*WARNING: FOUL LANGUAGE*

Since a lot of us are CL Veterans, I thought this may sound familiar when dealing with used crap, especially when giving away said crap.

Dear Crazy-As-Bat-Shit-Lady:

I am honored that you chose my ad for a mini fridge out of all the ads you could have chosen. It makes me feel good that my mini fridge will be supplying you with the ice cold beverages you've obviously become accustomed to.

Next time you answer one of my ads, please note the following:

1. I am not Home Depot. If you travel thirty minutes to pick up a bulky 40-pound object, please come prepared with the necessary items you'll need to secure it to your vehicle. Yes, I have rope. I have a lot of rope. I have many different colors and sizes of rope. No, you can not have my rope. The ad said I was giving away a fridge, not a fridge with rope. Nor was I offering a fridge with padding so that the pleather seats on your piece of crap 89 ford pinto with no hub caps car don't get marked up.

2. What part of ' must pick up' in the ad was confusing to you? Yes, I have a vehicle. No, I don't want to haul your fridge all the way to East BumbleFuck on the coldest day of the year. No, I'm really really sure I don't want to do that. No, really. I'm sure.

3. Please call me only once with ALL your questions. I left for the day, and had 5 messages on my answering machine, the last one was at 11:30 pm. Frankly lady, you were sounding a bit too crazy by the end of the day. It's a fridge. A small metal box that keeps shit cold. I don't have the fridge's family tree. For all I know the fridge's was conceived by a slutty young Maytag that graced some hillbilly's side porch. I don't know the exact age of the fridge. I bought it a few years ago, I used it for a couple of months, ok, I lied, I used it a whole year. The fact is, you're not buying a race horse, you're buying a used fridge.

4. No, I will not throw in a couple bucks of gas money to pick it up because your anal retentive eyes picked up the ittiest, bittiest hairline scratch with a microscope so it wasnt completly described. I'm not making judgements on you, but I'm pretty damn sure Donald Trump didn't send you across the state to pick up a used fridge for Trump Towers. Though I'd wager the whole concept of the mini-fridge bar is a familar one to you.

5. Yes, you can unplug a fridge without any harm to the fridge. Believe me, the fridge is fine. The manufacturers have figured out a way to extend the life of a fridge that has been unplugged. Yes, I'm absolutely sure of that. No, you did not have to leave 2 messages about your concerns with the fridge being unplugged, and frankly it was a little embarrassing having the same conversation with you in my driveway where my neighbors could hear.

6. No, I don't have the operating instructions. I can write them down for you though: Plug fridge in. Open door. Put crap inside. Take crap out when it's cold. Eat or drink crap.

7. I am not a fridge pimp. I don't have any more fridges at that price.No i dont have one in a diffrent color to match your other appliances, No, I don't know where you can get another fridge just like this one for your friend. Yes, I know it's in great condition, and I'm sure you'd like your other crazy-as-bat-shit-mini-fridge-finding-friends to have one just like it, but this is all I have. Here's a thought, there's this online classified ads website. Yeah, you may have heard of it, it's called CRAIGSLIST. I dunno, maybe, just maybe, in this great land of ours, there's another mini-fridge being advertised there.

8. Please remove my phone number from your address book. I think our relationship is over. Oh, and if you've added me to your AIM Buddy List, please delete me. Please. I beg you.


Yours truly,

the guy that gave you the fridge

Awesome ...and yep, it does sound familiar

:lmao:

Why oh why can I totally relate?

:screwy: people out there...

Seen that before, always made me :lmao:

I read that one awhile back as well funny sh*t!

Jersey. That says it all.

Go figure it is from NJ. The people around here just have no common sense what so ever. (actually I am beginning to think they should get rid of the name common sense)

And no, there is no such thing as an 89 Pinto. :D

That always cracks me up!

I have never known anybody named common sense, nor have I ever been to a place named common sense. I like to think of it as a state of mind. :yes:

And nobody likes a smartass. :D

My ass is not smart. If it were it would know to keep its mouth closed in public. :D

(that does not sound as funny as it did in my head.)

Well, it is pretty funny ...

wheres that rolleyes smiley


there it is ...:rolleyes:

I sold one of my Hunter fans that I got a couple of weeks ago on CL this last weekend. The buyer got a hell of a deal. I didn't have the mount for it, and he called me several times asking about one. I finally told him that if it would have had the mount, it would have been considerably more in price, and he could get one at the Lowe's on Waters Ave in Tampa for about 10 bucks. He reluctantly agreed. I Ebayed the smaller one, but this one was newer, ergo, worth less money, and it had a 3 foot down-rod in it, with the threads messed up from the locking screw in the body of the fan motor that prevents the down-rod from loosening or backing out. I was not going to spend a small fortune to Ebay and ship it. I sold it for about 20% of the price of a new one, and it was in very good condition other than it would be difficult to change down-rods. This guy expected a mint fan, with all hardware, for next to nothing.:lmao: I'm surprised he didn't want the price to include me installing it as well.
