Apart from the usual time wasters I haven't had that many myself, but something yesterday made me laugh in disbelief so thought I'd share!

I was selling 4 storage boxes that fit in an IKEA unit. The item title, description and images all very clearly explain that only the boxes are for sale. I'm selling them for £5. I agree price and pick up, all good. She arrives yesterday and says she's here to collect the unit. Yep, she thought I was selling a whole unit plus the boxes for £5! She was very put out and asked if I was sure 😂

Was selling an under the counter fridge a few years ago for cheap (just wanted rid of it). Agreed a time for collection. She was late. Messaged her to see where she was - she said she got caught in traffic but "was leaving now" 🤨 (are you in traffic or are you just late?). Ask her where she was leaving from. She was a solid hour and a half away, not accounting for rush hour traffic!!!!

Oddly enough, she didn't turn up. She messaged me the next day to arrange a new time. I ignored her and sold the fridge on ebay.
