What is it with some people these days that they are so inconsiderate?
A friend is buying a used car from this family in a nice part of town.
She went and looked at the car, liked it, test drove it, the price was right and she was ready to buy on the spot. The guy though, hemmed and hawed and said, he didn't have the title
on him, he'd have to go to his office the next day and get it. So she signed a promissory note, and put some money down.
My friend called me to see if I would drive her up there (about 20 miles away) the next day to get the car. I said sure. So all day, we wait for this guy to call to say he has the title so we can go. As it gets later and later, we decide we're now waiting for the guy to call to tell us why he still doesn't have the title.
My friend finally calls the guy, leaves a message. We wait another few hours and he calls back to say he lost the keys to his office - WTF?
- and he'll have to get the title when he's at the office Monday. So my friend tells the guy she can be there after work Monday around 7 pm. He agrees.
So here it is, nearly 6:30 pm. I'm waiting for my friend and she calls me, furious. The guy called and left her a message saying,
"Oh, I'm heading for football practice, call me when you get this message."
Um did he forget they made plans to meet to buy the car and turn over title? In about a half-hour? So she's now called him back and had to leave another message. She was pissed and giving him the benefit of the doubt told him she was on her way to his house and she hoped he left the title with his wife to finalize the sale.
We're waiting on a response.
