    This burns my A$$

    This is totally petty, but it really pissed me off....

    I posted on craigslist last night giving away a free lane cedar chest. Well, I got over 100 replies and I had given it to the first person who contacted me. I put "PENDING" in the title just in case this person didn't come pick it up (which happens a lot) and I still kept getting emails.

    The person picked it up and called me to let me know they had it, so I go to craigslist and edit the title to say "GONE". Instead of just deleteing it (which I should have) I changed the post to say that I was sorry that I couldn't respond to everyone individually because I had over 100 responses, but the chest was gone. I figured I would leave that until I got home and then delete the post. (give those wanting it a chance to see it was taken)

    So I get home and check my email (which I couldn't do at work today) and find this little nugget in response to my "GONE" post...

    First the death of common sense, then the death of common courtesy. Sad.


    WTF? Are you kidding me? I thought it was "courteous" of me to post that it had been picked up since I couldn't reply to everyone.

    I want to respond with some smart a$$ comment, but have decided to just leave it alone (maybe).

    Why are people so rude when they don't get something they want? Sure make me just want to call goodwill to pick stuff up, they don't give lip!

    Maybe they were talking about the death of their own common sense and courtesy?


    Ok, probably not, but they shouldve been, for Pete's sake.


    I wish I couldve had a chance at that chest. I wouldve loved it. Oh, well, thats the way the cookie crumbles....

    What an idiot.

    Next time you have this situation, edit the posting where you dont get any more emails, I think you should be able to change how you receive responses. If you tick the hide box, instead of anonymize, they wont be able to contact you.

    Yup, he just broke his own 'rudeness rule' by emailing that to you.....I'd say he "hypocritically has proven" this.....

    Too bad you can't send him that smilie....
