If you're familiar with the term 'Ghosted' then you'll know all too well how it feels.
This is a sad reality of today's society, and has become the 'Norm', not only is it now expected, but it is also accepted.
How, why and when, did this start? since when have common decency and manners, been replaced with downright ignorance, rudeness and disrespect?
I find this absolutely insulting, and beyond rude, that people do not consider it important or think it right, to take just one minute to reply, respond, or acknowledge in some way, to let the company or person in question know, that either they no longer wish to employ their services, or buy thier products, instead of just absolutely stopping all further communication, leaving the vendor, not knowing if, when, how, who, what and so on.
This is the hardest thing for me to apparantley have to 'expect' when having a business, but I do not 'accept' it in any shape or form.
PLEASE, if you are asking for information or a quote maybe, from a business, PLEASE don't communicate, reply, respond, whatever, because, in all honesty, there is a human being at the end, with all sorts of emotional feelings, worries, anxieties, or maybe even not, that is left thinking and asking, Why? What did I say?, What was wrong?, Did I offend or upset them? and many more unanswered.
It is especially hurtful when starting out, being new on the block, trying to establish a presence, and a reputation, and drumming up some business, because not knowing why someone suddenly stops communicating, hurts more than them saying, thanks but no thanks.
If you are one of these people, who think it is acceptable and normal for you to not reply or respond after you have enquired or asked a question, then I'd be grateful if you didn't and took your business elsewhere.
Please do the right thing, let's bring back common decency and respect. It's not nice, it's not polite and it's not acceptable.
Thank You x
(ps) No, I am not a grumpy person, I am a polite, respectful, charming, romantic and caring individual, and these are the kind of people who get the absolute best from me, right at the start.
