eBay Hits are High, Matchmaker Blows Me Off

Last week, Prude Dude finally got in touch with me about meeting with one of their representatives. I told them that I could meet them Sunday (today) at 11 am. Stacy said that they were staying at the Essex Hotel and that they'd email me later that day with more details. They never did. This morning at 10:45 I saw it was Elaine from Prude Dude calling to tell me that there is a lot of traffic due to a parade, and if I could leave a bit earlier to meet her in such n' such part of the lobby, that'd be great!

Guess what, Elaine? I'm not meeting you! What the hell kind of outfit is this? What, I'm going to hang around the Essex Hotel in a prom dress patiently waiting for the call which would tell me exactly where to go? I left her a scathing voicemail and the CEO a pissed off email. Looks like Stacy's in big trouble, as I've gotten two messsages since from her and Elaine both about how sorry they are that this happened, as I am a "MUST MEET"--apparently it says that on my file-- circled in big red letters. And according to the voicemails, they weren't even at the Essex but the W! "I'm so sorry for the mix-up, you see, Stacy is new..." explained Elaine.

"MUST MEET"

I can assure you, ladies from Prude Dude, I am not in a good mood. You most likely saved your lives by not "MUST MEET"ing me today.

maybe you should stick to the online services at least you don't have to deal with the middleman.

well, if it were me, I'd be pissed, then forgive and go and get some REALLY expensive coffee and muffin and maybe a full meal as well--and maybe drinks too--and whatever else fits in your pockets and purse--show them you are willing to forgive--but they are going to PAY!
Is that wrong?
