RANT! When something stupid RUINS my day!

OKay so before you read, this is a RANT!!

I’m SO PISSED OFF! It’s something stupid, but it just went right up my behind sideways!!!!

Okay so I’m working SUPER hard on a costume for the convention I go to each year. Thsi year I am doing Kyuubi, the 9 tailed fox from Naruto. So anyway, I have been looking for fur ALL over the internet and being super picky because I want this to be my best costume yet! I outsorced the head from an expert, but I’m making the rest of of it. Body, hands, feet, tails, claws, etc and so forth.

So I FINALLY find the PERFECT FUR!

the 3rd one down right here …

The orange one

So I’m in LOVE with it right! So I have to email them to place an order, cool! So there’s a number to call, I call and get the answering machine. (not surprising, it was around 7-8 at night so I’m guessing they’re closed) So I emailed asking if they had enough for what I needed (between 10-15 yards) and if so I would like to place an order. I got an email back almost immediately saying they “don’t have much left and won’t be taking any new orders until after X-mas. Mark”

Okay, so I email back saying “Oh no! Do you happen to know how much you have left on hand, maybe I can make do if it’s close to what I need.” I get an email back saying “please reread your first email”

So now I’m thinking, okay, they must have listed the amount and I missed it like an idiot right? Stupid me as usual? I re read it…… okay…. I didn’t miss anything so I’m a little confused. I email back saying “I’m sorry, but I must have missed where you mentioned how much you had left, I understand you’re not taking any orders until after X-mas, that’s fine. By not much left do you mean 1 or 2 yards, or 6 or 7 yards? I’m confused. I have no problem waiting until after X-mas to place the order, or do you know when you may be getting more in?”

SO THEN! I get the NASTIEST EMAIL EVER!

“Look! I don’t know who you think you are but I just can’t drop everything to go and measure some fur for you! Do you realize it’s the Friday before Christmas and it’s 8 PM! You should try and be more patient because I’m sure as hell not getting this done tonight! I know we have a bolt left but I don’t know how much is on it so if you can’t wait then too bad!”

WTF!!! I was SO MAD!!! I wrote back

“WOW! I realize it’s the Christmas season, I myself work in retail and snapping at me like that was REALLY UNNECESSARY and very unprofessional. I was just asking a question. I didn’t know you had to go measure it by hand, how am I supposed to know how your establishement works? In any case, instead of sending me an email saying to “reread the first email” as if I’m an idiot you could have just said “I’m sorry, I can’t measure it right now but I can let you know after X-mas” or SOMETHING to that effect. I can’t place the order until after Christmas anyway right? There was no need to be a complete JERK!”

So then he writes back “and a very merry christmas to you too!”

WHAT A JERK!!!!! GAH!!!!! *screams/insert curse words* I wanted that fur so bad too and now I can’t even wait for them to get more in stock I’m so pissed I don’t even want to order from that jerk! I REALLY want to write back that he should be grateful to be even getting business with an attitude like that but I just dropped it and I don’t even want to write back again. I’m just SO PISSED OFF!

SO yeah… if anyone has any free time to google to look for a fur just like this one feel free. I have been looking for HOURS! I can’t find anything even close! Not in this country anyway *cries* I wanted a 2″ fur in a burnt orange color, but I don’t like ANYTHING as much as I liked this one. I loved the little black hairs that made if look like a “realistic fantasy” color. *sigh* I’m SO DISSAPPOINTED!

DAMMIT! This just RUINED MY DAY! I’m so mad now…. it’s like one of those customers that have an attitude with you for NO REASON and complain to your manager when you didn’t do ANYTHING wrong but try to help them. That just how I feel.

DUDE! Like this lady who RIPPED MY HEAD off over the phone the other day too about her appliance order. I got yelled at about what what a bunch of idiots we have working here for about 20 minutes before she mentioned the name “Lowes” …. yeah…… I was like “Um ma’am….. this is Home Depot…..not Lowes” She didn’t even apoogize… she was just like *long pause* “Oh…. it is?” *click*

GAH! RAWWWR! 🙄 🙄 🙄

I thought about that, I know his name was Mark, but I don’t know if he’s the boxx or what. I certainly hope he’s not customer service!

Anyway, that’s a good point that I would have been a good customer. Of that there is no doubt. It’s definately the season, but still. I’m still pissed. I’m debating on calling, but I’m not sure.

Well, I think I might give it another try after the new year when they are open again. Someone who buys from them told me that that guy is always a jerk and to call and talk to the lady at the front desk. They said she’s really nice. 😕

I wonder….

Thank you for the advice everyone!

I whole heartedly agree with all of you, but *whines* I REALLY want this fur. Yea! I laughed when I read through the page and they went on and on in MULTIPLE paragraphs about how they’r ehere to help with my project needs whatever they may be… they have A LOT of fine print, but nothing I wasn’t willing to work with. *sigh* Anyway… I guess I’ll have to call the front desk at the end of they year. I keep getting an answering machine saying they are not taking new orders until the 1st so I suppose I have about a week to cool off and for that guy to forget about me.

Thanks Siberakh, I know you always have my back with this stuff. I’m actually convincing Shaun to drass as Gaara so we’ll both be from the same series! YAY! I’m even going to dye his hair and if I can convice him even more, he can wear those cool aqua contacts! hehehehe! I’ll have my very own little Gaara! ROFL!

bayoudragon, do you know the series? I know you dabble in anime and liked my Gaara Keeper. So when my suit is done should I post it here for you! 😉
