I'm Not a Trout

And by that I mean that when I tell "A" and "B" that the file I got from "C" is incomplete, and I get a message from "C" three hours later telling me that I can contact him if there's any kind of issue with his file... I'm not buying the 'Oh, my! What a coincidence!' thingy.
"C" was warned by his friends, and he's attempting some damage control in a discreet way.
Too bad, but:
1 - I wasn't born two moons ago
2 - I can spot a lousy strategy miles away
3 - what had to be done has been on the wall chart for three months.

I'd like it better if people were telling me 'I messed up. I'm terribly sorry. What can I do?'... but I look nice and they think I'm as inoffensive as a trout. They need glasses, need to pay attention, or didn't spot that the water's tricky, coz they haven't spotted the teeth.
I'm not a trout.

I am very easy going but I too see things that folk think I will miss and most I just file but when needed I can point out that is the third time they have not done any work or wasted resources or just messed about. I have a long memory and I never forget :-D how sad for others... keep being a cat fish in a rout pond my dear that's just how we like you!

I use your method, too, but sometimes, I fang up when I end up dealing with a very silly bunny (who's taking me for a trout). ^_~
