What is the problem...

So sorry about mom Henry, what can I say? I hope she didn't suffer much.
God-willing we go before our kids.

Get out on the water & reflect on your years together, I'll bet you're
smiling all day.

As for Randy, that guy whines if the air temp gets in the 50's! Don't
believe his "It's too cold, I can't fish" stories - he can fish 10 months
out of the year within an hour drive of his pad. Lol...

And Rodney, lol, I just can't stand guys that toot thier own horn all day.
He's his own fan club. The guys worth having thier horns tooted never let
you know it...

As for using his junk, lol.

This Reaction Innovations character is different from Rodney though;
Whereas Old Rod yells at everyone that doesn't use his snake-oil or buy
into
his gadgets (does anyone?), this fella let loose on a guy that was
already a
customer & user of his goods.

My guess is this - the guy that Bob made contact with was not the owner,
just a grunt employee. That would explain his lack of motivation &
courtesy. I'd bet, in fact, that RI's owner would like to hear about the
way Bob was treated.

Maybe he was just an employee, but maybe not. There are a lot of people
out there who can put a product and company together who have no people
skills. If they offer someone the product they want, with a good enough
price, some people will overlook their poor attitude to get it. I had a
boss with such poor people skills that customers would call the office and
ask for me to call them when I had time. They liked the service I provided
enough, and disliked his poor manners enough, to wait a day in order to
get what they needed. Maybe it's a flaw in my character, but I've always
managed to put a smile on my face for my customers and THEIR customers,
and it sets me off when someone that wants MY hard-earned money is rude
and insulting. They may not even be directing their rudeness at me, but if
it's done in front of me, it's just as rude.
As for Rodney, I read here to R-E-L-A-X, and learn how to be a better
fisherman, and his posts usually left me feeling like I'd just been chewed
out by a mother-in-law. I never liked Jerry Springer for relaxation,
either.
I now know how Randy must feel before ice-out. It's been forever since
I've been able to fish. Work was too busy in the heat, then my mother died
after a few days in the hospital, and I spent a week out of town helping
my father, and now work's behind again, and I'm about as frazzled as I've
ever been. Thank God for you guys and the TFF, so I can at least get an
hour or two here and there to relax, and fish vicariously.
Okay, I've rambled long enough, I better get some sleep.
Sorry I went on so long.

I asked him why he was discriminating against Arizona. I guess it is a
sore subject to him to have to fill out his monthly sales tax reports
and send them in so he refuses to do so. I suppose my e-mail could have
been worded more tactfully. As an Arizona business man myself I have my
own axe to grind with the Arizona Department of Revenue, but there was
no need to have him take out his frustrations on me. Hmmm..... Maybe I
could yell at every one of my repeat customers because I have to pay
taxes when they put money in my pocket. LOL.
If he hadn't hung up on me I would have pointed out that he might able
to request to only report sales taxes quarterly. Some businesses are
allowed that privilege. I never looked into it myself, but I have heard
that it is possible.

Bob, I agree, there is no excuse for rudeness, it indicates a character
flaw....but I also agree when you said you wouldn't cut your nose off to
spite your face . If you like the product, maybe you know someone over
in Winterhaven that you could use their address to have it shipped to?
Just a thought.

Thanks John. As always your reply is set on an even keel. I actually
already ordered what I wanted through Tackle Warehouse, and it should arrive
today. Of course that was before my ill fated phone call from the guy at
RI.

All I really used from them was the W.W.Hook so its no big loss. I can
always tie my own weedguards if I want to go that way.

Thanks to you and Dan for the kind words. After re-reading my post, I
think, "Man, you shoulda hit the sack about 2 hours before typing that.
My mother always said she could tell when I was tired, cause I would
talk non-stop. I guess that goes for "talking" online, too.
And please, nobody think I'm putting down longer posts, I'm just saying
my post went rambling on and on. I really enjoy the long fishing
stories!
