Some people send me vague messages that makes me impossible to understand them. I am posting these chats there hoping that someone can explain me what these people wanted, and hoping that more customers will contact me, this time explaining clearly what they wants.
Funny chats
I run this website focusing primarily on real estate, architecture and databases, in average per day 20 people contact me via chat for consultation, purchase of my works, professional consultation and other services.
But sometimes I get funny messages, bad customers who do not want to pay my services, waste my time or even insult me when I am helping them, odd requests that have nothing to do with the services I offer, or simply children who like trolling on customer service line, disturbing me from serving real customers. I made this section to publish the FUNNIEST chats.
Published chats are an exception rather than a rule, the reason of publishing is reading amusement, NOT to defame the person who contacted me. What I posted here are less than 1% of total people who contacted me. Personal details (people names, email addresses, IP addresses, etc) are hidden, only country is visible. Read more: privacy policy.
Also please DO NOT contact me and talk funny then request publication of your conversation in Funny Chats section, hoping “to contribute” to my website. I created this website as portfolio of my works and promote my services, NOT to generate and publish as many funny chats is possible. The Funny Chats section contain chats that happened accidentally during doing my customer service job.
Good indian customers
Most of world businesses avoid Indian customers because most of them aggressively ask services but do not want to pay for, ask off-topic stuff without reading what we offer, bargain asking for ridiculous discounts, try to scam you to work for free and run away without paying, etc.
Here are few examples of GOOD Indian customers PAYING for services, hope others will do the same.
BAD indian customers
I am writing this page to inform all architecture students and professionals (and not only) what they should expect from Indian customers.
Architecture is a difficult job to be done online, with many customers coming for free consultation and not interested in paying complete service, but Indian people are by far, the WORST customers, having NO RESPECT for architects and aggressively requesting custom house plans that they are not willing to pay for. This makes almost impossible to get a paying customer in India (also nearby countries, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc).
Some people hate chat pop-up
I use a chat widget on my website since January 2012. As 2014 about 10 people message me per day, over 3000 per year, thousands people say thanks for helping them via chat, but someone thinks that the chat widget invade his privacy… probably he will never visit my website again!
How people react when they see a website chat for first time
See below few examples of people reacting crazy when they see my live chat widget, if they don’t know whenever they talk with a human or a robot.
Hi, I am Mr. X
People who previously chatted with me, when they visit my website again, are advised to say Hi, I am Mr. X, to help me knowing that are same person. But sometimes people who visit my website for first time also start conversation using their names, and if it match someone else’s name, the chat turns FUNNY!
Kids wasting my time (2021-01-22)
Someone (probably a kid) started a pointless conversation, admitting that “just wanted someone to talk to” then said “sorry for wasting your time” but after 2 days he/she came again, asking “But do you remember me?” I only answered that I don’t have time for pointless conversations. Probably thinking that I do not have ability to see same IP, he/she started few more conversations, in one pretending to be a businessman, in other pretending that want to buy one of my items (but not indicating what item, probably he/she didn’t even know what I am selling). In the end I banned IP.
Mobile phones strange customer
Over 30 customers and all were HAPPY… except below one. He tells me to check/fix an error but personally I don’t see any error, I don’t understand what he expect me to change? Does anyone else understand?
Serious customer or kid doing a PRANK?
This person started conversation like a kid bored in school, asking childish questions, then after he figure out that I has been working in architecture, he said that want to build a house and ready to pay $1000… I asked for site plan and he DID gave me a site plan, but looks like he googled for a site plan just to find one to send me and keep conversation on-going for NO REASON, when he actually did not owned or building any house.
Very off-topic request (2020-10-16)
A stupid indian visited https://www.teoalida.com/database/cities/ (World Cities Database with population) and asked for a database of phone numbers of students… totally unrelated with what I am selling.
RUDE customer (2020-10-14)
Customer asked for price, I answered $400-500 for construction equipment extracting data from ritchiespecs.com, and asked customer from where I should extract data for trucks, price depends by complexity of website, he has NOT provided any website to source data from, rated chat bad and called me a time-waster… why some customers are so RUDE?
12-year old PRANK me that want to buy a database
Given by his attitude, repeating “hello” and “are you here” if I didn’t answered in 10 seconds, is obviously that he was a kid who is not buying anything = NOT A CUSTOMER, so the way I talk have NO importance. He closed chat and started another chat pretending that is his parent and apologize for his son… but using same childish attitude!
Serious customer who started chat in a stupid way (2020-09-23)
I do not take in serious visitors messaging me questions about other countries than the pages viewed, they are often kids doing research for a school project, bored in classroom and want to talk with / PRANK someone.
But not this time… behind initial messages that looked like an idiot asking about New Zealand on a website primarily aimed on Singapore housing, there was a hidden businessman who want to pay me $2000/month
Idiot cannot explain properly what he needs but call me RUDE
I am selling databases and he say “I don’t have a database I need to find a program” = inability to write english correctly. Never clicked the links I gave him in chat to understand what databases I am selling… and in the end he say “Wow you trying to sell something and your rude to me”… does anyone understand what he actually wanted?
I want to buy a house PRANK (2020-08-31)
Instead of serving my actual customers, I wasted time with this idiot pretending that want to buy a house then said… see below:
Funny & dumb student
DUMB question “how many floors are there in a storey building of 5 levels” the way he addressed me, repeating “are u still there” every 20 seconds when I asked him how I can help him, gave me impression of a kid having fun that doesn’t worth taking in serious.
Someone offering web scraping services from Google Maps but not giving contact info (2020-07-12)
This person contacted me (database seller) but NOT to buy a database from me, instead to sell me a database. When I asked for his contact info he closed chat. What kind of seller is this?
A gamer call himself RUDE
He reported an error but calls himself rude, I told him that is OK, nothing wrong, and he reply “Sorry to bother you then”
Property purchase PRANK – Singaporean wasting my time
I think that some people get bored and have nothing to do with their time… otherwise I won’t explain why 1 person would contact me 4 times within 20 minutes asking me to sell him a property in Vietnam or Thailand, with a budget max $3000. We provide real estate services ONLY in Singapore!
Idiot wasting my time
I don’t know how he managed to land from Google in my World City Database page if he was actually looking for airports, I gave him link to Airports Database and he said that wants for FREE.
Why do you contact a SELLER if you cannot pay for his work? Good luck finding a website offering such database for free!
What does this person wants?
To prove that my article about North Korea is not accurate (I already stated that may be not accurate) or that is accurate or he is asking or… I have no idea what he wanted but wasted me 30 minutes in a pointless conversation.
RUDE gamer (2020-04-26)
RUDE gamer, he start a conversation with “fuck you”, closed it and started another pretending that is a different person, then swear me again because I associated it with the one who was swearing few minutes ago.
Bad customer from India (2020-04-10) – ask me to give things for FREE and start swearing instead of downloading the FREE file
