Um, No, I Wouldn’t Mistake That

8 am and 11 am don’t sound alike. I would­n’t write down an 11 am appoint­ment as 8 am. Nope, I would­n’t have.

So, Mr. Pest Con­trol man, don’t try to BS me and claim that I must have writ­ten it down wrong in my cal­en­dar. I have been wait­ing for you for over two hours, and I have four oth­er appoint­ments today. I don’t have time for this non­sense. I could have got­ten more much-need­ed sleep if you had­n’t pulled this crap.

If I did­n’t REALLY need you to come to deal with a spi­der prob­lem today, you would have one less cus­tomer right now. You might find your­self short a cus­tomer by next quar­ter, in any case.
