So....am I a jerk????
Quite some time ago, I landed in Africa. A very special continent filled with rolling mountainous jungles, killer sunsets, waterfalls that tickle the clouds, animals so perfect and majestic...you just want to go cuddle up with them as you momentarily forget that they'll shred the shit out of you.
When I got there, a fellow picked me up at the airport and overcharged me for a tour. No big deal. That's fairplay, I was fresh into the continent and never really thought of shopping around. However, for the money I paid, the service should have been fantastic...it wasn't.
I e-mailed this idiot for two months, he ignored me and even hung up the phone on me. I wanted a refund for the services he never provided and he made me wait the entire day in his office...never showing up.
I was so pissed off at him. So I got back to Canada, made up an e-mail address and sent him a letter from a fictional character. This guy, who does not exist, was so naive and hopeless (in the life I gave him) that I'm sure the African jerk was licking his chops ready to rip him off.
So I set up a meeting, which no one but Kennedy (the African tour leader) attended. He e-mailed me the next day telling me he'd canceled his trip to Zanzibar for me and also canceled some v.i.p. meetings he had.
I let him in on my real identity telling him that since he'd wasted so much of my time and money, I might as well waste a bit of his as well.
Here's the letter he sent me, word for word. Feel free to read it if you can put up with the sloppy English. The legal shit he mentions is rubbish. I'm sure I won't be so cocky once the Tanzanian government has a warrant for my arrest. But still, it's rubbish. He makes it sound like he BARELY fucked up and tried to get a hold of me. What terrible terrible lies those are.
So am I a jerk for doing this to the poor fellow? I don't really think so.
