Thought I would share a mistake of sorts so others can learn from my mistake.
I've known for a while that everyone knows or is related to everyone on the island and not too say anything bad about anyone because it will get back to them. Knowing this and having that gift of running my mouth when someone p!sses me off....I decided to message a "friend" on a social network the following:
"Hey, I was meaning to connect with you when I was in ZZZZZZZZ a couple of weeks ago but time was tight. I'm working on some lodging, food and tour reviews for the area and have a couple of questions:
1. Do you know when the lodging part of the XXXXXXX will be complete?
2. Who hired the pu$$yhole that tries to stiff tourist on the entrance fee (the young man with the big hair)?
3. Are there taxi options once in ZZZZZZZ other than the motor bikes for families or wimps that don't feel comfortable on the back of a bike?
4. Is "HHHHHH" still around, I failed to find him this reach."
Not getting an answer after a week or so I checked to see if he was still around and found out that he works for XXXXXXX and it was his friend that tried to play the reindeer games with me.
Really, I learned nothing from running my yapper about an @ss but your mileage might vary.
