As mentioned earlier, the idea with this thread is get myself and others to recognize and acknowledge the moments that make you take a step back, but for a positive reason. There is good all around us and I’d like to see us share that more often. With that being said, here’s what’s good for me these days…
About a month ago, Tracie and I embarked on a journey to find her a very specific shoe for work. We’ve been to a dozen stores in person, and three times that online. The first order was shipped from Japan, which cost more in time and money to ship than should be allowed by law! Once the shoes finally arrived, they were TOO small. Go figure right?!? So I put the shoes on eBay, sold them, and then bought another pair on eBay. When those shoes arrived from Oklahoma, they were the wrong shoes in the right box. At this point, we’re two weeks in to the search and my wife is starting to get a little cranky to say the least! And I’m damn sure tired of dealing with her and the shoes!!! LOL!
I emailed the seller informing her of the mistake and she immediately filled a dispute and sale cancellation through eBay. I shipped the shoes back to Oklahoma, and went back on the search. (I was refunded the shipping cost back to Oklahoma, which was expected at the very least.) About 10 days later, I come across another pair on eBay and quickly order them. A few days later, I see a shoe box sticking out of the mail box when I pulled into the driveway. I grab the box and see it’s the wrong shoe, size, and color. On top of that, they are in the same box I sent back to Oklamhoma! “Son of a bitch! That’s dipshit sent the same fuggin’ shoes right back to me!!!” I could not believe I ordered from the same lady (didn’t realize it until then) and that she dicked it up again! I was furious walking up the driveway, planning my attack the whole way.
I tossed the shows on the table, grabbed a knife, and cut them open only to be shocked at what I saw! The note under the $20 bill laying on top of the correct shoes read:
Mr. Roush:
I sincerely apologize for the mistake made in our previous transaction. My husband and I are new to the eBay business and we obviously have some kinks to workout! Here is $20 for your troubles. Take the wife out to dinner tonight!
Holy shit. There are good people out there…
