. . . . . I would like to commend an EOG poster.
Two weeks ago, an EOG member calls Michael up and asks for a credit account. There is no way anyone will believe how often this happens but for the sake of the story, let's just say a LOT.
Mikey's pat answer is "Sir, you've got two minutes to convince me not to hang up on you like I do the other 75 fuckers who make this call daily and I will tell you up front that you have less than 1% of a chance in convincing me to extend credit to an anonymous poster."
Well, somehow said poster sweet talks Mikey into extending him a dime credit limit and promptly losses the whole nut. Mikey, being the optimist that he is, is convinced that he will never hear from said poster again but lo and behold, the posters calls him and says "You'll have the cash by Monday".
Sure enough, the poster is a man of his word and the funds are received as promised and said poster promptly loses a dime again for the second week in a row. The balance is once again received by Mikey and at this point, Mikey is questioning his long standing pessimism regarding the human race in general.
Long story short, a sincere thanks go out to FeelTheTruth for being a stand up guy and giving Mikey a new perspective on EOG'ers.
For those thinking of attempting to use the the same approach with Mikey, I will lay 100-1 that this does not happen again in 2009 but considering all of the STIFF stories that we have all been bombarded with lately, I felt that this was a story worth sharing.
FeelTheTruth, our hat is off to you, sir. 12io4j2w90
