Do unto others....


So my sister calls me and informs me that THE hair dresser calls her to
see if she will keep her usual appointment.
REALLY? What part of the game is this??

I am thinking this over....
OK. Give me her number I will cancel your appointment for you.
I call....

(I know the sound of Ghetto when it answers the phone. )
So I politely inform her of who I was and why I was calling.
I also informed her that my sister would not be returning to her shop for ANY of her services.
"Why?"
(Ohhh pleasseeeee)


You know why. I further  told "Baps" that the comment she made to my sister was COMPLETELY
UNPROFESSIONAL and just down right RUDE!!!
" You hurt my sister's feelings and I do not like that."
"Who are you to say anything like that to her or anyone else?"
She tried to give me a pittiful  apology. Bamquesiha (that's not her name- just appropriate)
goes on to try to explain that she did not mean it like that.


Once again, "Really? Then how did you mean it?'
Nothing buts ,"umms " on the other end of the phone.
Enough is enough. I'm tired of listening to this lame excuse.
"LIKE I SAID.. You need to learn to be professional and stop being so judgemental..
and GHETTO!"
Click.

BIG SMILE...
I cannot stand injustice. Especially when it involves those who cannot defend themselves and my family.
I have to give it to myself, I was cool, calm, and collected.
But I made my point.
So, if there is anyone out there who thinks that you can get your "kicks" by trying to make the next man feel small.
Just remember this..
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.."

  4. You go girl! I think God totally hates when people mis-represent Him and what He's like...and to do so as a professional person is detestable. I"m sooooo happy you gave her what for so maybe she'll rethink her bad theology and not brutalize someone else strapped in her chair.

  8. *gulp, snort, gasp* OK - coffee just came out my nose at the "I know ghetto when it answers the phone" comment. Granted I wouldn't know ghetto if it bit me in the ass (white bread farm girl here), but I LOVE the thought of this silly you-know-what umming and ahhing and being totally caught out on the phone!!
