God....some people have no mannors!

I just phoned up about a horse for sale. The conversation went something like this:-

'Hi, I'm just phoning up to see if your horse is still for sale?'
'Which one?'
'15.2hh bay mare'
'Yea'
'Can you tell me a bit more about her please?' (advert said hardly anything!)
'What do you want to know?'
'A little about her history, what you have done with her, why you are selling her, is she good to handle, shoe/box/clip, what sort of ride is she, good on roads?'
'Errr, well... just hacking and she's young so of couse she's not going to be good on the roads!'
'Would it be possible to come and see her please?'
'When do you wana come?'
'Can you make Sunday at all?'
'F****** hell, that's too late, if I don't sell her this week, I will put her in foal to my stallion, that will be the easier option.'
'Are you free tomorrow at all then?'
'No, I've got someone coming in the morning and someone coming in the evening to look at her.'
'If it doesn't work out tomorrow, could you take my number and give me a ring and I could pop out and have a look?'
'For f*** sake, you want the horse so you phone me! I've had people phone up asking me 28 questions about my 'orse and by the 29th I turn round and tell them what I think of them.'

By this point, i'd had enough and put the phone down! Do people have no mannors these days?! grrrr! Sounded like a lovely horse as well.

donablue - I'm having the same problem. Then they get all sh*tty cos you won't let the horse move, even though you've clearly stated 'TO STAY AT PRESENT YARD'.

Horsey_Gal - be fair, she's doing YOU a favour by advertising her horse for sale!!! Why should she answer questions??? Bet the silly cow will be wondering why it hasn't sold!!!! If she's like that with people can you imagine what she's like with horses??? Can't stand rude people.

Is a hoof kicker like a tyre kicker then???
 
you should be able to see from the ad that they don't want q's asked! it's stunning, it's a genuine contender for 2012, anyone with a brain should be able to look at a photo and KNOW it's personality, it's quirks and that it's really worth 8k. you should be psychic and SEE it's everything you ever wanted...

Can I phone her? My name is mystic meg!
 
QR: How rude

Miles away from the convo I just had...

ME: Hello, is XXXXX still for sale? (Then long explanation re: what I want)

THEM: Yes he is and sounds spot on for you but unfortunately he has an abcess ATM and it has only just burst. You said you emailed, what is your email address.

ME: XYZ, yes I emailed last night.

THEM: No probs, what I shall do is make a note and then I will send you an email as soon as he is ready to be seen under saddle - is that OK with you?


Now THAT is professionalism!
