Carpenter Shares A Chat With Entitled Guy Who Demanded A Custom Table Built In Less Than 2 Weeks
In a perfect world, both businesses and their clients would work together to complete a meaningful transaction. But we don’t live in a perfect world and workshop owner Abs Delfuego knows this firsthand. Recently, he had to endure a terrible encounter with a choosing beggar, who used every trick in the book to try and bully Abs into processing his order faster.
Workshop owner Abs Delfuego deals with unreasonable clients “every second day”

But his encounter with this ‘choosing beggar’ was something else
“I’m an engineer by trade but I own a small workshop, building custom arcade machines and stuff, especially for the disabled,” Delfuego told Bored Panda.
“Mark is the general manager of a company that contracts me to build stuff for the disabled community. They rebrand them and sell them.”
Later, the before mentioned contractor Mark contacted Abs to investigate the situation
“I get unreasonable clients on average every second day,” Delfuego added. The best way to deal with them, in my opinion, is to be polite but ruthless, not petty.”
Afterward, the same person came back to apologize, however, it became clear that they haven’t learned their lesson
Abs believes that you can do stuff like this only if you run your own business. He said he’d never engage someone like his working for someone. Getting a lot of business (on any day there are at least 20-30 queries), he has been through 3 customer service people in the last year. Ha handles communications himself now. “I always start politely. But once they come across as entitled or arrogant. I shut them down. I’m busy enough with nice customers so I don’t need these jerks.”

One of the most immature 19 years old ever. I hope his dad chews him out. And who cares if a desk arrives on his birthday. What is he planning to do with it? Dance on it? Use it to lay out party food? The exact arrival date is unlikely to have any purpose on his birthday other than it arrived. Stupid kid.
Show of his 'sick' gaming setup with three 24-inch monitors would be my guess. He sort of sounds like the type that would feel that that's important.
This is the kind of kid that buys everyone a round at the bar..not because he's kind and generous, but because he wants everyone to know how much money he has. I hope he realizes any friends he has aren't real friends. They are probably just sticking around to see what they can get out of him. I wonder if the reason he's desperate to get this desk is because he's already told people he's getting it to entice them to show up for his birthday....
If the guy on the left is really 19 years old, he must be extremely immature. And I am tempted to partly blame the parents for this. Mark, on the other hand, seems cool.
19 is be definition immature. This kid is an asshole. Totally separate thing.
Given the dad wanted to "call in a favour" I'd say the dad is as much to blame here as the kid. He's clearly been enabling this kid for years. If I saw my kid talking to someone like that I sure as hell wouldn't be trying to convince said stranger to do my kid's order.
@Vicky boys tend to mature slower than girls mentally and physically
I don't want to defend this kid, but I've read that kids nowadays grow up way slower than we did back in the 70ies-90ies. My own nieces are 14 and 17 but seam like 12 and 14 or even younger.
Except my kid wouldn't act like that at 12, and neither would most of the ones I know. Most of the kids I know don't even want to make "business" calls.
Thats funny, I read something the other way around. That kids nowadays grow up faster. May it still depends on the individual. Some are just slower.
Yup. That's a parenting fail, big time. By 14 & 17 they should be a lot more mature.
What in "I can't have the parts in time" doesn't this kid understand? This alone says THE GUY *CANNOT* DO IT! Drop it!
