Chit Chat

Wow...

I never thought something like this would ever happen... So I'm at work today (I work at a pet store part time for some pocket change) and I am helping a really rude senior lady. She's being awful the whole time - but hey it's retail... I just smile/nod try to get her the fuck out of there. No big deal. Then she asks to see my e-ring... I limply hold out my hand so she can see because I'll be honest... I was fuming at this point... She had already called my other coworker stupid (who's my bosses niece and only 15) and she was just being a real pain in the ass with snippy comments. Then she says something that sounds like "Oh it's custom"... I don't even say anything yet she keeps going... "Oh I have all these REAL diamond rings at home... Some REAL gemstone ones too" REALLY EMPHASIZING the word real. Then she goes as much as to say "You know my niece has a COSTUME ering too, I don't get you people" ... Then it hit me - she said costume not custom. Now my fiance worked his butt off to be able to afford the ring I have, so I was really taken back and mentioned "Oh, it's not costume ..." Now let me tell you... This lady actually had the NERVE to tell me I was LYING. She said no way was it real, the diamonds are too clear yadada. Telling me I was ripped off and THE BEST PART... Someone who works here could NEVER have a ring like that... Excuse me?! Fuck off. I straight up told her... "You're ignorant and I will not be assisting you any longer" and she screams "Well I'm not the one who tries passing my rings off as real" Now, I've had my ring appraised ... Plus I know where fiance got it since we have to go for 6 month check ups for the warranty. Lady I'm PRETTY DAMN SURE it's real, so just STFU. I have been pissed off by this lady ALL damn day. I just can't believe the nerve... Plus why would it even be her buisness?! We ended up not even selling the lady the harness she wanted and was told she wasn't welcome there. My boss stood behind me 100% because I'm an extremely patient person and she knows she must have really been NUTS. UGH rant.

  • What a bizarre encounter.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  • Honestly... I think she was just miserable.
    I had spent a good 20 minutes fitting her dog for a harness and she wasn't happy about anything.

    The colour options... The store allowing cats to be up for adoption...  Her dog not staying still for the fitting... Calling my other coworker stupid...

  • ...wow... 

    I'm so sorry. Glad your boss backed you up though!

    My ring is modest and inexpensive and perfect for me. FI picked it out, and I love it. If anyone dared say anything about my ring not being "worthy" they would become quite intimately acquainted with it. In their eyeball.

  • Right? I just don't know who raised these people?
    Why would you say anything but nice things about someones e-ring?

    If you don't have anything nice to say...

    GREAT ADVICE FOR ALL HUMAN BEINGS. There was someone on here who wore a twist tie until she/her FI could afford the ring they wanted, I think. You gonna say something about HER ring? Crazy betch.*

    (*words I would likely have been muttering under my breath all day after this happened. Not referring to anyone in this thread, or on the boards. Please don't delete me!!! D: )

  • Right? Like even if it wasn't real... It's an e-ring... Like shut up, you're not wearing it lady whats your concern? The fact that she even talked down about her own niece...

    Ugh, thanks guys for listening to my vent. It's really been pissing me off all day.

    I'm sorry you had such a shitty day. How is it possible to be that much of a c***?

    At least your boss backed you up 100% and she got kicked out. I'd be surprised if she hasn't been kicked out of other stores or establishments before.

    ETA: I feel sorry for her dog.

  • Yeah poor little thing. She just kept screaming "WINSTON STAY STILL. I TOLD YOU WE NEEDED A HARNESS" ... Poor little Winston, cute little thing too. He wasn't even misbehaving... Just acting like you know... A dog.

    My first thought. I work in a facility where we care for people who have advanced dementia and they say things nobody would ever think to say. Sorry she was rude but try to brush it off as she is most likely I'll.

  • Wow, sounds like a miserable old bitch to me. Hooha's all dried up, no dick to make it feel better and all her kids and grandkids probably abandoned her. Also, maybe mental sickness, can't joke about that. However, I love the way you kept it classy with "lady" :)

  • Evil Chipmunk would have been just as rude and responded "so are there real diamonds and gemstones on the stick up your @$$?" before walking away.

    DH and I used my grandma's diamond ring for my E-ring. We had it reset to fit me, and DH picked out the setting. I've had someone say "oh, so he didn't really get you a ring." In a tone implying my ring wasn't good enough/special enough/not  a real engagement.

     My response was "DH was kind enough to honor my beloved grandmother and incorporate something that had great sentimental meaning to me in our engagement. Plus my grandma was thrilled to give 'my handsome fella' {her words} the ring to make it extra special....and if you have a problem with this, please note, the cut used on this diamond has not been used for 100 years now- only European royals have diamonds cut like mine these days, princess."

    Sorry you had to deal with that OP. People are stupid.
  • Crazy old lady.

  • Can you imagine being her niece? Ew.

  • I had a coworker about 15 years ago who had just gotten engaged. Her ring was beautiful and probably over 1 carat.

    She was waiting on this woman who's husband was the president of some company.  This woman had like a 10 carat ring. 

    Anyway she told my co worker" oh nice ring, don't worry you can upgrade later".

    What?

  • On the bright side- she thought your ring was so nice that she couldn't believe you had it. That has to be worth something! I'm glad your manager stood up for you- the customer is not always right, sometimes they are just assholes.

  • I didn't even think of that - her poor niece. I've cooled down now thankfully, no one crazy at work today. Thanks girls, I'm going to just let it go now and hope to never see her again. Yeah my boss is a lovely lady.

  • I've told FI to just put me down if I become that kind of old lady.

  • This is why I am glad I no longer work in retail. I could not handle the people screaming at me day in and day out. I will gladly take the office job over bawling my eyes out every day.

    I'm sure when BF proposes with the peridot ring he chooses I'll hear some things from people since it isn't a diamond. I don't want a diamond. His birthstone is peridot. I want that. But that's not for another few more years.

  • What a bitch.

    I got berated today because couldn't tell what shade of blue someone was DESCRIBING OVER THE PHONE. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOOLE?!
