Damned if you do; damned if you don’t. You just can’t please some people.
Now one time a woman had a very miserable man (it wasn’t me that she had). So in an effort to put a spark in the relationship, she decided to serve him breakfast in bed. One morning, she took two eggs and scrambled them for his breakfast. However, when she served him the dish of scrambled eggs, the man start to cuss and get on bad. He said he wanted his eggs boiled.
Not wanting to repeat the same mistake, the next morning the lady decided she would boil the two eggs for him. However, when she served him the boiled eggs, he start cussing and said he wanted his eggs scrambled. Frustrated, but not giving up, the following morning she decided to cover all bases, so she boiled one egg and scrambled the next, but when she served him he behaved even worse.
The lady reminded him of the mornings before and how hard he was to please, that’s why she scrambled one egg and boiled the other. The man still cussing, called her an idiot and told her that she scrambled the wrong egg and boiled the wrong one. The egg she boiled he wanted scrambled, and the egg she scrambled he wanted boiled.
That’s why I started out by saying damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Cause last week Friday, the NCF postponed the Pic-O-De-Crop Finals until the following day. This was done as a precaution because we were expecting some bad weather. However not a drop of rain fell the evening or the night, causing many people to cuss the NCF. Many people said the competition could have gone on. But hindsight is 20/20.
I could bet you, that had the competition gone on Friday night and midway through a mini hurricane came along and washed out everything, these same people would be cussing, saying that the NCF knew in advance bad weather was coming and they could have postponed it til the next day.
Anyhow, on another note, I often wonder about customer service in this place. A few years ago, I went into an eatery that I normally frequented. I bought a portion of macaroni pie for my daughter. The pie had a dry look about it, so I asked the serving lady to pour a spoonful of gravy on it for me. She told me that would be an additional $2.
I explained to her I did not want a bucketful of gravy, all I wanted was a lil dab. She again told me the gravy was $2. Well I left the pie there, and them never get another cent from me since.
But I does hear some stories that does make me laugh. A girl once told me, that because her teeth were very sensitive she tried to avoid using ice, so one time she was in a certain place and she called for a drink without ice. The lady told her it was the company’s policy that all drinks had to be served with ice. She called for the supervisor and was told the same thing.
Well I know why this is so, the trick is, these people does full your glass with nuff ice and give you two drops of drink. Now I just heard about another place, that if you don’t want any ice in your drink you have to pay 50 cents more for the drink. Well, well, well.
See ya.
