Martha was Nuts? in what way?

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Demanding, shrewish, she didn't listen to details (i.e. this came in black, beige, white) then demanded we make a special run in white. When we assured her it already came in white, she demanded samples, saying there were thousands of whites and she needed the "right white".

She changed one order three times, one 24 hours before delivery (which means there's a surcharge because we had to cancel a union delivery truck) then insisted that Martha never paid surcharges (in third person, no less). Tormented at three people on her cell phones (she had multiples), snatched a cell phone out of her assistant's hands insisting she'd "just do it herself", yadda-yadda. Had two of our office staff just about crying over her insane demands, insulting their intelligence, their clothing style and at one point, their Queens accent a'la "I don't expect a woman of your low intelligence, style and background to understand why this is so important to me..."

All for a custom-made sofa, I kid you not.

Hystrionic in the extreme.

I hid in the bathroom every time she came in.

So she lives up to her reputation?!

What a b*tch!

The only thing I can agree with (having worked for a designer) is that, yes, there ARE thousands of whites!

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, I've always wondered if she was just having a really bad winter. I met her a few months before her divorce was filed and so kept my mouth shut until I heard similar stories elsewhere.

Yep, thousands of whites, but when we're talking the undercover (what holds the stuffing in) on a custom-made sofa - truly, any white will do, eh?

The sofa fabric, itself, came from a third party and was delivered to us. As did the pillow fabric, etc.

I tried to take it, but, unfortunately, its not geared towards the modern college student. I can't tell you how I'm going to afford next week's groceries, but, according to this thing, I must be spoiled rotten. Hungry, but spoiled. :P

*laughs* working dishwasher comment funny.
celebreties live in an alien world. The ones I met were pretty nice people but they also weren't "world class", completely isolated from any shred of responsibility.
(My mom described that - sort of quotewise - of one of her friends who happened to be a Prince from Siam)
