Why won't they ever admit that they are wrong, EVER?
Looking for a new place. The realtor tells me he has a listing and asks me to text him my email. I do.
Nothing. Another text. "Oh, I sent it." Send it again. Nothing. Another text. By the way, check the address. People often leave out my middle initial. "I sent it twice and it wasn't kicked back." Yeah, I know. The guy who has the same email as me except for the middle initial gets them. Sooo, I'm lying or my email reception is bad, right? Just text me your email. Ok, now attach the email and reply. Nothing.
They just don't listen.
Simple negotiations. An agreement is reached. The agreement is put in writing. No objection to the agreement. The meeting to sign the agreement. "Oh, that's not what I agreed to." Yes it is. That's why I made the concessions that I did. Because you agreed. Were you listening?
A joke is made. A "zinger" at person A. Person A gets it, laughs and zings you back. Good clean fun. Meanwhile, person B, who is present for the exchange, doesn't get it and takes offense. The joke and it's intended mark are explained to person B. Later, person B comes to you to ask a favor because you "owe" her for that joke. Wha?? Were you listening?
Oh well, now you know.
