To share this amusing and baffling outburst

[CaptainCabinets]

Posted something for sale on Facebook earlier and had several replies within an hour or so, quickly arranged for a lady to collect the item tomorrow morning for the advertised price. Someone else messaged me offering half the asking price and when I politely declined and told them it was sold pending collection, sent a delightful reply:

“Lol whatever Must b nice to be able to sit on ur arse at home selling things and not having to work if ur able to arrange collection on a Tuesday morning”

I have a job, I just don’t work Tuesdays

Just thought I’d share this CFery

I’d reply “yes it’s lovely thanks.” I’ve found Facebook selling sites really show how many CF’ers there really are

Oh dear.. What was your reply to them when they first asked about the item??

Just trying to understand why they would send such a shitty message

Wow, people really do like to showcase their shoulder-chips.

The grapes. They are sour with this lady.

WTF

My reply was “hi, really sorry but I’ve arranged for the item to be collected tomorrow morning”, didn’t even mention the price! So I was at the response!

imagine having the nerve!

For all this pillock knows you could be on night duty and staying up for the collection. Or you could be at home due to illness. Or you could have made arrangements via someone else.

I'd be tempted to reply with "Must be nice to be able to sit on your arse sending pointless messages".

How rude! Funny too in a way, I wonder what makes people have these outbursts, totally unwarranted and not over anything very important. I hope she is on Mumsnet and reads this thread.

CFery abounds on FB selling pages. I have sold stuff on there but stopped due to the audacity of 'buyers'! Once got 'when can you deliver it (to a town 30 miles away). Never, hence its marked Collection only.
Or 'can you keep it till payday for me'.

No Janet. No I can't.

Showcasing shoulder chips, that is funny! Thank you for the laugh.

Are you going to reply?

Just reply "take it you don't want first refusal then!"

I sold a pair of my daughter’s Hunter wellies on FB today, they listed as being £10. I was going to be out when the lady came to collect them, so we agreed I’d leave them outside and she’d pop the money through the letterbox. Got home, found £5 in the letterbox and messaged her to ask if there should be two, or if she’d only put one through. Turns out she felt the boots shouldn’t be £10, so she paid £5. She’s bringing them back tomorrow, and I’m giving her back her £5. CF.

It's even worse if you give stuff away, too. Someone had a right go at me because wouldn't keep a chest of drawers for a week for someone. Because I was giving it away. FOR FREE. Because I wanted it out of my house... Some people are just rude.

Oh my life, that is definitely in the top10 cheeky fuckery moments.

I would have to reply something snarky (please reply something snarky )

I’d message her back saying ‘If your job is so bloody good, buy new instead of offering half price for second hand you tight-arse gob on a stick’

I once advertised something on Freecycle (the hint being in the name) and got a message asking ‘Can you deliver to [town five miles away]?’ I’m surprised the cheeky mare didn’t ask me to pick a takeaway up on the way!

Tempted to message her every Monday night forever more about how I’m soooo looking forward to my lie in

Reply, "Yeah, it's lovely. Thanks hun".

What a nasty bitter cunt.

I would have not even replied, just blocked them.

Or maybe replied, after an hour, and said 'sorry for delay in response; i was booking my 4 month round-the-world, seven continent trip, and making sure the £15,000 it cost, was processed OK.'

Then say 'oh yeah it is nice to sit on my arse doing fuckall. Jealous are you, thundercunt?' And then block them.

Ba ha ha ..

Mirrivan - this one! Incredible. It became a running joke in my house.

What a charmer!
