You got to admit that Deon's review was funny.
Threads like this need to come with the poster's hoped for response emoticon (Fred!!)- Are you looking for emotional support? Or trying to learn and improve. (Please don't have a fit
)
If the first- Damn. Deon. What a low life. Life surely sucks but why you!?
If the second- Deon was probably responding to your tone of voice. Most likely you were frustrated by the bad reception and leaving the TV blaring definitely was not polite on Deon's side. My guess is that the response was more for your tone of voice than the content of what you said.
I am as guilty of that every once in a while too, particularly when frustrated..
I once (many years ago) talked to a price shopper and explained to her (politely I thought) that we are not the "McDonald of carpet cleaning." I meant no insult and was just trying to get my point across.
I did not get the job and she wrote a slashing review the gist of which was- He told me he was not the McDonald of carpet cleaning. Which is absolutely true, and though it was not meant as an insult, she took it as such.
We always have to be careful of what we say and how we say it. Because.............
Ya Never Know.
