Ever have to deal with people that:

1) Make up any lame response just to have a response?

2) Do social engineering for a better price?
(It makes me puke when customers are too buddy buddy.)

3) You get asked to do it wrong way and then get blamed for doing it
the wrong way?

4) People lie to you for motivation.
(Ex: You're told that Team B is ahead...The truth is that Team B is
behind team A.)

5)People lie to you to confirm the truth.
(You say it's difficult.. But you're lied to that Team B found it
easy. Truth is Team B had great difficulty.)

6) People that are so wealthy, they don't give a sh*it any proper
planning to save money. Rework costs don't matter.
The plan is good enough by 11am cause that's when the golf course
opens.

7) People that don't get other quotations, yet lie to you that the
other guy was 1/2 price.

8) Ever ask 4 questions in an email and only get an answer back for
the 1st question?

Anybody know any books on how to recognize and handle bulls*hiters?

Maybe something entitled...
"The Art of Social Manipulation and Counter Measures"
Or maybe...
"Dealing with Sociopaths in Business"
How about..
"Kung Fu Techniques to use on Social Engineers" :P

Did you have a bad experience ?:-)

Life is like that, one bad experience after another; and then you die

Oh yeah...Arrrrghhh!!

Sometimes I think I just get customers that were rejected by my
competition.
(Firing the client?)
Say my competition realizes that a particular customer is a
"bulls*hiter" or is problematic and so they jack up the price.. Call
it a "BS Customer Surcharge".
This is done by personality profiling.. Some people are very good at
this.
So..if a client seems suspicious,sneaky, deceitful or manipulative
then their price is jacked up..

Then Mr.BS thinks the price is too high (due to the BS surcharge) so
they look for other quotations.
....And they find me.....oh joy :(

It's kinda like dating...It's mostly psychobitches that are single.

Ever looked into a dating website? It's amazing how many good looking
women are listed on such websites. Not models (that would be too
obvious), but just pretty women.

Um...I believe it's mostly the single pretty woman that are wacko...
Here's a brief list of pretty but crazy single women I've noticed on
the net:

*Women with 10 cats and 14 dogs
*Transsexuals
*Extreme tomboy women (chews tobacco and likes to play hockey)
*Fake pretty women from users or web creator
*Lesbians in denial
*Mental Disorders (Manic Depressives, bipolar, etc.)
*Drug addicts

Be very suspicious of any pretty single women. Even more so on the
net.
