Why is this so typical?

My craigslist ad:

"This is a Sony (model number) and comes with remote and manual"

Respondent to ad:

"What is the model number? Does it come with a remote?"

LORD, people.

I think use of force is justified here.

I love that icon.

[postmoderngirl.livejournal.com]

Me too. I love that it's just as appropriate when I'm in a good mood as when I'm in a bad mood. It's never a bad time for stomping!

Did you see T-Rex in Wonderella (http://www.webcomicsnation.com/justinpie/wonderella/series.php?view=archive&chapter=18516&name=wonderella) last week?

I think you should sell it to that guy, if only so that I can be there when he/she plugs it in.

One wnats to say "YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO OWN THIS" but you know, I really need to get rid of it.

I also had someone ask about my couches. When I called her, she said "Which one are you, again? I setn out emails on a bunch of stuff." When I told her mine were the green leather ones (figuring that was sufficiently distinctive) she said "I was in a hurry, too, so I didn't really read the ads."

So then you went on to say, "Oh, so you missed the part partially-decomposed bo...so, when can you pick them up?"

I hate people.

I called a woman on CL about a daybed yesterday. When she called back (and talked for fifteen minutes about anything other than the bed, mind) she mentioned she had gotten calls from jail and calls at 12:45 a.m. about the bed. People are just not right.

[crankyasanoldma.livejournal.com]

I've yet to get a call from the pokey. We'll see.

It is required of you to NOT sell to that person, or you will be rewarding Ignorance, instead of FIGHTING IGNORANCE (and Ignorant People).

How many pairs of jeans will it wash?

[crankyasanoldma.livejournal.com]

Heh.

Incidentally, i sold my washer this way, and I loved the guy I sold it to. He said his wife has been using one that was nearly 30 years old and would be THRILLED to have my 10-year old one. I was sorta thinking one shouldn't abandond a washer that has worked for 30 years, but whatever. I was just so pleased to know someone would be welcoming my old washer with open arms, maybe even a big kiss on the lid.

Have you sold this already? Because I mentioned it to Scotty last night and he's all, "Holy shit, we need a projection TV!"

[crankyasanoldma.livejournal.com]

EVERYONE needs a projection TV.

It's in limbo, because I've been back-and-forthing with some guy who had a bunch of questions (not stupid ones like "does it have a remote," thankfully) and I don't know where he is on it. He's got transportation problems (I think it has to be transported upright, not sure; he's trying to figure this out too). So let me get back to you.

[juniper200.livejournal.com]

Okay. Can I have a link to the ad so he can see the specs?

[mel21clc.livejournal.com]

I found your LJ via your reply in womenscolleges. Hope that doesn't sound stalkerlike. :)

I once posted a curb alert on CL, which basically read, "Hey, there's this cool old-looking mirror in a wooden frame behind this street in this alley on the west side; go get it before trash day. It's not mine, so don't ask me questions about it." I got a guy who replied back asking me the dimensions of the item in question, whether or not it was still there (I was at work, not near the alley behind my house), and whether or not it was a real antique.

*headdesk*

Not at all! I sometimes click through to see more about people who post in communities.

I don't have a lot of non-friends entries, though...you've been spared a lot of boring drawn-out posts about shoes, the price of broccoli, rants about co-workers, my love for diet pepsi, and so on.
