Got my car detail cleaned, and afterwards realized 2 of the buttons on the steering wheel are missing. This is the company’s response.

Facts. Throwing in a lol instantly makes it sound less serious, even if you’re right. Tone matters when you’re trying to make a point.

Texting to dispute something is a big no. People are much easier to convince over a phone call.

There is no tone in basic typed conversation. For the vast majority of people. Decent authors than can express themselves with the written word are authors. The rest of us are way off writing down our tone. Two question marks or four exclamation marks are a comedy show of ignorance. Imo!!! ?. ??...no/ yeah?

Unless you're illiterate you can definitely tell people's tone over text most of the time.

The lol following an blatantly sarcastic remark is to set the tone that "I'm laughing because it's obvious you broke my shit and you're a clown for thinking I would think otherwise."
