I'm not bitter!

I'm now in a 哭笑不得 state.
(meaning dunno whether to laugh or cry)

A girl bought something from me today... She couldn't make it for Kovan meetup and didnt want postage and didn't want to collect at my place and for some reason didn't buy from others for 1 week and she really seemed to need the item by today... So i made a trip specially for her to pass her her purchase... At the meetup she seems really really nice and it all ended very well and we even shook hands. And she said she would be buying more from me.

But...

It all turned super duper sour and I don't even know whyy.

She asked for a discount and I just told her the regular discounts that I give to all customers. (I try to treat all customers the same you see?) Then she told me others are cheaper than me and she took cab today and it was so expensive etc... And she said she will get from others next time.

So I replied:

"sure np, actually you could have bought from them this time round too, i wldn have minded. (coz she said it's expensive and she took cab, i didnt know y she stil insist to buy from me oso) and I do accept cancellation of orders. i actually made a special trip for you. (to show it would be good for both of us if she had ordered from others, to substantiate my pt that i really wldn have minded if she didnt order from me). guess you didnt want to back out after u placed ur order (i put this in to praise her for her integrity). but no worries feel free to get from anyone next time. :) really not obliged to get from me."

(i typed this from memory but it should be 90% accurate)

I totally 100% meant what i said with nooooo sarcarsticity at all.. I swear to GOD (though i'm freethinker, I do believe in higher beings) and I swear to my life and soul that i totally meant it...


I guess coz i only put ONE smiley face with no exclaimation marks she thought I was sarcastic?

then she replied, "i don't mean anything to offend you here, im jz trying to ask for a better pricing. seems you are too bitter that i'm taking from somebody else. please dont sms anymore coz i only mean business to you so don't get angry and be bitter just like tt. i wish to cut off the connection from you after this sms."

hah?

lol.

Aiya. I really not bitter at all.. Really lah. Im feel super wronged now. :/

To further substantiate my pt that I wasn't being sarcastic and I wouldn't have minded that she didnt order from me, it was really not convenient for me to meet her today. Coz my dad just went overseas (yesterday) so all household chores was on me. I met her at 1pm.. Before that I was rushing to cook lunch for my sis then chiong out to meet her one.. I was really trying to be nice to cater to her needs, not desperately begging for business or anything...

Maybe she meet with alot of bitter sellers before that's why she's prob more sensitive? But i swear i'm not like tt!

I did send her 2 smses after tt explaining tt im not bitter and stuff. Lol. Hope she understand.


Note to self: must add tons of smiley faces and exclaimation marks when smsing customers...
