HAHAHA, I have a buddy who, it turns out, stiffed a shop once after making some bold promises related to getting a bunch of work done right before a trip (he totally blanked). A few years later I was there hanging out for work, drinking a beer that someone had dropped off, and they're talking about this legendary guy who f***ed them over before a trip after they all stayed late getting him running, and who still comes in, and just all the factors added up and I _knew_ it was him.
I hummed and hawed but in the end, I found some way to tell him and the look on his face was amazing. Zero excuses or anything - he just knew in the moment he'd done f***ed up. In the end, he had a sort of bemused moment where he decided it was either show up with interest or never darken their door again and he did the right thing.
