我剛買一個一層簡單的平房.下水道漏水. 叫了一家檢查漏水的公司來檢查,收費二百五十美元.檢查十五分鍾後, 告訴我說.他們這二百五十美元檢查隻告訴我漏不漏水.如果要知道那裏漏水,要另外收六百美元.(I am a handy man who almost can build whole house by myself if I have enough time. This house plumb system is very simple. All drain pipes are not more than one foot away from the external walls. I can dig or hire daily labor to dig and fix . Considering $250 may save my time by avoiding dig all pipes, I hired this company to have inspection and I told them there is leaks beforehand.)
我一聽覺得莫名其妙. 我已經告訴他們漏水的事情. 我吃飽了撐的花二百五在我已經知道的事情上.我馬上給他們公司打電話, 告訴他們我馬上付錢, 叫檢查漏水的人馬上給我滾蛋(I pay right now and I want to have your people get out of my land immdediately!).接電話的人說他們一會兒老板會給我打電話.
老板給我打電話, 態度極為傲慢,粗魯,想以氣勢壓人.我心平氣和地告訴他.I follow game rule.我可以馬上付錢.他叫我給他信用卡號碼.我說他必須給先我INVOICE(EMAIL), 然後我馬上告訴你我信用卡號碼付錢.他憂鬱了半天問我為什麽. 要invoide/bill charge理所當然的事情.我請你做事, 你給我帳單, 然後我付錢-這是順理成章的事情. 但是, 這沒完. 我不滿意你們的不誠實的服務, 接下來我會做我人為公平合理的事情,那就是到小額法庭把這錢要回來. 他一聽, 有半天不吭聲.最後說我不要你付錢.掛斷電話.
