Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

The closest I can find to the original call out post is this bastardised screenshot. Short version is, guy messages the page around 10:30 asking about the feed lips, not expecting an answer until the next day and gets the standard automated message saying they'll respond during working hours. So far so standard. The guy from milspec then messages back telling him to fuck off and it all goes to shit from there.

The guy wanting the feed lips isn't at all in the wrong there. I have to do things when I think of them or usually end up forgetting. Messaging a company out of hours is something I've done many a time, because of that (and of course most of us work during the day). Had he chased-up for a response five minutes later, the reaction would be in some way understandable (although still unprofessional). As far as I can see that wasn't the case.

Clearly the milspec guy needs to turn off notifications on his phone at night, maybe when it pinged it put him off his stroke lol.

I might have to ask about a product myself tonight, I'll do it when I get up for a piss, usually about 4am ?

 
Anyone want to start up a GHK specialist shop with me that DOESN'T swear at it's customers? I have a feeling there's a gap in the market right about now

Exactly. Apparently the guy works long hours and doesn't get a chance to message during work hours which I definitely get. The fact that this is the latest in a *very* long list of times this guy's been a complete prick erodes any sympathy I may have had for him and definitely added fuel to the shitstorm the original post caused. I think there were over 500 comments in less than an hour

it does indeed read like he's had a long hard day and getting notifications right before bed was the straw that broke the camels back, however snapping at someone is one thing, following it up is another.

i mean if he'd replied the next day and simply said "yeah i'm sorry, been a very rough day that was unprofessional" then that would be fine, but the rest of his reaction is just adding fuel to the fire.

I meant the guy who messaged him works long hours. The guy from Milspec is a prick to everyone

oh, lol i thought you'd meant the other way round.

i mean snapping at a customer is unprofessional but not unforgivable when there's context behind it.

 
I defended him slightly. In as much as I just said I'd dealt with him a couple of times and they'd been really good experiences. 

Bloody hell I got jumped on. So did Matt Skunk among others. It was a really odd, really toxic bit of trial by social media.

Very much so. Stole this from facebook but pretty much sums up what happened and genuinely doesn't exaggerate it either.

Some guy wanted 6 ghk feed lips, messaged the milspec solutions FB page and received a tirade of abuse back. Bits still ongoing on their FB page, worth a look if you'd like a giggle

I assume he believes it to be efficient to use the 'money shots' from his Tinder profile on airsoft forums, you never know when Cupid could strike... ?‍♂️
