A video emerged online showing a customer confronting a pet shop owner for allegedly selling them a bird that was sick and refusing to do an exchange or refund.
Here is the story:
“Bought on first day from *name withheld*
there were not much customers but after mentioning that i am purchasing the bird, the manager came to collect $ and pack it up
Even after requesting for guidance they walked off and did not bother to help me out.
Hence i brought it to 2 other experienced birdkeeper and the moment they saw it they were shocked that i had actually gotten a sick bird and they tried their best to help the poor baby bird out to save it.
After the baby is slightly stronger i brought it back to the shop and requested for assistance, however the manager was being super rude throughout sales & after sales service.
And not wanting to admit that it was his fault.
Only when SPF n AVS were involved he offered to take care of the bird and would call me when recovered.
But 2 days later this heartbreaking image was wat is received.
A man shared his conversation with his friend who is working as a salesman. The man claims that he is earning big bucks from doing sales and going to upgrade his condominium to a bungalow soon.
Full Story:
My friend sibei hao lian, he comes tell me he earning over $20,000 a month from doing sales selling IT products at a local company.
He said that his commission alone is $16,000. Saying that his basic is also high at $4,000. He said that he mostly earns his money from selling computer-related stuff to MNCs.
He then told me his current 4 room condominium is too small for him even though he is living alone. He then said that he is rich so he wants to take a loan to upgrade to a Bungalow, eh if he so rich take what loan.
As it turns out there were stories about him liking to show off but deep down he has no money and he is in debt.
My other friend said that the hao lian man ask a loan of $200 recently and failed to return even after a month.
I realised a lot of people are superficial and only care about what people think about them on the outside and want to splurge or pretend to splurge so other’s will think highly of them.
You are what you are. If deep down you are a piece of “sai” no matter how you talk like you are a dragon you are still a piece of “sai”.
A netizen shared how he had a friend who took a loan of about $50k from his own mother under the pretext of offsetting the debts for his business loan.
However, he blew the entirety of the loan amount on prostitutes and drinks over a period of 6 months, neglecting his business loan debt.
Here is the story:
“Hi, please keep my identity anonymous.
I have a friend whom I shall name Aloysius for confidentiality reasons.
Aloysius was a friend of mine who was going through some cashflow problems with his business, and he had bad credit as well so he couldn’t get a loan from the bank.
So he went to his elderly mother and asked her for a loan instead, and she gave him her entire life savings of about $50k, hoping it would help him with his money problems.
At first, Aloysius was indeed planning to use the money to pay off a bit of his debts but because his business was failing, he took to drinking to drown his sorrows.
And he was also visiting prostitutes on the regular, spending hundreds and hundreds of the money that his mother loaned him on the girls.
His mother had faith that they money that she loaned him would be put to good use, despite his bad record with money.
But it never happened, within a period of 6 months, he spent the entire loan of $50,000 on prostitutes and alcohol.
The debts for his business loan remained unpaid, as he found himself in a deeper hole than before he even approached his mother for the loan.
And to make matters worse, he now has contracted an STD and because he blew all his money (his personal savings plus the money that he loaned from his mother), he has no money to treat his STD.
I really don’t know what to do to help him, and his elderly mother is sick and heartbroken.
