Serious thread

I bought a tent on thursday night on eBay (as in won the auction on thursday night) Just logged in to pay for it and the cheeky mare has sent me a realy arsey message, C+P'd here:

"when u gunna pay 4 da tent?????"

I want to tell her to stick it up her fudge tunnel. Basically I am dubious of the hygiene of the tent if she uses language like pay 4 da tent.

did she not arx nice enuff then?

BupcakesandCunting · 07/04/2012 20:48

No she did not.

It's not even the txt spk rly. It's more the lack of da mannas.

it's not really 'rude' though, just direct

innit

Meglet · 07/04/2012 20:50

Yanbu, rude caaaa. Can you cancel it?

Not sure about the rules about bidding them cancelling your own bid, would you get bad feedback?

Teeb · 07/04/2012 20:53

I thought basic manners was prompt payment.

BupcakesandCunting · 07/04/2012 20:58

You whaaaa? I've been an eBay seller for ten years and I've never taken umbrage at someone taking a day and a half to pay. Sometimes I've taken this long to pay before of the bid has ended at a weird time and I haven't been online since winning and I've always had "fast payment" feedback. Confused

I cannot believe you are STILL buying shit off ebay! The first thread of yours I read was about some dodgy make up

picnicbasketcase · 07/04/2012 21:00

Hmmm. Well, you didn't pay very quickly, so her sending you a message wasn't completely unreasonable. It was very rudely worded though. I would pay and then leave appropriate feedback re her communication.

SuePurblybiltFromChocolate · 07/04/2012 21:01

Pay for it and leave her appropriate feedback Grin

ChristIsTrulyRisen · 07/04/2012 21:02

Tent?

Hagagaha.

That I'd pay to see and point and larf and giggles and leak and snort and snurkle.

No way no how.

You've realised you can't do your fring in a tent and am backing down ay yow cokka.

BupcakesandCunting · 07/04/2012 21:03

Actually, the tent has to be collected so I was assuming I was going to pay her cash in hand...

picnicbasketcase · 07/04/2012 21:04

Well in that case, she should've said 'Wen u gunna pik da tent up???' Mixed messages really.

UrsulaBuffay · 07/04/2012 21:05

Oh hai SuePurplybits!
I reckon the tent has all names writ in it like 'Duane' it could be ART

BupcakesandCunting · 07/04/2012 21:05

Where have YOU been, you cunt?!

It's brand new. Hmm Basically we're in a pickle. Supposed to be going camping next weekend and MIL said we could have a loan of her tent. Did a pracrtice run of assembling it and it is like the Millenium Dome. It's frigging massive. We'd have needed six pitches for it.

Arf @ cunt ruffling

I wouldn't be goin to this bird's house I tells thee

BupcakesandCunting · 07/04/2012 21:08

I don't want to go. I reckon she looks like this.

OP posts:
SuePurblybiltFromChocolate · 07/04/2012 21:10

Oh do go. Go and tell us all about it.
The tent'll smell of Poison and kebabs, you know this?

JarethTheGoblinKing · 07/04/2012 21:10

If its collection then you really should pay on collection. If you pay by paypal then collect you could potentially say that you never collected it and would be entitled to a full refund

nameuschangeus · 07/04/2012 21:11

Just message her back 'woz gunna pay wen I collect innit'.

UrsulaBuffay · 07/04/2012 21:11

PMSL well she is just out of prison, if it was a divan bed I'd panic

It's Mugabe's tent. To go with my Mugabe eyeliner.

That was it the eyeliner roffle

BupcakesandCunting · 07/04/2012 21:16

Sometimes when I'm feeling blue, all I have to do, is take a look at you...

Nah, when I'm feeling down I think of the Mugabe Eye Aids thread and I laugh myself silly. It was everything I like in a thread: puerile, no snipey cunts and someone popping in every now and then trying in earnest to assist.
