OMG! SC in my kitchen!

[portia911]

Had a few friends over for a BBQ on Sunday. My friend Vic was bringing her BF that I hadn't met so they arrive and help themselves to some glasses while I am upstairs. I come down to say hi and who should the BF be but one of the most memorable SC I have ever had!

I nearly died. Turns out he is a bloody nice guy IRL.

So...had we gotten this terrible SC story of the guy that isn't that bad when he isn't buying something....or returning something....or whatever he was doing?

[karath]

I've gotta agree with Aethian...is this story on the board already? If not, do tell!

(I thought the irony gods had been a little quiet lately, looks like they've decided to say hello to you now!)

[portia911]

Probably from ages ago. In short he came in wanted discounts on everything spent about 45 minutes earbashing me on how I should reduce the prices beacuse he was so bloody special and then got super shitty when I kept telling him no.

Turns out he'd just got back from 2 months in India and was still in haggling mode

I've worked with people who were jerks to work with, but lovely people away from work. That being said, you can gauge a person's character by how he/she treats animals, children, and people in the service industry. He may "seem" like a nice guy, but I'd still have my doubts. Did he at least apologize for being a douchewaffle?

[Beckpatton]

Did he remember you at all??

[Lachrymose]

I don't know.

I still subscribe to the rule that anyone who is rude to those serving them isn't a nice person.

I hope you gave him a bloody good raking on being a decent customer!!!

He's not nice IRL. It's just that IRL, the possibility exists that he might get called to task on who he really is. People are who they really are only when there are no consequences, if that makes sense. I'm betting Adolph Hitler could probably conduct himself decently around his friends.

What a great story!

I had something similar happen, but instead it was a rude restaurant manager. I ran into him 2 years later at a social event and I reminded him of the incident in front of everyone. -D

And that is supposed to excuse/explain it away?


I don't think so.

[dithers66]

Shoulda kicked him out of your house and told your friend about him being an Asshole. Bet she'll discover his bad side sooner or later anyways.

Does that mean he recognized you and was at least embarrassed enough to offer and apology? Did you tell your friend about his douchey-waffely-ness?

And to those who say, no excuse: sorry, India is just like that. It is haggling to a degree that I from my US standards would consider downright hostile, let alone rude.

Sorry! That was just the most despicable person I could think of at the moment.
