Funny Excuses by Online Businesses / People

3 replies
About a year or so ago, I paid this freelancers company to do an integration for me where they guaranteed a 24 hour turnaround. Of course it didn't get done in that amount of time.

After 72 hours he responded back saying he was just starting and that his dad had passed away the day before I ordered so he was dealing with a lot. I understood and he completed the project and got paid.

So I paid his company for an integration again last week. Now tell me this. How did his dad die twice? Yes, he used that same excuse last week for not completing the project on time. Ridiculous - and that's a pretty messed up thing to lie about.

Lesson: If you're going to lie to customers, you can't use the same lie twice for the same customer lol

    Lol... that is really funny. I had a similar experience; the freelancer told me that his mum was in hospital.
    I suffered the same thing too with my wedding photographs; I made a down payment and the man disappeared. I kept calling and his mum was always ill.
    Now what's strange is that these two are from 2 different continents

      I told him that I was very disappointed that he never let me know that his father had come back from the dead.

      What I don't understand is why people lie like that. The funny thing is if he had just said "hey, I got backed up and couldn't get it done on time, sorry" I would have been completely cool with it and just told him to get it done as soon as possible.
