My son had booked me a tattoo for my birthday & the appointed time was for today at 11am, I was on the 14 bus at 10.19am & my phone was ringing as I got on but I didn't answer it cos it's rude. I played the message when I sat down. It was from the tatt shop, I rang them back to be told the lass who was to do my tatt has been off for a week Ill & will need to reschedule my appointment. I said I'm already on my way on the bus.
We can fit you in on Thursday?
Can no one else do it, I asked because I'm already on my way.
No she says.
Could you not have phoned yesterday, seeing has she's been off for a week?
I've only just got back today.
Well that's no good to me, I'm on my way. Howabout I just come in & get my deposit back?
You can't get your deposit back if you cancel, she informed me.
It's you that's cancelled not me I reply.
Oh no, we are rescheduling.
Well I'm on my way for my appointment.
She's off sick.
I'm sorry to hear that, wish I'd known sooner though then I wouldn't be on the bus now.
I got my deposit back.
