I am so angry (vent)
I am so angry!! This isn't a problem where I need any advice, but I need to
vent. Some of you know that I adopted a beautiful blind kitty (Duffy) several months ago. Today I had my windows and carpets cleaned. I used the same man who has done this cleaning for a number of years -- but this will be my last time. First he started to laugh when he saw the cat tree I got for Duffy and Holly. I could handle that alright -- I am not emotionally attached to furniture. However, when I explained that Duffy is blind and what I was trying to accomplish with some of the cat furniture, he started laughing again and laughed so hard he couldn't stop. He would stop momentarily, then say "A blind cat -- that is so funny -- why didn't you just get rid of it and get a healthy cat" and would laugh again. When I would intervene, he would say "I'm sorry," then start laughing uproariously all over again and say, "But it's just so funny that you would spend all that money on a blind cat." This whole thing made me so angry I can hardly describe what I feel. What kind of heartless monster would react like that?? Anyway, it will be his last time here. I am going to find someone else for the future. -- MaryL (take out the litter to reply) Photos of Holly and Duffy: http://tinyurl.com/8y54 (introducing Duffy to Holly) http://tinyurl.com/8y56 (Duffy and Holly "settle in") |

Oh my God! What a total a*shole!! I hope you call and tell them exactly
why you're not using them. And maybe send them some cat poop in a paper bag... MaryL wrote: I am so angry!! This isn't a problem where I need any advice, but I need to vent.

I know you didn't ask for advice but if you haven't already I would consider calling the business owner and explain just why they lost your business. At the very least it might make you feel better. Take care. rrb |

This whole thing made me so angry I can hardly describe what I feel. What
kind of heartless monster would react like that?? Anyway, it will be his last time here. I am going to find someone else for the future. -- MaryL (take out the litter to reply) Mary, I am so sorry that happened to you. You were much more gracious than I would have been. I'm afraid I would have thrown him out of my house, and called to lodge a complaint with the company. What it is, is sad really. He sounds actually very ignorant, in the sense that he's just not very bright and has no empathy or compassion. Think what his poor family puts up with. Sheesh. This is making me angry, too and I wasn't even there. When he said "Why don't you get rid of it and get a healthy cat"..youshould have said, "Why don't I just get rid of YOU and hire a decent human being. There's the door." Sherry |

Take care. rrb This *is* the business owner. It's a very small cleaning business with only the owner and 2 or 3 employees. He has now lost a steady customer -- and I am still mulling over the question of whether I should call or write to let him know *why* he has lost a customer of several years' standing. He already knows I am upset by his attitude, but I did not tell him that this was his last time here. MaryL |
