slander vs. libel
Aug. 5th, 2008 05:23 pmis it slander or libel if i say that lettus service of st paul, for whom brad matala is a major representative, are goatfuckers?
i'm just curious.
today they tore out my basement shower, left for three hours (there was a good reason for leaving, but not a good reason for not explaining clearly about it), then went to go buy parts which turned out to be unavailable (is it just me, or is the first rule of projects "gather everything you need"?), and then explained to me that my "one hour project", as brad matala kept spluttering at me over the phone, was in no way going to be done tonight and tomorrow they'd start looking for the parts they needed but that they had other things to do today.
when i said that i was not happy with this turn of events, and did not consider their lack of communication or their planning skills to be very professional, brad matala (it could be pigs; i'm not sure about the goats) told me that since it was obvious that i wasn't going to be happy with the results, how about they didn't charge me any money and they didn't finish the job.
i am very happy to not be charged money.
i am very happy to never have to deal with any of those people again.
i am very unhappy to be without a shower until, likely, thursday, as the other contractors i called are going to be able to squeeze me in and will get this problem solved for me, but while this is, they say, an emergency, it does need to be fit around other jobs.
i am very happy with the new contractors. so far. the woman there was very soothing to me on the phone, and communicated all necessary details to me. communication! who'da thunk it?
reciting facts is neither libel nor slander, i'm certain. i'm just wondering what saying they fuck goats is.
