Why do some people always try and get out of paying or delaying payment to the point when it embarrasses you.

Now I always help people out where I can, so if the farrier is coming, I ask if anyone else needs him etc (otherwise you get orrh why didn't you let me know he was coming kinda thing) which is fine.

I put my self out with phone calls and seeing to her horse being shod on the condition that she drops the money off for the farrier the next evening (as he was down at our yard twice) which is fine, happy to do that

What does she do...turns up last night, farrier was there busy shoeing his other clients horse, she's busy lingering in the car park, then darts to my stable ''hiya I'm in hiding, I said why? (thinking she was on about something else perhaps) and asked, have you remembered the money? no that's why I've been in the car park and I've come in here to hide'' and proceeded to laugh like it was it was some kinda joke!

I sighed, you said you'd have the money, oh its ok I can post it she said, hmmm me thinks did he say that?

, yeah right

, have you got his address then?,...erh errr well no, but he said I can pay him next time.

Really...hmmm I wondered to my self.

Spoke to farrier just now, he told her make sure she dropped it off...never mentioned posting it and asked me to chase her up

so why do people lie, do they think I came down in the rain?

It really annoys me, not only do I put myself out but I end up paying the farrier more for my own because he didn't have any change (which is fine), but its cost me £70.00 in the last 4 weeks for my own horse, yet someone else gets there horse shod, seen to, pays nothing then tries their hardest to get away with not paying.. £50!

arhhhhh!!!!!!! I'm not going to bother next time, its not fare on the farrier and it makes me look an daft.

I stopped doing that sort of thing after a bunch of us from the yard and some 'odd' friends went out for a meal The bill came to nearly £300 and as some had only brought cards with them and the restaurant wouldn't split the bill up, I put the lot on my card and got promises from those without cash to pay me over the next week as I saw them. Needless to say I ended extremely out of pocket.
 
Its ok, I've calmed down now ....its just after speaking the farrier, and when their your supposed to be a friend, you dont expect to them feel like that have to lie to you and try worming there way out of something, when you know its because they coudnt be bothered in the first place to even come up and catch their horse and stand there for a bit while it gets shod.

I've got over it, I just needed to go arhhh!! and dkfoijweoihkmna on my pc ...
grin.gif
to take my fustration out...think i need chocolate?

Feel better now....hmm where's that address

I had this earlier in the week with the dentist. Had booked Bob & another pony in, pony's loaners assuered me they'd be there (offered to sort ponio if they left the money). Needless to say they were a complete no-show.

I couldn't apologise enough to the dentist. He basically said to just sort myself out and not get involved with other people as they always let you down!!!

Kenzo, you deserve a good rant, you are too often the voice of reason on this forum
smile.gif


It's really annoying when people put you in that position and I dont' see why you should end up paying more for shoes! Can you not give your farrier a cheque to avoid the no change issue?

Dunno what you can do about people that won't pay, there are plenty of tehm out there, sometime I hope it's just people being forgetful but obviously in this case the girl knew fine well and found it amusing
