I run across this situation with people every once in a while and what the thought process could be is just baffling to me. I had a business appointment today at a client's home. Same client had stood me up last week after we had set everything up and I drove about 30 minutes out to his house, so I called him as I was packing up to go verify. He didn't answer, which seems to be his normal mode of operation; so I left a VM where I identified myself, my company, our appt., etc., etc. and asked him to call me back and confirm that appointment is still on before I spend the time and money to drive all the way out there again. About 5 minutes later as I'm walking out the door of the office he returns my call and says: "I just got a voice mail from this number so I was calling to see who it was and what you wanted!"
So I took a couple minutes of my time to call and leave him a message that explained everything about the purpose of my call and what I need from him, but to him it wasn't worth his time to listen to that but found it more appropriate to call me back and cause me to spend the time to explain it all again. That to me just puts the lid on rude, and is the epitome of a MF ass clown.
Now here's the kicker. Even though we were only about 45 minutes out from the appointment time and he was just as calm as could be, he claimed that he would have to reschedule because he was on the way to the hospital with this wife for a medical emergency. I'm trying to decide if there is any profitable reason for me to keep pursuing this douche bag. I think I'm wasting my time. What do you think?
