So part of my job, I have to like... cold email business so they can join the website my work looks after. And I've been emailing back and forth with this one guy for almost a month now. Even called him a few times to talk, and yesterday someone bought a particular spot that this other guy was asking about.
And obviously we can't promise spots, it's like a first in best dressed situation. So this one business buys the spot, and we let him know that the spot he wanted is taken but if he wants to be in another spot we're happy to do that.
But he emails back like pretty much entitled af like "I don't want to be in a spot below this small business. My business is this big and and we have this many things" and I've emailed back like "sorry dude. Payment went through, this spot is great take it".
This arsehole just went and replied all (his associate was in the email as well) but said "hi associates name" and pretty much said like "I don't want to be in a lower spot compared to this smaller business. I don't want to work with them (meaning the business that my work looks after) if this is how they conduct business".
Such a fucking arsehole. Like it's so demeaning to this other business just because they're not as "big" as his business, and again, we can't promise a spot. He's dicked us around and wasted our time for almost a month, like... Ugh.
