Default Re: I'm probably in minority but...

Michael, for your information it's been anything BUT a slow week. I've spent endless hours trying to get colossal snafus cleared up with a company I purchased a bed from. It took TEN different calls to even trace who had shipped the stupid thing! After it arrived, the shipper refused to complete the contracted services so I sent it back. Two weeks later it arrives again today...and with the wrong cover and other problems...not as advertised. That's just one for starters...In so many words, you're full of it.

As for the marketer, I tried EVERYTHING short of advertising the problem, to which I had to finally resort, to get them to stop harrassing me, filling up my mailbox so that my time-sensitive, needed, mail was delayed until it was too late (and cost me late fees). So, yes, I complained but only after MONTHS of efforts, and many long-distance calls to their offices and so on to get them to quit. I don't believe, given the circumstances, that I was unreasonable.

As for the gun thing...if you'd had a gun put to your head and was saved by the grace of God from certain death, you'd dislike them, too. I have fired guns, of necessity, years ago...I'm a crack shot, left or right handed. My husband used to particpate in (and win) many fast draw competitions. We gave up guns years ago in favor of other defenses, and have no regrets. Yes, I know full well what guns can do and I don't believe they are suitable for viewing during my breakfast, thank you. Thus the mild complaint.

Have no idea what emails and products you're referring to as I don't recall doing any complaining, in recent years, other than as shown above. People mix me up with other Sandi, Sandy, Sandra, Sondra etc Bowman's all the time so it doesn't surprise me that you probably got some of it mixed up, too. Do not confuse a statement of my views on a topic of discussion with complaining...they're not the same thing at all.

Don't pre-judge folks unless you KNOW ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES, Michael. I'm a survivor, trust me on that, young man.
