Strange text from my salesman.

Just a text, that's it.

"My manager wanted me to communicate with you so he can know when you can come in and look at the Camaro and complete the paperwork"

I'm glad your manager wants to complete the sale. This guy wears a gold GM ring he won for excellence in selling cars....wow.

OK, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I'm sorry to any salespeople who might hang out on C5, but it's true.

Salespeople are the stupidest people in the world when it comes to using technology. With 30 years in IT & Accounting, salespeople by far screw up more crap than any other field I know. Pretty much every laptop the company I work at that has to be flattened & reload with the OS on a regular basis, because of stuff caused by a stupid salesperson. Marketing people aren't far behind.

So...these salespeople are also the people that tend to be e-mail idiots. He probably meant to send that to someone else...or more likely he sent it to ALL his contacts.

I'm serious.

If this is true... whcih it probably is... means these said individuals have so much "epic fail" in their lives. Not to knock on the competent sales-folk, just the type mentioned above.

Well I asked him if the car was done, and he said yes so I assume they are ready for me to see it for a 3rd time.

LOL!!!! that was a freaking great! I haven't seen that one before.

Being in the IT Support/Development industry for 20 yrs now I can say I've been in similar situations. I do more development now but back in my support days I would have this kind of stuff.

And playing a game as I was working an issue....true as well.

Great stuff! Made my night.

I agree with all of the above. I got on a impulse buying spree at one point and called one of the dealerships. Told them that the first black 2ss they got on the lot was coming home with me, even emailed them a scan of my loan approval for 50K. They never called back, that was 3 months ago. Some people are too dumn for their own good.
