So I'm laying in bed, and can't sleep. Why?

For a long time now I've kinda harbored a grudge against a couple of people here over a few sticks that I thought I was owed. I let it go for a while, but then I made a few mentions of it to certain individuals, and before long someone went about rectifying the situation.

In the course of hammering all of this out, it was discovered that at least one of these individuals had indeed sent me what I was owed - a while back in fact. I had completely forgotten about it. The other person directed what I was owed to another individual who hammers me a lot with expensive sticks. So, that's cool by me.

So, to these people, I apologize for stirring this stuff up. It was wrong of me to do so, and it was my fault that this situation came to a head as it did. I had a feeling in my gut that I shouldn't have made an issue of this, and I should have listened to myself.

Understand, however, that between when the sticks were owed, and now, all manner of sh*t has been thrown in my direction; some you guys know about, and some you don't. This stuff got lost in the background noise. Nevertheless, I should have been paying better attention to details and not let this have gone where it did.

So again: I'm sorry. I offer my humble apologies. I also apologize to the people that I drug into this. I should have let it go.

The funny part is that, had it not been for my "magic ninja google fingers", I wouldn't have been proven wrong. So maybe it was best that I did stir this thing up. Had I not, I would have kept this pathetic little hurt of mine alive, and for absolutely no good reason.

And no, this isn't my first slice of humble pie that I've had to eat before. The nice thing about this dish, however, is that you never feel terrible after you've eaten it...or at least I've never had that problem.

Anyways, I hope this makes amends.

Specifics please!

Otherwise, your apology is meaningless and you will be doomed to perpetual guilt. LOL.

RAOKs means never having to say you're sorry. 🙂

A story somewhat like yours:

I traded w/ some unknown guy and had a bad feeling when he wanted my end first. I never saw him on the boards before but something told me I might get screwed. Well....it was "signed for at the address" but he said he never got it. He told me to make a PO INS Claim, which are nightmares to collect.

I just let it go and learned my lesson.

Mr.Jones,

When they sent you the signature, and it wasn't the person that was supposed to get the package, a quick trip to the PO should've straightened it out. Then again, the lazy bastid should've, if he didn't get the package, gone to the PO and asked them WHO they delivered the package to... The carrier should've known.

If it WAS the person, I'd have outed the bastid in a minute as a cheat, and posted a pic of the signature card.

I didnt loose that much but had a similar situation happen. Now I just send RAOK's. When I send out smokes not expecting anything in return, damned if I dont feel better in the morning.

Actually, what bugs me the most is the principle of the thing. I'm a big believer that you should always pay your debts. The cigars and the price thereof is secondary.

Then again, I'm also a big believer that if you're in the wrong on something, you need to make an apology or at least make an attempt to mend fences.

None of this, however, can overlook the fact that teedubbya is gay. Terribly, horribly gay.
