Wow. I just spoke to a complete a****** over the phone just now. Well, it was actually this girl who wanted to sell me this set of 7 books. She quoted me a price a few days ago which I know I can get the complete set compiled into a single book for less than that. Anyway, it's a set of books which should be more costly than the single book right. And she gave me the impression that it was spanking NEW. Turns out she had to travel ALL THE bloody WAY back to the house which she kept the books in and the books weren't as new as I thought. I mean, what for should I buy those books if they're gonna cost more than a brand new unopened one and if she has to meet up at such a horrendous time, making me travel all around the world just to go to where she was. I politely said I wouldn't want them anymore since I'll have to travel all the way from home and at such an odd time if I could buy the book myself at about the same price (And it would be new btw). After that, she called my handphone and started spewing the words "Irresponsible" repeatedly. Saying she had to lug the heavy books around and that she wants to get rid of them asap cos they're too troublesome to be bringing around the whole day. What kind of a person who wants to sell somebody somethinng calls them irresponsible and acts so rudely in front of them? Bear in mind that she told me the books were new before I said I was interested in them. I told her that and she said OK that was something nobody expected. So? Whats the bloody problem then? I didn't expect they were gonna be used and old so shouldn't you at least be aware that I might say no? I did tell her in the beginning that I am very particular about the condition of my books. Besides, she said she lived near town. So. Maybe she wasn't thinking that she may actually drop her stupid heavy books at her own house on the way since she's at town? Come on. Use your brain man. What a dumbass. Anyway, I'm not the kind of person who'd pay for something I really don't want. In the end, she decided to lower the price somemore cos "she really didn't want to lug the heavy books around" (and that "she had been carrying them around the whole day already" Please.) I said ok. Since I'll have to borrow the silly kinokuniya card from someone before I can buy the book I want. And I apologised for "making her carry around her HEAVY books" and that "I'm really sorry cos I didn't expected something like (as preposterous as) this would happen". I really didn't have to yknow. And she really deserved to have the phone slammed down in her ear for being so angry and impatient at someone. You really can't assume that everyone's gonna want whatever rubbish you're selling and that people are going to bend to whatever demands you have. I mean HELLO? you have to lug the books around? What about me? I have to travel all the way to town later just to meet you at your odd timing. It's dinnertime yknow? And I might as well get myself a fresh unopen book rather than your musty ancient books that you bought how many dinosaur years ago? Sheesh. Anyway, her tone of voice rapidly changed to a cheery one when I relented. She said Nvm. it's ok :). Ok what. You should be apologising. What a spineless freak.

** Can you believe it? The first thing she said when I picked up the phone was to tell me I was irresponsible. Didn't even give me time to explain my case or even state how troubled she would be or even say that it would benefit her greatly if I got the books from her. Man. Who's the rude one lah. By right if you did that to anyone else there would be absolutely no chance anyone would buy whatever you were trying to sell. A very inexperienced, unreasonable, unprofessional and disorganised person with absolutely no manners indeed.
