You know the old saying the ‘customer is allways right’ but in this case this dude sounds desperate and has no patience.
It’s obviouse that he has no inner-game, which seems to me that he will have no hope in hell to attract any sort of woman, now or in the future, he is a die hard alpha male. The sort where the real men or women would not tolerate that sort of behaviour. No-one would dare talk to me in that way for my friends would pumble him on my behalf.
I’ve met those type of people before, and I would’nt give them the time of day, yet alone a refund.

Well, by very definition you cannot reason with unreasonable people.

But when they attempt to pull your heart strings in order to fuel their lack or reason, that’s just flat-our manipulation.

Key here is the use of exaggerated descriptors (e.g. “humiliation”) and accelerated timelines in an attempt to disrupt your wholly reasonable response.

My personal favorite line:

“If you’re a real CEO, you would help me out right away.”

I’m so sure that’s how the free-market business world works these days…LOL. And the next time my Linksys router misconfigures, I’m going to get that John Chambers SOB on the phone, too.

Glad you liked it. We all had a good laugh. Normally I don’t waste my time, but some people are so funny you kind of want to see what they’ll do next.

As of 1:29pm today (Thursday), nothing further…yet.

Some people are too crazy! I’ve dealt with a few like this in my time.

I hear meth really messes with your sense of time…

I don’t know what else to say other than LOL.

Proof in point that sometimes you have to “fire your customers”…

I also doubt that this “conversation” would have happened in the same way in a face-to-face setting.

Gentlemen, if you wouldn’t say it to someone’s face… don’t say it in an email or forum post…
