-08:002011-02-22T02:22:13.015-08:00I hate that it's always the crappy guests who ...I hate that it's always the crappy guests who can't wait to get home and fill out a negative survey (probably hoping that they'll get some kind of discount to come back and give yet another bad report). I wish they would just take their crappy attitude and cook/eat at home. <br /><br />I'm sorry that you don't feel well. A lot of people at my job have also been sick, so I know how hard it can be to come in when you just don't feel 100%.

I should've just called in Thursday too, but I'm so afraid of getting fired over something stupid!<br /><br />Kari, I've noticed the same thing. I don't always claim responsibility (although I always apologize), I try to avoid blaming anyone at all.<br /><br />Welcome, Elizabeth! I think any job involving customer service has its share of jerks. I'm sure when dealing with something as stressful as home ownership people get even more pissy!<br /><br />DMT, I'm more worried about HotPants' utter lack of regard for the situation!<br /><br />Kara, you're exactly right. He sucks!purplegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02952678339075163056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-1160592120861300782011-02-21T15:43:17.335-08:002011-02-21T15:43:17.335-08:00What a fucking moron.

You are too funny, and I enjoy reading your stories. I am always shocked (yet not surprised at the same time) at how people can treat other people in this world. It makes me sick. I would never put people serving me whether in a restaurant, store etc. through the shit some people do. I've worked in new home customer service for 15 years and boy the stories I could tell about how stupid and rude people are, are endless. People need to learn friggin' respect and common courtesy. Keep the stories coming, and I hope you feel better soon!Elizabeth Singletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16783873977558058632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-19095473720005808622011-02-21T11:27:23.272-08:002011-02-21T11:27:23.272-08:00When I worked at this little Irish Pub shit was co...When I worked at this little Irish Pub shit was constantly getting fucked up by the kitchen. I realized one day that customers always thought better of me if I told them I screwed up and not the kitchen. They always think if you blame the kitchen you're lying. Never once, in all the times I lied and said it was my fault was I stiffed. People loved that I was so 'honest'. People are so easy.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560327005791053603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-8670531205641150762011-02-21T04:22:07.446-08:002011-02-21T04:22:07.446-08:00I am so terribly sorry you are sick.

The last guy just hasn't had sex in...forever and is a cranky s.o.b.<br /><br />Take care and get better soon. Doctor sounds like a good idea if you don't get well soon.
