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.

My friend's DH works in film/TV set construction and knows someone whose special talent is covering things (like cars, yes!) in pieces of mirror. Like giant, odd-shaped mirror balls. How cool is that job? Pretty sure he's not doing it on FB mind you...

Want Grin if it makes you feel better, I thought the Elsa wig/hat was very good. Odd but good.

Fuckerysmuckeryboilsnspornery · 03/11/2014 20:02

ConcreteElephant · 03/11/2014 21:17

Patrickstar, I was looking at yours thinking, 'how is that a rabbit?' - then I realised it's a toy for a rabbit...for £3! A handful of hay in some raffia...for £3!

Fuckerysmuckeryboilsnspornery · 03/11/2014 21:23
