What would you do?

[wasd999]

Just this morning while I'm working (Philippine time is 8:00am) that I suddenly
had a pang for revenge...

A web forum that kicked my butt because they envied my achievements, so I decided
to take a peek at their little world.

They had this chat box, and started there by the pretense of selling, they got angry
for the price is too high for them (but in reality, it was the lowest).

So they started insulting my ware and remembered me as the "kid" they kicked off.
So I showed off telling them that I know they can't have these things for free.

That this are custom made stuff from the USA and not CHINA.
They're a bunch of cheapskates, not knowing how to value an object "not" by its price,
but by its quality.

So I left them angry because I knew they can't afford these things, and yet,
a 21 yr. old guy beats the 50-60 yr. old cheapskates who can't handle it.

And even told them I work for the money, NOT BEG.
I'm not accustomed to begging, my grandfather taught me that.
 
So, if you were I, back then as a kid. And now had the opportunity to avenge,
what would you do?

Revenge, as satisfying as it may be, doesnt really help in the long run. It may depend on the situation, but I think knowledge and learning is a bit more important with this sort of thing. I guess what I am trying to say is dont avenge. Maybe try to reteach them in their wrong ways. I dont know, my own opinion. People like that, usually dont learn because of their own narrow-mindedness.

Vengeance is the easy way out. Don't let them get the best of you. You are a good person just point them in the right direction and leave it. That always works for me.

The 10 Commandments of Customer Service:

1) Thou shalt pretend the customer is right, even when they are wrong.

2) Thou shalt pretend the customer is not rude.

3) Thou shalt ignore all customers who are not the one directly in front of their face.

4) Thou shalt not laugh, make faces or otherwise insult the customer's stupidity unless out of earshot.

5) Thou shalt pretend the customer is not an idiot.

6) Thou shalt tell the customer exactly what he/she wants to hear, whether it's the truth or not. Otherwise you shall feel their wrath.

7) Thou shalt pretend your only purpose in life is to serve the customer. You do not have a personal life.

8 ) Thou shalt not attempt to reason with angry customers. This only further infuriates them.

9) Thou shalt not ignore a customer seeking help, even if on break.

10) Thou shalt resist the urge to drop kick the terrible customer no matter how rude, insensitive, annoying, or stupid they are.

These apply to all customers no matter their race, religion, temperament, personality, or intelligence level. Unless they insult your mother. In which case all bet are off.

i think i might need to copy those for the guy that runs the regular shop parts in our supermarket. He sometimes just laughs at costumers with idiotic questions. I think its funny when they look like their heads are gonna explode

Go ahead my friend, my works are not copyrighted. 

[sjorsjo91]

Thank the force they aren't haha. Nah i think he would be rather pissed when i hand him this. That and the fact that i like angry costumers with explodified heads because of him haha

[wasd999]

I second that, I'll copy that nice creed for sellers. 

[Caine]

Dude, just ignore them and don't go back to that website. It serves you no purpose to interact with people who are rude like that.

True. Nobody likes a real fight, and that's all seeking revenge is gonna get you. The way I see it, a real fight is only worthwhile for a couple of reasons.
1. To defend an innocent from harm.
2. To defend yourself from harm.

and possibly 3. When somebody crosses the line and blatantly insults/attacks/makes fun of the woman you love in an outright hurtful fashion simply because they can when she doesn't deserve it and you need to kick some ___ to the flippin' curb. One could classify 3 as part of 1. Though 3 probably comes a little close to getting vengeful, so you've gotta be careful with it. Rather like form 7 lightsaber combat, if I'm not mistaken... XD

This is one of those moments when you ask yourself what the sword is for. Now I might be getting all philosophical and I'm fine with that, but the sword is a giver. When it strikes, it has to be with a generous purpose in mind. Revenge isn't generous. In the more extreme sense, the sword that kills should save a hundred lives, so the Zen masters say. Battle wisely and save your strength for what matters, man.

Advices stored in memory bank. Thank you guys, been flanked heavy with
the dark side. The temptation was there, but I let it go away now.

You won't believe me if I told you I shed a tear there....

This, by far the most helpful, thoughtful internet community I've ever
been in my entire life. I pray it stays that way till I ascend with the force.
