Not many farmers around here have purple gates and a couple new ones are about $300.00 and I have to remove and re install what I already had before this guy came along . Nahh ! I think it's already past time for the Sheriff to get involved , He had a chance to make things right and he said he didn't have time . Now he will have to make the time . 
Time to go back to being Grumpy old man , Being mr nice guy isn't working !. |
I would say you are correct here. We all can make mistakes, it is what we do after we realize a mistake was made that tells everyone who we are. Looks like this guy has to learn the hard way. It may take a while to get your restitution but you know you are in the right and this is not a small amount of money we are talking about. If it were $1000 or less I'd say it's not worth the hassle but this is way north of that in damage.
I have a dearly departed colleague that used this statement and I have used it a few times myself, "You are going to make me be an ***hole aren't you?"
