Stupid Facebook selling.

Real post I've seen this week.

"Got some cheap stuff for sale if you want anything"

Cue 20 posts along the lines of;

"Have you got a patio heater hun?"

"No sorry"

Have you got a wheelbarrow?

No, haven't got a wheelbarrow.
Xx

3 days later the thread is still going strong. 20 people have been disappointed that the seller doesn't have what they want and the seller has made no effort to make any suggestion what she does have.

Pmsl laughing over this thread!

Our local one is far too middle-classed for all the tat and glitter but it is also used as a local forum for advice and such. I have genuinely seen people asking about bus fairs to various parts of town (phone the bus company, you lazy shite) and people asking for comments on their 'personal problems'...

I sooooo want to direct them to MN!Wink

Bedsheets4knickers · 02/11/2014 20:05

For example,

'Can anyone recommend a good local mortgage advisor, please? Thanks.'

And she's had two kosher responses already...

I'm in the 'need to move' camp!Grin

Hobnob you might want to report your post, you've got your contacts on the side of the photo I think.

coconut0 · 02/11/2014 20:55

Mrsjavy, to digress from the thread a bit, DD's nursery once put Cornflakes, pink glitter and desert spoons in a builders tray for them to 'explore' and she did pink glittery shits for days! Never thought about selling them though Halloween Hmm

Handmade frozen shoes with 'cyrstals' on them anyone?

Comments are a discussion on whether the shoes are new because they look dirty....

Stupid Facebook selling.

emms1981 · 02/11/2014 22:02

They ask about bus times on our local, any kittens for sale? Always goes down well when I tell them to go to cats protection and remind them that a kitten grows into a cat. And the one I love the most any jobs going?
