tightwads
« on: November 25, 2004, 01:22:21 AM »
I've decided I hate working for tightwads. Mostly, this would be the potential customers who call me.

I can understand people having a budget that they have to work with, but tightwads are something else.

Tightwads for some arrogant reason think they know what everything should cost. Not what is does cost, but what in their delusional minds what things should cost, no matter what the item or service is. This includes some mystical, unknown understanding of inflation, labor costs and material costs. And surprisingly, almost everything is higher than what they think it should cost. So they harass poor customer service workers and managers to get the price they think something should cost and not what the people who produce the product or service say it costs.

I think I will petition for the tightwad complex to be punishable.
