Trying to be more understanding

The past 2 days had tested my patience. Big time.

As much as I wouldn't want to release the beast in me, I just couldn't when situation calls for it.

I had a deal with an online seller about a pair of shoes less than a week ago. We agreed to meet at St Leonards Station (Sydney) last night. Roughly 3 hours prior our meet I asked if it's okay to move the meet up place to Town Hall which was less than 30mins by train.

To my surprise, his reaction was hysterical. He called me disrespectful and many a word that pushed me to match his uproar. Never had I imagined that a simple question would burst this man's bubble. He could have just said no.

To make the long story about back and worth exchanges of points, he decided to sell the item to next in line - which was totally rude.

He even sent me screenshot proving that someone will be getting the item. To my dismay, I told him that he will be reported to the online community, but he blocked me after that.

Me being stubborn (Well, Jonah in the bible was indeed stubborn. I just live up to the name), I grabbed his personal photos and posted in the online selling platform describing him as a disrespectful seller. BUT that particular post was not approved to go live because of selling standards violation. So I just accepted and moved on.

However, after a few minutes someone sent me a message informing that the seller who just blocked me decided to honor his commitment. Of course, I obliged mainly because his price is the cheapest in the market. Period.

So he unblocked me and we started to chat again, and he confessed that his friend saw his face posted in the market. LOL! Why was it posted when it was not approved form the get go? Weird!

We met, and fulfilled the commitment. I had the shoes! Thank God!

 You wouldn't believe what happened the next morning. I'll tell you about it in my next post.
