I worked in our family's Idaho flooring business for 25 years. Back in the mid-1990's we had this huge roll of expensive, thick carpet (12 foot x 175 foot) shipped to us from the mill, in Georgia. But they sent us the wrong color. Rather than brown, it was a deep rich green.
The mill was at fault and quickly sent us the correct color.

Then asked us to keep (at a deep discount) and sell the green roll, rather than having pay to ship it back to Georgia. We kept the roll, green wasn't real popular back then, but we figured someone would buy it, given the quality and the low price we could put on it.

SMALL BACKSTORY:
We had this woman we called 'wing-nut' who lived here and she was the most ridiculous person/customer ever...or at least in the top 10. Some ten years before, she ordered carpet from us. She ordered off of a sample that was about 5 shades lighter than the color on the sample she actually wanted...insisting that the mills always make the carpets 5 shades darker than what the samples showed" Otherwise she wanted the darker color but chose the lighter color.

We Warned her that the carpet sell would be Final, as we told her if she wanted the darker color that is the color she should order. We required she pay for it in full and there would be no refund, for reasons of color. We knew she was going to get a light colored carpet. She got indignant about it...but signed. And, you all can guess what happened...the carpet she ordered matched perfectly with the sample she chose and did Not come 5 shades lighter to match the color she wanted. She threw a Big Stink about it, but we wouldn't budge and she had to have that carpet installed into her home or figure out a way to sell it on her own..we were not going to store it for her.

In spite of that...she came in 10 years later and sees that green roll we were sent on accident. This was high quality carpet, we priced it fairly due to getting a deep discount on it. She fell in love with it. The sample to it was a Perfect match...almost disappeared when it was lain on top of the roll. She insisted there were '2 shades' difference between the sample and the roll.
Then she asked if we could haul that Huge roll to her home and roll it out to see if it was the right shade of green for her living room.


This woman came in about once a week for 2 months, trying to haggle the price down more, complain that it just wasn't the right shade, that the sample was off by 2 shades...etc.
Then one Saturday, I had this young man, about 25 years old come in, tall, well muscled, pleasant to talk to...and he had a large log home he had built on his own, and wanted some high quality carpet to go into it. He saw the green carpet...excited about the low price on it and there was enough to do all the rooms in his log home. He paid for it with a credit card, we got it up on the carpet lifting machine and rolled it out to his pick up truck and managed to get it into his truck and off of the machine. The best thing about all of this, was I Knew 'Wing-nut" would be in on Monday....as she had been doing for a few months.

She threw a shit-fit when she saw the hole in the row of carpets where that green roll had been. Was angry with me because 'I knew she wanted that carpet" I told her that she had at least 2 months to buy it, and a young man came in, didn't even ask for a discount, paid for it AND hauled it away without needing us to deliver it! That didn't calm her down in the least, she left angry and never came back... YES!!! LOL

I don't understand how a person could give a "take it or leave it" offer and then be surprised it was sold to someone else for higher, let alone rant about it as if they wouldn't do the same.

A bit of a fun twist in 2nd and 3rd stories with the OPs revealing their own choosing beggary.

[myfavs]

For the Op wanting the bike -- Tough nuggies!!

[whistlerwind]

Second story, Bike shop: WTF? There was a reply from the owner from the shop explaining their side. It really does show the context of this shameless choosing beggar. The response should have been included.

The last story had the OP being entitled. Damn. It's her car, she can trash it if she wants to. Poor you, driving a dented car. At least your not walking!

[fcold]

Last one.

So she dented her own car? Who are you to DEMAND she fix it.

[_keiloke]

Offered very aggresively, you mean offered very entitledly and in a beggar fashion? Lmao

[bruceandrade]

Love your videos, John! I appreciate the much needed smiles!

[fcold]

ROFLMAO. Hardball negotiations go both ways. They told you the price, you offered a different price, they were nice and entertained your negotiations and countered and you left. You right they had a ready and willing buyer, it just was not you.

[bookvee]

With the car story, It'd be completely different if the mother in law actually DEMANDED she fix the car herself. Or tried to pin the whole thing on them as some sort of insurance scam. These are both things that would not surprise me. What DOES surprise me here is the lack of pretty much anything. Theyre not even trying to spin it to make themselves look better.

That story of the bloke and the bike, who couldn't visit the shop for the bike being held for him on the Monday, but turned up on the Tuesday. He tested it out of the shop and returned, and made an 'aggressive' offer for the bike, and if not accepted he would walk. He then walked out of the door for maybe 30 seconds (lol) to put his sun glasses into his truck....err, why, doesn't he have pockets? Then returned for haggle some more with the store staff, had to wait a bit because they were busy, but not busy enough in his estimation to deal with him. Mean time the bike was sold to someone else, He bleated that this was unacceptable, as he was there and wanted the bike he came for. Then walked out again swearing and whining.
To me the moral is, if you want to buy a certain bike and have it held over for him to buy, then sure haggle a bit for a lower price, but still buy it at the price given and take it away. Don't go and make a whining review saying that this bike shop is terrible, and doesn't treat their customers fairly and ethically and are a shady business as well... What a moron....:)

OP was borrowing her mother's car.
Mom needed to use that car for some reason.
Mom gets in an accident and chooses not to fix the car.
OP is complaining that her Mother won't fix it.
The car is still legally drivable.
I don't see a beggar here.

Wow, in just 3 minutes you got four views! I think you have some fans John 🤩

Don's Bikes sounds like a no-nonsense operation and you deserved what happened to you.
1) You failed to show on Monday as promised - you got lucky regardless of the previous 'on the floor for 2 months situation.)
2) You did indeed leave their business. WHY was it so important to put your sunglasses in your truck before concluding the deal? You showed all the signs of someone trying to further haggle a better price and they didn't take the bait.
They had another customer willing to pay more and they took that offer. You get no sympathy from here.

Choosing beggar with MOM's Car - Yeah - tough luck. Still her car and still her right to fix or not fix it. Until you have a title to the car or a legal agreement of the care and responsibilities for the car, it's not your choice. She offered you something nice and whoopsie it got damaged a little big hairy deal.
