Not putting this in the "I'm angry section" as I'm not angry, just feeling bothered and concerned.
About 2 years ago (maybe 2.5 years by now?) not entirely sure.
I had someone who wanted to buy a rabbit from me. This person has purchased rabbits from me in the past and they always waffled on what they wanted, how much they wanted to spend, what they really wanted to get, would I take trades instead? And so on.
I told her sure, but she needed to commit and she needed to send a deposit in.
She waffled for two weeks.
In the meantime someone else said "hey, can I buy that rabbit from you?"
Can you deliver her on thus and such date and oh..I'll pay you a delivery fee when you do so.
So two days later I sold that rabbit.
The person who wanted to buy the rabbit got in a snit. MAJOR SNIT. I wanted that rabbit, you ignored my emails (didn't get them during the two week wait period).
Stated bad talking me to everyone they knew.
A rabbity friend said.. Don't let it bother you it will blow over.
TWO YEARS LATER said person is STILL in a snit and actively going out of their way to tell people NOT to buy rabbits from me.
This person is costing me sales and I can't/won't confront this person....as this person is highly aggressive and I've been advised to just stay clear as anything will just make it worse.
I don't know what to do.
I don't think there is anything I can do
It's just VERY frustrating... particularly when people don't want to and won't listen to the other side of the story.
The person gets some facts straight.
1. It's true I don't show a lot. Four shows a year fits in to my life as most shows are a seven hour drive on a Saturday.
2. It's true.. I breed meat mutts and used to breed harlequins, which aren't known for their stellar meat qualities...but judges stateside who saw my rabbits from an active shower LOVED the meat and type that I was getting. (that fellow showed alot of my rabbits until his life got too busy).
But everything else is just the bad-mouthing some folks get into.
I don't understand the mindset.
It's just bothersome and I work hard not to let it be hurtful.. but sometimes, sometimes ... it just is.
Anyways, I'm just feeling a bit bothered by it as this is twice in one week that I've been informed of this action. One person came anyways and just said "to give you a heads up this is what's happening", and the other person just chose to avoid me.
