Common Courtesy
« on: 25 January 2010, 10:53:03 »
Seems there a few people who like to mess people about >:(

Someone on the forum phoned me a couple of weeks back asking me all about a car I have that would have been for sale soon, I told him about all the work that had being done by myself, sent photo's etc. He asked me to get a car ready for them to pick up on the 25 January.
I have sent two PM's just to keep this person informed on the progress of the car.. MOT passed, Full Valet now done etc... I know they have opened the PM's and yet never had any reply.
I then sent another PM to make sure The Person wanted the car, again opened the PM but has not had the Common Courtesy to to reply.

Ah well

Sadly happens a lot.

I don't buy many cars but the number of times people have thanked me for turning up to view is amazing.  It seems it's normal to book a viewing and not show.

Tell David Cameron.  He seems to be realizing that our society is getting more selfish and inconsiderate by the minute.  I'm not sure he can/will do anything significant about it though. :(

It is not the fact that he obviously doesn't want the car now thats annoying, but the fact that he could have rung or PM'd to let me know.

Its bad enough when Ebayers do it, but one forum member doing it to another really is bad form. :(

I'm grieved to hear that D.  As Chris has so rightly said selfishness and inconsideration seem to be the rule rather than the exception today.

Sad times.  Here's a few  :-* :-* :-* :-* to cheer you up :y

I'm sorry to hear this Daz, I've been moaning to my missus a lot about how people only think about no. 1 these days and the 'everybody can go to Hell as long as I'm ok' attitude you see everywhere

Lots of everyday things that people do seem to irritate the hell out of me at the moment, I'm like Victor Meldrew a lot  ;D

As you say Daz- a phone call is the very least that the member can do.

I had the very same on another car forum last September from a member.

I did as you have & posted up in General Chat, they even made a public apology, but still they didn't keep their end of the deal.

Dissapointing on the communications side.  But look at the postive, at t least the car is now ready for sale and might just be what some one is looking for.

I was thinking the same thing, as for the person who has let Daz down, I know he was online at 0147 today.
