rich fucks

i had some unsavoury incidents with some rich fucks today...why are some of these people so rude and stingy? sigh...

incident 1:

i just went to see two customers today...the first stays somewhere along stevens road...they have 4 cars...at least there were 4 there when i reached...1 x toyota camry, 1 x merc s500, 1 x merc s55, & 1 x rolls royce...i believe the daughter drives a merc slk too. ANYWAY, i just needed the auntie of the house to sign a freaking document worth $400...for some services that my company had already provided for her. first of all, she was talking to this director of my company who also happened to be there, with me next to his side...then she invited him into the house, and just as i was taking my shoes off to follow suit, she shut the door right in my face...wtf. nevermind...i am a patient salesperson, and so i waited outside the house with my contractors, who were already starting the installations...but when she finally came out, she actually had the nerve to walk right past me without even glancing in my direction, and straight into the waiting chauffeur and merc s500...well done. my company's director actually looked at me and smiled, and actually apologized on her behalf, but i was a bit red by then...both out of embarrassment and anger...embarrassment cuz my contractors were probably thinking: "hahaha...account manager so what?? also small fuck what!!!"...anger cuz i didn't manage to get anything signed, and basically wasted my time there. but then again, the whole family is fat and ugly...so i guess God is fair.


incident 2:

the second customer i went to see was a middle-aged couple...also stays in a well off area...somewhere in bukit timah...this time, the house wasn't contructed yet...they have a 2-storey bungalow with a kick-ass basement and swimming pool. the view faces a lot of greenery and forest, with a long balcony at the side...you have to see it to be as astounded as me...it was a damn nice house...even though it's still in it's construction stages. when i reached i saw 1 x jaguar (can't remember the model) and 1 x bmw suv (can't remember the model either) in the driveway. ANYWAY, i was there to propose some other installations that my company could do for them blah blah blah...but they were just freaking stingy about EVERYTHING..."huh? this costs $300??? don't you have anything cheaper?? like those made in taiwan ones?"...i can deal with the first few comments, but once they start with the "cheapo" taiwan nonsense, i can get quite defensive at times...you can insult me, my company, whatever else you want...but you fuck with my homeland, you're asking for trouble...you might as well insult my family in the same sentence too. let me stray a bit from the story...not EVERYTHING in taiwan is cheap and unreliable...just because we manufacture efficiently and hence give people more cost savings, people tend to get all fucking nasty when the thing starts to fail...come on lah...which piece of machinery / electronics doesn't fail once in a while??? my lousy-ass hewlett packard pda handphone was made in japan and assembled in singapore...it's the WORST piece of crap i've used...and it's less than 3 years old...so should i be condemning japan and singapore too? hmmm...coming back to my story though...i wasn't really in the mood to bargain with yet another rich fuck who can't be bothered to be civil to another human being, so i just said, "yeah, that's how much it is...if you want quality, then you have to pay for it." it kinda shut them up...especially since they realised that the whole installation wouldn't come out to even 0.01% in value of their whole house...i don't even need this deal, it's so small...sometimes i hate dealing with residential customers...though there's always the hope of meeting a milf...but so far so bad...


incident 3:

not much of an incident, but since i'm on the topic of rude and stingy rich fucks...i went to ntuc at coronation plaza today to buy some groceries...that place was crawling with aunties who drove their huge-ass suvs and mpvs and mp3s down...all these rich women with louis vuitton and gucci hangbags the size of the ntuc shopping carts, all loosely hanging from their forearms (it's a wonder how they keep it hanging there)...all with their d&g sunglasses perched either high up on their wrinkly foreheads or clasped in between their non-existent or sagging cleavages (it's a wonder how they keep it hanging there). ANYWAY, not once, not twice, but at least on FIVE different occasions, these old hags die die have to cut in front of me to get their stuff first while i was either choosing my beef sirlions (x 1), choosing my tiger prawns (x 1), choosing a bottle of wine (x 1), or paying at the cashier (x 2!!!)...i mean...wtf...firstly, you're so damn rich, and yet you have to come out yourself (rather than your maid or loverboy), and shop at NTUC no less (why? cannot afford cold storage or jason's meh???), some more wanna cut my queue five times...FUCK YOU!!! i digress...age IS catching up with these people, so i'll be patient and wait...haha.

nowadays, money makes the world go round (and money makes love stick around too, but that's another story for another day)...but being rich doesn't mean that you have the right to be rude. full stop. having said that though, being rich doesn't mean that you have to spend blindly and excessively either. however, if you can afford to buy huge and expensive houses, cars, handbags and whatnots, please don't come and bargain with me to the final cent lah...i need my commission too what...if you can't beat them, at least try to join them right? hahaha. =)
