Grandma threatens to report me!

First of all let me just say that when I first started the WorkAtHomeTruth site I got a lot of very valid complaints.

If you saw the original WorkAtHomeTruth site (I could show it to you, but it's too embarrassing…but you can still find it in Archive.org if you want) - you can see why. It was a horrible site.

But nowadays the complaints are few and far between. Basically very rare.

When they do come in they are basically some nonsensical rant.

I got one from a grandmother recently that fits the bill. What's odd is that this person has been a subscriber of the WorkAtHomeTruth newsletter for over 2 and a 1/2 years and one day she wakes up and decides to make an unfounded accusation such as this (Hint: I don't sell any $17.00 products):

Grandma says: "I will report you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you just got $17.00 from me and proved you are a scam and anyone who can take money from a GrandMother,, trying to make enough money to help her Grandchildren, how could you???????????"

My reply: "OK. I have no idea what you're talking about as I don't sell anything for $17.00 that I'm aware of (I don't at all, actually). In fact right now I don't even sell any products on this site at all. I do refer people to other sites that sell products sometime.

But if you feel like you need to report me. Go ahead."

My takeaway on this:

• Be yourself.
• The customer is not always right.
• No need to be a prick (although I get very close if not all the way there sometimes).
• Don't try to count the number of exclamation points or question marks a person uses if they use more than say three or four. It can really give you a headache and blurred vision.
