Why do people feel the need to mess you about?!

As title!

I had a lady phone me up a week ago asking about one of my horse's i had advertised for ''share'' - she came to see said horse one evening end of last week - afterwards we had a chat, both her and myself were happy and sorted out which days we would do, costs etc. She even asked if she could show my horse at a local show coming up.

We half arranged for her to come at the weekend, she wasn't sure if she could so said she would let me know - i heard nothing.

I text her today to ask if she was still interested, she has just sent one back saying she wants a horse on full loan, not share so she can do what she likes etc.

SHE contacted me in the first place regarding my horse for SHARE! Surely, she should of thought about whether she wanted a full loan or share before responding to ads.

Surprisingly she is the same woman who messed me about with my fields for rent - i thought id be nice and give her a second chance seeing as she's only down the road!

I feel like texting her something back

Don't get me started.

Over the course of the last YEAR in the search for a loan pony for my daughter, and most especially, after having been messed about monumentally, during the last month as we desperately tried to get her a pony *in time for camp* it has come to my attention that we are clearly advertising, posting and talking in SERBO CROAT because we are sure as hell not speaking the same language as some of the people we have seen on our Round Britain Extravaganza!

I'll never forget trying to find a farm to look at a horse, EVENTUALLY found the place after numerous calls to say we couldn't find them, first words out of the guys mouth when we got there were, "cum to luk at oss av yer" yes I replied, we had rather a lot of trouble finding you as there isn't a sign anywhere to tell me the farms name, nar they aint one he said, it went downhill from that point

, can it jump I asked, oh yes they says, it tripped over the pole on the floor

, I picked it's back foot up and it tied to kick me, arrr she always does that, when were they going to tell me, when my teeth were hanging out

I could go on yes some people are a waste of time

i went to look at one once, very nice horse.

was feeling his hind legs and watching the owner (i like to chat to the owner as i check legs so i can watch their face, lol), and JUST as i was going to find something dodgy and the owner was looking nervous she said 'OH, BY THE WAY DID I MENTION HES GOT A SIDE-BONE, THATS WHY WE CANT SHOW HIM ANY MORE?'

no you, didnt, you cow bag, lol, else i wouldnt have come all this way...

Isn't just horse related, we have an appointment system at work, we're a mail order co, and people can come in to shop/view by appointment one morning a week. No-one ever turns up on time, so we have chopped an hour off the last time we give out so we can ensure to get the post out and get away for the school run, and about 1/3 don't turn up on the day some of whom ring and re arrange later the next week
