I have quite a few customers that are good friends of mine but I also know that from time to time you have to forget that your friend is being an a-hole and diffuse it before somebody gets their feelings hurt or a damaged business relationship happens. If a situation can be resolved amicably then that is the way to go but sometimes its a dollar short and a day late.

Is that how you keep that sweet wife of yours around????

I guess I kinda asked for that.

The only one that will win in a more ignorant than thou contest is the one that is most ignorant.

Try to disagree without being disareeable. If that doesn't work agree to disagree.

Needless to say if a fair compromise can not be achieved find another place to get your work done.

I disagree about burning the bridge if in fact you consider him a friend just keep your relationship on that level and leave out the business portion.

Do as you have already shown own the part you play in this interchange. Learn from this, it is important and rare to know how others vew you.

I don't disagree with the question about his mental well being, but there may be much more to this than you know.

Folks are hurting financially like never before many defaults, bad, checks, bankruptcies, business failures, lack of work etc...

I know a few large business owners that are losing money and drawing on lines of credit hoping that it will turn around.

He could have just found out he or a loved one has cancer or wife just left him dad died etc...

If he really is a friend the relationship is more imortant than a buck or a harsh word.

Life is to short your town is to small and friends are to few and far between.

I foolishly burned a bridge with a fellow I considered a friend.

I promise I regret it more than the fun of the argument that we both lost.

WWJD What will Jay do?

HEY JAY, I HAVE EXPERIENCED NEAR THE SAME THING OVER HERE IN GRADY COUNTY, I DO NOT SHOP GRADY COUNTY ANYMORE EXCEPT FOR GROCERIES. I WOULD GO GET MY BOAT AND TAKE IT ANYWHERE EXCEPT WHERE IT IS AND TELL THAT SLOB TO STICK IT UP HIS REAR. IF HE DON'T LIKE IT , GIVE HIM A LEFT HOOK , AND RIGHT JAB WHERE IT WILL DO THE MOST GOOD AND NEVER GO BACK THERE AGAIN.

Yeah accept his business is across the street from Jay's both are well known and liked in the community. Jay is a business man and no matter how good it might feel as a Chistian & a business man that is hugely lame advice, would you post Jay's bail serve his time or pay the judgment in the civil suit he would lose?
