Another true gem of a story - this time a Prize Prick.
This azzhole Scotsman friend of my buddy Cliff bought Cliff's Ram truck about 3 years ago. He decided to add A/C to the truck, and Cliff said to him that I had a complete set of A/C brackets, fittings and a compressor for it. The reason for that was that I bought a second complete conversion kit from Bouchillon earlier to use on that same truck.
But when Cliff told me he was selling the truck, I decided to hang on to the parts as spares....I wasn't giving it all away.
Anyway, I get a phone call one day while I was not far away from them both doing a job for another friend who has since passed away. It was Brian the manky Scotsman wanting to know if I would sell him the parts for the A/C. I said sure, and that I would get it out ready for the next day. I told him my price and he said that was fine.
I bring the parts out to Cliff's shop the next day from him to collect, and there's a wad of cash for me....all correct amount etc. I thought to myself, at least I got most of my money back. I had sold them at less than what the parts cost including shipping which is exorbitant at the best of times.
Another 3-4 hours pass, and I get another phone call. It's Brian the manky Scotsman on the phone ranting and raving that my parts are too expensive, and he wants his money back. Glen (the guy who is no longer alive) was listening. He said to me "What an azzhole". So I told Brian "You can have your money back - leave the parts at Cliff's shop.
I get to Cliff's shop later on and give him the exact same wad of cash to give Brian, and told Cliff what had happened. He said not much at all about it.
Turns out Brian (a retired Engineer) had templated all the brackets and taken measurements to make his own. He told me he could get a compressor cheaper out of Germany that was the same as the Shorty Sanden. I was furious with him. Cheeky azzhole used me.
At least I now have a spare compressor....but it just really pizzes me off about the entire ordeal.
I have seen him a couple of times since then and each time ignored him as he attempted to say Hi.
That my friends, is a prick.
