Getting Even

Sometimes we get bitten and we have an opportunity to get even.

TRUE STORY
1. A new car dealer used to run dayshift and afternoon shift in his service department. It was decided to close the afternoon shift

A tradesman on afternoon shift was promised the same wages etc if he transfers to dayshift when the complete nightshift section closes down.

So he goes over to dayshift.

First payday his paypackets real light.

He sees service manager who tells him he aint gunna get the same money on dayshift.

Tradesmen tells SM to put an ad in the paper for another tradesman.

Then he goes back to the workshop. Packs his tools and walks out, telling the leading hand on his way that he'll hafta give the half finished job he was working on to someone else.

Then he goes home.

Said dealership tried to get him to go back for a few months before they gave up.

Who else knows a good get even??????????

Do several 1/2 jobs... when the customer has slammed the service counter and the management hits you up... sorry can only do 1/2 the job because thats what you pay me for, then walk out.

Where is TRUE STORY 2......?

Al :?

just waiting to see if other good stories come up first

A mate of mine used to run a 4wd tractor and a slasher and contract to slash paddocks and blocks. There was one customer who owns a large block on which he runs a tourism based business. The bloke was a chronic slow payer, months would pass and he often wouldn't pay until his place needed slashing again. My mate had finally been paid for his last job and this bloke contacted him to slash his block. My mate told him he'd be there in the next week or so. He din't turn up. After a while the bloke contacted him again reminding him that his services were required. My mate again told him he'd be there soon but there'd been a hold up. This continued on for quite some time with variations, blown hydraulic hoses, illnesses, truck problems etc etc. When my mate was really sure that the place was well and truly overgrown (2m high Guinea grass) he told the customer he'd changed his mind and didn't want the job as the bloke was such a slow payer.:oo: :2tsup:

From a full-service station: The cashier watched as the old attendant filled a car, washed the window, then jumped out the way as the horn went off and the car screamed out the servo and headed north without payment.

The old guy walked in and told the attendant to call the cops to get them, to which the young guy said, "don't be stupid, they'll be miles away". The old attendant replied "nope, only about one mile max, I heard them laughing about how they were going to do a runner so I filled it with diesel".

I like that one Groggy, just proves "the older the wiser".
