Just when we thought this whole story's arc was going to be soaked in nothing but welcomed positivity, then boom, the customer just has to go and prove himself to be a complete jerk. Fortunately, the employee that ended up having to field all of his dumb behavior had the wherewithal and the professional means to put him in his place, by throwing his precious car into sweet limbo.

I was in the debtor's department. Yes, that means I was the person who would call and annoy you when you had outstanding payments on the vehicle.

I was so good at the job that I actually once received a gift from a client for taking their car away (sweet story actually, but not relevant here). I also really enjoyed the job and, because of that, I worked hard and got to know the people in pretty much every department adj

He had 8 vehicles through our financial institution, they were business vehicles for cross border deliveries. He's had a terrible run of bad luck and been unable to pay for the vehicles and all of them had been taken. Could I please, please, pleeeease see if it would be possible to get any of them back. I check the system and his file (a large part of the job was working with paper still) and

He did not make any demands, just asked nicely (begged nicely?) and I thought, "why not let me see if I can help this man out". Remember how I said I got to know everyone? That includes the gentleman who actually put the vehicles up for auction. So I explained to Mr Devious that I could make no promises, but would try to help him. If he could give me some time, I would call him back and let him know whe

Yes, although it was highly irregular, he could pull the vehicle off the auction floor as a favour to me if the man paid up all arrears on the vehicle by the end of the day. I called Mr Devious back and informed him of this. He was incredibly polite and thankful. He put the payment through before close of business and I received POP. So, I had the vehicle pulled from auction, al

    Font - And that's when I realised that I could get perfect revenge on him by doing exactly nothing. See, the vehicle was no longer up for auction, but until I filed a bunch of paperwork, it was not on the financial institution's books either. It was sitting in perfect limbo. Ordinarily, I would never have considered just dropping the file into my bottom drawer under a bunch of paperwork that probably had never been looked at by me or the past 3 people to have sat at this desk before me. But, ord
