After more than 15 years dealing with people on matters pertaining to guitars, I wonder if I'm being too nice to some of them, considering:- They leave horrible scratches on my guitar body after an agreement to borrow & 'take care'
- Misplacing my equipment when it's time to return them to me
- Letting them pay in installments stretching over years
- Accompanying people to guitar shops & putting them in good stead to the sellers knowing they would end up buying nothing
- Letting people dictate the prices of items they are buying from me
- Letting people own the items for sale first & agreeing to defer payment
- Letting people come over to my place to try my prized possessions (& mishandling them)
- Mailing free strings, cables & picks to complete strangers knowing they need them more than I do
- Etc.
- Etc...
But my good doctor (pic above) says he had known people like me who are, on the outset, very passive & accommodating but remain to be the most ferocious & damaging should their limits be traversed. According to him I am the type who are subliminally vindictive but are in denial about it because things have been rosy all along. I am too busy pacifying myself with my indulgences (must be my guitars, yes?)rather than taking account of the bitter episodes that came & went.Oh really?
