    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I had agreed to purchase a group of corns from Aaron. After a number of PM’s and a phone call or two there was an agreement that we would meet at 11:00 am at a Bob Evans approximately an hour from his place and two hours from mine. At 9:30 am this morning I received a call from Aaron informing me that he would be leaving in a half hour. I informed him that I was already on the road and that I would see him in about an hour and a half.

With my heavy foot I was there 15 minutes before 11:00 am. At approximately 11:15 am I received a call from Aaron. I was having difficulty understanding him due to the breaking up of his cell phone, but I clearly heard him say that he would be there in a minute after I informed him that I had been there for a half hour already.

A half hour later (approx 11:45) I called Aaron back and asked him where he was. He the informed me that when he called me earlier he had stated he had only left at 11:00 am. I told him that I was not too happy to have been sitting there for an hour now when we had agreed to meet at a specific time. His passenger said that they were 20 minutes away still and he parroted that response. I told him I was not too happy about this. He then said, “Do you want me to turn around and you can loose out on getting these snakes?” That attitude, after having me sit for an hour waiting was unacceptable and I told him just that. He then snapped and proceeded to call me names and swear. During this he threatened to “beat my ass”. I informed him that he knew where I was and that I’d be waiting. Needless to say he didn’t have the stones to show up.

During the conversation he stated that he didn’t even want to meet anywhere yet in his ad he stated “will be willing to meet somewhere.” Still, no excuse for his attitude nor tardiness.

Probably just as well Dave, I doubt you would not have been happy with the animals, probably skinny and poorly taken care of. Good luck.
I agree with you.If that person did not have enough brain cells to meet somewhere on time then he probably does not care for his snakes properly either.DND did you at least get a good breakfast?
 
ok you got your story backwords.. just becuase he has "more rep" than me you will probably belive him.. he called me a "little fu458r" becuase i was 1 hour late.. i dont know about you but if any one has the nerve to say that i didnt want to do any business with him.. and he called my phone back 5 diffrent times.. "i will smash you with a brick" "little Fu&^er".. and i worked a 13 hour shift that night.. so i dont see why you have to cry about waiting a little while. your acting reallly immature about all this... act your age its really sad.
 
Ahhhh, the OTHER side of the coin.

Ignore him Aaron, he likes to say things in private that he would NEVER say in public.

Put your snakes up again, I'm sure someone will want them and not throw a hissyfit because you are late.

You might want to try being on time yourself though and you may want to curb your verbosity as well, it does fuel the fire of meager minds to call them names.

An hour late on a roughly one hour drive when the other party has a longer drive and is already en route is a bit rude. It really doesn't matter how long you worked the night before, if you're going to be late be courteous and let the other party know sooner so he can also adjust his plans if he chooses. His time is as valuable to him as yours is to you. Of course, once I'd done the driving I'd have waited and taken care of business.

On the other hand, calling five times, swearing, threatening, etc, is also uncalled for and I don't blame you for turning around at that point. In fact, both parties allege that threats of violence were made by the other. Hardly worth it over a few snakes. C'mon Dave, did you really stay there waiting to see if Aaron had "the stones" to show up for a fist fight? Is that really how you would settle your differences?

Both of you ought to go on home and forget this. It doesn't really speak well for either of you.

Lastly Aaron, you need to put a first and a last name on every BOI post or risk them being deleted.

You were an hour late and still not there. Your rendition is as pathetic as your spelling and grammar. You can’t even spell the State’s capitol correctly, it’s no wonder you couldn’t find it.

Ah the libel response from wes. It’s pathetic how the great fighter of trolls has become what he fought for so long.

I waited there for roughly an hour and a half with the intention of purchasing the snakes. This kid just snapped when I told him I was irritated about waiting so long.

Jim, I assure you and everyone else that I did NOT call and threaten anyone. And yes Jim, I did sit there and wait to see if aaron would show up. Mainly for the purchase of the snakes but if he wanted to follow through with his threat of violence, well then that would have been his choice. Unlike wes’ libel gibberish, I am not hiding behind my computer, cell phone or whatever. Would I have walked up and started a physical altercation with aaron, no. Would I have defended myself, damn skippy.

I am going to believe you on this. Staying and waiting to be ambushed two on one (since Aaron had another party in the car) would have been silly. Most times if one party shows up with the "merchandise" and the other has the cash, the irritation will be forgotten, and the parties will hold their noses and do the deal.

Aaron's apelling is pretty poor but "capitol" refers to a specific buidling that is the seat of a legislature, like that famous domed building in Washington DC (known as the Capitol). On the other hand, Columbus is the capital city of Ohio (as Washington DC is the capital of the United States). LOL. I couldn't resist as people who live in glass houses... :raspberry

I appreciate it Jim. What really bothers me is his continued "so what" attitude that he was over an hour late (had he ever shown up he would have been closer to 1 1/2 hours late) knowing full well that I would be waiting. Hell, he said that he left his house at the time in which we were scheduled to be meeting.

I stand corrected. At least it was spelled correctly. :D

And by the way Jim, it's spelled building. ;)
 
"And by the way Jim, it's spelled building."
I just had to be taking a drink at that time! :rofl: Excuse me while I wipe the pop off of my screen.
Seriously Dan, that was very rude of Aaron to keep you waiting. If I would have known you were in town I would have bought you breakfast.

With the exception of wes (consider the source, we all know that had anyone other than myself started this thread, wes' response would have been much different), everyone agrees that it was rude of aaron to expect me to wait for him to eventually show up when he got around to it. That does not sound like someone who wants to conduct business, nor is it someone who I would recommend doing business with in the future.
 
Dave, do you really think this was worthing of a BOI thread? You two got into a pissing match and both, may(or may not) have been rude to each other. There was no scam, deceit, poor quality animals ect. Actually there is no reason to stay away from either one of you, regardless of who wins this argument.
 
dandy, it's nice to see your mind reading abilities have returned full force, as well as your ability to say one thing and do another, something you are known for.

I recall a time, in the not so distant past, when YOU were constantly telling the Faithful Fauna Readers exactly what Rich was thinking, interpreting for the masses, unasked for of course, the edicts from on High, as it were....except that you were not ...... shall we say CORRECT and just leave it there?

While I do find some pleasure in this, it's just a side bonus, not something I seek out; heck you make an ass of yourself often with NO assistance from me so I generally just read and chuckle, or guffaw as the situation warrants.

To the point. I have defended both neil "the liar" gubitz and sal "the theif" tornambene when they were wronged. Forgot that didja? Convenient, as is much of what you forget.

You see, unlike you and some of yours, I do NOT decide who is right and wrong based solely on who they are. I actually look at the situation and THEN decide if I wish to participate in the eventual outcome of that situation.

I do what I think is right and/or necessary by the circumstances involved not by who is involved. You should try it, it's not easy, but it is rewarding; not to anyone but me, but unlike some (you) I am not out for praise or attention.

You wanted your boo boos kissed and it didn't happen. Again.
 
If they were shipped and not to be delivered in person would the seller and the buyer cuss out the driver and shipping compnay for being late. Or, would it have been handled in a more professional manner?

From what I can see, there was weak communication and a poor choice of words used. And no Aaron, just because David has been around here longer and has a higher "karma reputation" does not allow him a free pass. Nor does it give either of you the right to be rude to each other.

Reputations can be earned and lost here, be wiser when making future business decisions, no body like to sit and wait for a delivery when it is promissed to be there at a certain time. Be punctual and refrain from using bad words in a discussion.

Probably not, Laura, but if the seller said that he would ship Monday for 11 AM delivery on Tuesday, and I arranged a day out of work to receive the package, and the seller never called until 11 AM Tuesday to let me know that he didn't get around to shipping yesterday you had best believe I'd be pissed off. And that seller would get a piece of my mind most likely.
 
So why was it you were an hour late after calling and saying you were on time? Why did you get bent after you were acting immature, and he told you where to put your snakes?

So what if he called your phone 5 times? If you were an hour late on me the exact same thing would happen. And maybe he did call you a little f&^%er; maybe he didnt. Maybe you are a little f&^%er... Had you shown at the agreed time there wouldnt be an issue.
 
From my point of view with no money or animals being lost in this transaction it should just be chalked up as poor communication on both sides.. Continuing this thread makes both parties look bad and really doesn't need to be on the BOI just my opinion...
