happyWImom Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Do you ever get really irritated in a buy/sell situation and feel like you really wanted to prove how right you were & how wrong the other person is? That's how I just felt, (after someone strung me along for days, wanted a better price, didn't respond, and then was all bummed out & shocked that I had sold to someone else, because she was in the ER last night) but, I didn't say anything except "Sorry it didn't work out". Okay, so I took the high road there, but had to come & be petty, here.:001_smile: That's okay, isn't it?? Probably not.:blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I did it more at home - take the high road, I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justLisa Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 You are so right-why can't I take the high road with my dh????? This may sound totally silly but this is what DH and I do: When we are mad at each other we correspond via email. My mother screamed at my dad growing up and I always remember that. AND even more importantly type out the nasty horrible things I want to tell him and wait 5 minutes. I have yet to send a single one of them. I either erase it, or just send an I love you that's it instead. We made this system a while back. It really works for us. Almost everything we are annoyed about each other is petty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not.:blush: I have been shocked by what some newbie buyers are expecting from the seller. It is almost like they want to guilt you into practically giving away your curriculum to them. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
