Disgruntled? He was downright “upset”.

I hope you guys straightened out his paperwork and fixed his accounts…

The nerve of some businesses!!

He had some guts, We’ve all wanted to do that at some time. I never found out what his problem was.

I’m surprised I haven’t heard that story from you before! A similar thing happened to me when I worked for a solicitor, a very disgruntled client who was awarded several tens of thousands of dollars in a settlement, discovered how much he really got once the legal fees were deducted. Boy, was he pissed off. He at least gave us a chance, he rang first to say he was coming in with his shotgun so we just locked the front door and called the cops!

MM – Stick around. A lot more interesting things have happened in my life that you haven’t heard about. Then again……..

Actually, you reminded me further about that incident. He had rang earlier and said he was coming in with his gun but they didn’t take it seriously and I never heard about it until afterwards. You can imagine what the coroner would have had to say if I’d been shot!

I remember the day at work when they called all the support staff aside and gave us instructions on how to get the big-wigs out of the office in case a gunman was to get past security. Like I’m gonna save someone’s else’s arse before I save my own.

I think I would have headed out the back door like Mr. Barfoot as soon as I saw a shotgun.

AZ – I used to be the fire warden at our place too and I told everyone that if they didn’t know the way out, just follow me because I’d be the first out!

Damn…. fun times!

Thomas – And I thought working in an office was going to be boring! We had a few more beauties while I worked there and might relate later

Well what was THAT all about? Did Mr Barfoot owe him money? Sleep with his wife? I’m glad you didn’t get a big old hole blown into you.

Peggy – As per June’s comment above.

That was customer service, did you ever find out why the guy was gunning for your boss.

June – From memory, I think he was a disgruntled customer. Whether he’d been disconnected for non-payment or something I’m not sure of the details.
