I have a pact with myself no matter what, i will not let anything dampen the spirit of my joyous Friday but on the contrary i almost let a Micheal screw it up for me today during lunch, so the story goes.
Got to to know this Micheal who is a will writer, estate planner, financial consultant cum insurance agent through a good friend a year and half ago, back then i oked with me to tell me more about the will writing aspect of it, he took my number down but never called.
Then a few months down the road, crossed path with him again, he forgot my name but he knew who i was then he said something like this back then," Hey so when you wanna get your will written ?." i didn't mean rude so i responded, " can lah" and as usual he took my phone again and he was as if dissapeared in thin air untill this afternoon.
I saw him coming into the coffeeshop, i was trying to dodge him but he saw me, without asking he grabbed a seat and got himself sharing table with me, few pleasantries exchanged like " how are you" "How's business" then he asked again," so when are you going to get your will written?" he asked as if i owed him an explaination.
Feeling agitated, i bluffed him telling him that i did it already,done by my sister in law. Without asking further, he shot at me," Hey,(still cant remember my name), it is dangerous lah, you cannot let your relative draw up your will for your family," i was fuming at this junture though i didn't show it, i said" I could trust my sister in law"
At this point, he acted a bit professionally sensing my dipleasure i guess and said," so if you have anything you dont know can consult me" ok i said,cooled a bit already.
Not long after that he asked me another question," So where you keep your will", i said " with my sister" quickly he intercepted," Ai yo, you are not smart to do like that, dangerous lah."
I was mad but trying not to offend him, i chased finish my coffee"0" and telling him i got to run, he asked for my card, told him i didn't have it with me, he passed me his card, i declined telling him i could still remember his phone number (what a bull shit)
Frustrated back to the office, wrote about this unprofessionally professional will writer.............
P/S : Friday still the best
This fella must have been desperate for biz baru he comes to see you. Else when time is good he forgot about it. Smart of you not to entertain him.
ReplyDeletei always got problem with insurance agents. no offence, but I hate it when they call you repeatedly asking when you going to buy their insurance and somemore make the famous sentence "what if something happens to you?" repeatedly...as if macam curse me pulak...uhuhuhu....
ReplyDeleteu r far too nice, eugene! i'm so straight forward i'd jst tell him i gv him my number two times and he didn't bother to call. so since he's not interested, i'd let someone else write my will! THERE! ruin his friday better than let him ruin yours!
ReplyDeleteactually can write yourself one.. and let your witnesses keep a copy.. i do it myself, got a sample from reliable sources..
ReplyDeleteHe is waiting for you to give him business, but he just lost it. hehe
ReplyDeletesome people can be really annoying ... but dun let them ruin ur spirit and joy over the weekends ...
ReplyDeleteHappy friday
Sometimes it's pity some friends who go into the sales line trying hard to close sales with their friends and not concerned about hurting the friendship. Perhaps money more important ?
ReplyDeleteya, actually can write on our own n entrusted someone to keep a copy.
ReplyDeleteHaha :D He was trying to do his job...but he used the wrong words. :p
ReplyDeletehahaha....i do support friends in sales or direct sales last time...will join as member but hardly commit...but when times they keep pushing me to buy stuff...dats it ler...will leave.
ReplyDeleteI think I understand how annoyed you're feeling then! Yes, friday's still the best!don't let him ruin it!
ReplyDeleteJust don't let one guy annoys you. I think you have all the "excuses" to ignore these people.
