... to rain, resulting in all our crap stuffed in the garage and weird people navigating between it.
Note to Focker: This is not complaining but rather observing. Another observation: When shit is priced just absurdly low, don't haggle. If a leather jacket is $5, sack up and don't offer me $3. |

You should expect people to haggle you at yard sales. | #2 | ||

If you wanted $5 for the jacket then you should have marked it $8 dollars to begin with.

I've never had a yard sale before and never haggled on shit at ones I've been to.
I expect haggling on things like a couch (haggled from $50 down to $30). I'm referring to someone haggling on a leather jacket that's already $5. Then again I'm dealing with consumers who buy used socks. |

Yeah, everyone expects everything to be negotiable. It's like a flea market | #5 | ||

To haggle on something priced at almost nothing. Not a big deal, just funny to me what some people are like.
Of course we are talking about people who read the paper for yard sale announcements and show up at 6:30 a.m. to buy near-garbage -- as well as haggle on really quality, barely used stuff that is priced at about 1 percent of its value. I was a little disappointed nobody bought the "Pele: The Master and his Method" VHS tape. |

if they could have gotten the last guy down to $3 on that VCR. My ex-mother-in-law was a yard sale fanatic. I DO NOT miss the yard sale Christmas gifts. She
never realized that an ugly shirt or tie doesn't become better looking just because it costs $1.

like barstools for $5 that are eighty in a store, or stereo equipment for real cheap. But on the few occasions I go to one I only buy something if it's
simply too good a deal to pass up.

and his dad is a self-made millionaire who still goes to garage sales every weekend and picks up couches off the curb when people put them out to be thrown
away.
Perhaps that's why he's a millionaire.

Nobody who showed up today was rich. I don't think the $3 jacket coup put this guy in a higher tax bracket.
My mom manages an office and there's a cleaning lady who comes by once a week to do the small office. She borrowed $200 from my mom to "pay her electric bill" two days ago and then showed up shopping at the yard sale today (didn't know who we were), where my mom was hanging out with us. |

Do you think it is possible for someone to both not have money for their elec bill, and maybe need some decent used clothes for their kids?
How are diddy's cotton fields doing this year? |

I think he was commenting on the irony of her borrowing money from his mom and then showing up at a yard sale where his mom happened to be.
Planter? Cotton fields? That shit is totally uncalled for.

What the fuck are you even talking about?
I'm not rich, cocksucker. Guess what -- poor black lady gets $200 from my parents, who have a TINY business, literally mom and pop and I get zero, because I'm a grown man and WOULD NEVER ask for it. I'm out of a job, and my folks RESPECT me enough to not even OFFER me money here and there. They know me well enough that it would hurt my pride. I don't want any money; just mentioning this to address your "diddy" shit. I've never asked for a loan in my life, other than asking Sallie Mae for tudent loans and asking a bank for a mortgage and one car loan. All of which I pay every month instead of buying shoes at a yard sale. Yes, it's not only possible that a woman who can't pay her electric bill would need some cheap clothes for her kids, but it's LIKELY. Oh, except that the woman in question is over 60 and any kids she has would be grown. And she's done cleaning off and on for the office for 30 years. But then again, go ahead and judge like a faggot about situations you know nothing about rather than assess the real nuts and bolts. And of course I use the word "borrow" loosely because it's a gift that will never be paid back. What is this ad hominem comment about "planter mentality" that ignores the silliness of a woman fleecing someone for money to spend on frivolous shit? By the way, dumb fuck, I'd be happy to GIVE baby clothes to someone who needs them. Oh, but they only ask for cash. Oh, and she wasn't buying kids' clothes, now was she? She was buying shit for herself. I don't know shit about farming. Take your Miss. State-bred stereotypes and wipe your ass with 'em. Oh and guess what. My mom went inside the house when she saw the woman coming because she didn't want her to see her and have an awkward confrontation about it. I guess a "planter mentality" would involve a calling-out and a reprimand (things that happen in your movie-script fantasy world of class wars) but instead she just wanted to consider her $200 "loan" a loss (like simply HUNDREDS of similar "loans" to this woman over the last 20 years). Meanwhile, I don't have a job, don't ask for loans, and if I did, wouldn't turn around and spend them on shit other than what I supposedly borrowed them for. Then again, perhaps I was just raised in a trashy "planter mentality." Or maybe it might have occurred to you that "planters" don't have to have yard sales. Dumb little privileged, sheltered cocksucker.

1) 10 edits. Wow. After nine revisions, you still did not feel comfortable in you post?
2) If you are looking for number 11, probably best not to bring up ad hominem and then call names.

You corrected my spelling -- incorrectly? Impressive that you have the balls to be this ignorant. In writing.
My shit was correct. Your correction was not. I'm not asking you to "access" nuts and bolts -- i.e. open a car hood and touch hardware. |
