It’s time for a ranting, if ever a time for a ranting there was!

******Updated January 12, 2010 – Someone has attatched a stat counter to this article (no, not me,) and can be seen in my referrers when they check this. Subtle, chargeback guy, very subtle.*******

I realize Mercury and Mars are both retrograde, but for the love of all things holy and unholy, WTF is wrong with some people?

Case in point, I was offering readings, and a fellow paid for his and then tried to get a time slot which had been sold off before he could get it for himself. I told him I didn’t have that time available and asked if I could fit him in on the 6th or 7th January. Next thing I know, with no warning nor any indication that he was dissatisfied with me, he institutes a claim of “item not received” which is ridiculous – how can an item be received, its a service? Furthermore, no one told me it was “I get the 2pm slot or I am going to forcibly drain your account of my payment,” for the play of the day. Had I known this was such an important time to him, I’d have given it to him. Had I known he’d claim I was a theif for not giving him the time slot, I’d refund the payment long before we could discuss availability at other times. So, he puts in a claim of “Item not received” and forcibly drains my account of money with no warning whatsoever. Not because I did anything wrong, mind you, but because he wanted an unavailable time slot. He basically told me to call him then on his wanted time slot, and he’d drop his claim. I was like “No fucking way, the time you wanted was taken by someone else, not that I refused to schedule you, and you can drop your false claim at any time. I don’t give in to blackmail nor do I acknowledge this behavior by rewarding you with a time slot for lying about me.” When I was busy doing the reading in the time slot he wanted, he then escalated the claim to an official chargeback. In a very short period of time, it was judged in my favor (of course,) and I was awarded the stolen money back. No doubt someone is writing out pages of lies in my dishonor on some site because I was awarded that he was making false claims, and that his bullshit would not stand up to rewarding him any monies.

Mind you, this all could have been settled by emailing me and I would have refunded the money AS SOON AS HE TOLD ME HE WOULD ONLY TAKE THE 2p SLOT. I’m actually not sorry I had sold the time he wanted, but I’m sorry he took it to this level! As it were, I was ready to refund him because he was insisting on a bunch of special priveledges like getting unscheduled calls and the like.

Either way, he’ll be paying for his mistakes very dearly as I’m a vindictive C U Next Tuesday if you decide to be so rude, but he can rest assured that, after the exact amount of time has passed that this amount was held by PayPal over his fucking false claims, that he can have it back…because, kiddies, you know what the real kicker here is? That he’d pulled this shit in the past and I instantly refunded him before he could make a claim, and I’ve never hesitated to refund him! Mind you, I’ve never spoken directly to this psychopath in my whole life! He keeps buying readings and pretending he can’t figure out email or that his emails are not received (he blocks me out of his emails and then I use one of my other ones, and lo and behold those work great,) lol, and I keep saying “I schedule readings only by email, if you can’t comply with that, please accept the full refund for services as I cannot render them without first scheduling your reading.” And that’s like my whole interactions with him for years now.

But at least I’m enough of a dick to hold his money for a few hours just to teach him a lesson…he’ll get it back, but let’s hope he’s quaking for awhile wondering if he will. 😀 (Yep, I’m that immature, and yep, the shadenfruede of watching someone who antagonized me struggle a bit is something I enjoy occaisionally…if I were younger I’d be making $100 in to pennies and mailing it to him, hehe, but in my old age now I just will hold it for ah, refund assessment until about noon tomorrow, hehe.) Tomorrow, its his $$$ again, and I don’t want his cursed money…but I can’t help that feel my own need to antagonize my antagonizer just took my own character down a notch. Ah well, I don’t believe in any karma other than Ms Karma Zain anyhow.

This comes on the tail of a November and December where I could barely eat or pay my bills due to sluggish sales (thanks economy!) and now I get my bank account sodomized by this creep because he can’t be bothered to contact me directly to schedule a reading. His little ass-rape of my account actually cost me $45!

Nice!

So, does anyone else wanna pick a fight with me today, or can I consider myself done being antagonized for no good reason?

With that being said, you can all thank that guy for encouraging me NOT to give readings for the forseeable future. I mean, if people will do the equivellant of beating me upside the head, holding me down, and forcibly stealing money out of my pockets over a scheduling dispute (when if I’d been asked nicely, you could have the money back, no problem, and without a refund assessment period of at least 12 hours,) why should I schedule anyone at all? Obviously the risk of selling the desired reading spot is one I know to be a common risk – everyone wants the same times…with that in mind, I choose not to put myself in danger of another person trying to rob me instead of being courteous enough to not try to hold monies hostage in the hopes I’ll tell my 2-3pm reading to go screw so he can have their reading spot.

Ah, which makes this better, because I had to also refund my 2p reading today (that’s right, the person who got this dude’s desired time slot.) That person got an instant refund though, as would anyone if I was, for some reason, not able to do their reading for them. So…like I made a negative profit today. That was awesome!

I’m sure he’s read this and stopped quaking though. That’s right fucko, I actually have more character than you, and I’m actually a better person than you, and you get your money back….the refund assessment period of 12 or so hours is just my gift to you to give you time to think about being such a complete jackass.
