☠️ It's Your Attitude. ☠️

Ooh very timely. I had someone call yesterday who wanted an agent to help her rent some of her units. I could tell immediately by her attitude  that this was not going to be easy. I was supposed to call back. I didn't. We don't need that kind of negativity in our lives.

That is the norm for the world we live in now and no I would have done the same thing your "capricorn sista" did!

Girl you're speaking my capricorn language! I was at the mothership yesterday and oh yea, there was an energy smak down with somebody that walked in with a bad attitude. She left in a huff.  We just looked at each other  - and laughed!!! Some folks are total drama queens or kings and it's hard for them to find the appropiate queendom or kingdom LOL!! Every one pulls up the moat!!

Classic!!!!

Hi Candice- I don't do arrogance and clearly that almost-customer was.  Good for Angie!!!!

Love it Candice! I just recently posted in a comment somewhere that at this stage of my life, I just do not want to surround myself with people who have a bad attitude and/or vibe. It took me a long time to learn that it's really just not worth the headache, the time suck, the aggravation, the ... I am choosing positivity, and kindness, and respect instead. The quality of my life has improved dramatically. 

Well done Angie! 

Candace, It doesn't take long for bad attitude to show through. I'm glad she didn't just accept it. Sometimes people need to get pushback.

Some people give off vibes that you just KNOW you can't deal with.

My husband used to build custom homes. We met with a prospect one evening and after looking at his plans and talking for an hour or so my husband said we weren't interested in building his house. He blew up! He said "You have to build my house. I'm a doctor!"

We said no and left - and all I could think was that I felt sorry for his patients!

Candice A. Donofrio Excellent post about making choices who we work with.  All the more reason that real estate must remain independent contractor status.  No boss assigning clients to you.  It's totally the decision of the individual agent who they choose to work with and just as importantly, who they decline to work with.

Great post Candice A. Donofrio !!  It's much easier to simply be nice...!  And I love the power that each of us has to be able to "vote no" to dealing with some of the attitudes in the world.  Have a great day. 

Great post Candice!  I think we have all experienced that demanding client that has no consideration for anyone else.  I try to stay focused on positive energy and clients.

Wow Candice,  Interesting post and have to wonder about some people and their attitude that they have.

Loved reading this post ... life is so much about attitudes - good and bad. I choose good.  A bad attitude can be spotted a mile away ... and I don't need that negativity in my world of positivity!  Angie is the Bomb! So are YOU Candice A. Donofrio 

In my former 'hair career" days, this brought to mind, I had only been in the hair business a few months. I was in between customers and member of the 'female species with attitude' walked in past the receptionist straight to my chair. "You need to do my hair and we only have 30 minutes." Told her sorry but my next customer will be here any minute. The other stylists just looked and asked if I knew who it was and I replied I did, but my next customer would be here any minute. She did a 180* and walked out in a huff. I left after she did and went home. It was later in the day and she had that attitude. Evidently, she'd never been turned down before. Couple of the others would tolerate her behavior. not me. Have done the same in this career and would do it again. 

the tude can make or break a relationship.  in the service businesses we tend to accommodate everyone but can also refuse to work with those who are oppressive.  a fine line as the tudester could mean big biz.   Never heard that Kinks song either!  cool

Comment #22, your reply, and his reply!    ROFLMAO!

Life is too short!    Like you said,  "If you're the type to demand, condescend, rigidly require others to fit into your box . . .

Don't be surprised when the world erects boxes of its own

with you on the outside . . . "

Good for Angiebaby, and like anything you have to be selective with who you decide to do business with.

Zig Ziglar said "attitude is a habit of thought." As we become older and hopefully wise we are better equipped to deal with negative attitudes.  Good post and thanks for sharing.

I have to say this was a lesson I had to learn. I used to think i could help everyone. I used to think i had to take every person as a client who wanted to work with me. Then i met the worst customer on the planet. he was so mean, nasty and rude and took up all my time. I cut him loose and it felt good. I had twice as much time and 1 million times less stress. I began to practice it more often and now i chose who i want to work with every day.
