Ah. I wouldn't have guessed that. Bloody hell why don't they check the thing before they postHmm I also hate the rude posts-

"Man with van needed asap"

It's the cheeky ones round here that get me:

"Need baby stuff free or cheap, moving to a new house. Need cot, clothes anything you have. Must deliver and must be in good condition."

I've just had a "beaura" pop up on FB Marketplace. Anyone care to take a guess at what it is?

Bureau maybe? Like a desk / dresser type thing (my mum calls their dresser a bureau).

The ones that make me roll my eyes are the ones getting rid of some absolute shit that are signed off with "Need gone now. No time wasters". Take your crap to the tip you lazy fecker!

Imacliche · 16/03/2019 12:32

Totally mentioned this before but one i saw was for a table and chers.
So.of course i had to post cher lyrics underneath in response to the post.
If i rememeber the first one i posted was "if i could turn back time, if i could find a way. Id take back my table and buy this "
Honestly went on for several posts before i ran out of lyrics. He never even clicked. Many others appreaciated it though 🤣

'Two big ones and two small ones' - so helpful when it comes to choosing your blinds! (I sell blinds as part of my job)

DointItForTheKids · 16/03/2019 19:14

As you say alltoomuch, I can NEVER understand this - furniture, blinds, pictures - not a single size or measurement quoted!! Are we meant to mindread?

DointItForTheKids · 16/03/2019 19:15

@Palominoo you've been cracking me up today, some of your responses on various threads (that we seem to be both on) have cracked me up today - I thank you!
