a Saturday giggle

Pictured above the offending furniture O_0

My friend Al recently moved into his mother’s house with his partner to help care for her. In the move they found they had too much furniture. So he tried yard sales and listing the items on Craig’s List. Below is a comment from someone who did not even purchase the furniture. I could not help but laugh as it was such a rude comment from someone who apparently did not even know him. Meredith Lancaster must be a very angry lady with way too much time on her hands!

April 5th
8 a.m.
3319 Chestnut Street

We're having a huge multi-family garage sale. Lots of cool stuff: furniture, clothes (including plus-sizes), shoes, knick-knacks, art supplies, books, DVDs, jewelry, artwork and tons more. Seriously, we are selling a lot of great stuff. Come buy it!

Yard Sale tomorrow

Saturday, May 17th

8AM - 1PM

Driveway between 3315-3317 Chestnut Street, half block off Louisiana Avenue

Lots of fun stuff! Tell your friends....

Anybody need furniture? If so email me back and let me know your needs. We have lots of excess furniture! Thanks.

"I found this both disturbing and amusing, especially since my sale has been doing so well. I have sold a half dozen pieces already in the $200-$300 range to very nice folks. I did not satiate her with a reply. Talk about bitter bitch with too much time on her hands...." Al

Okay really?!?

Particle board bookshelves that are used and dusty,

maybe warped for $160! 

Wow, lucky me.  Why would I go to Lowe's and buy them

new in a box for less money?  Instead, I'll have you

deliver them for an exorbitant price.

Orange, sweat-stained, missing their filling,

farted on, maybe cummed-on,

loveseat and wingback chairs for

 $400! Boy Oh Boy!

Honestly, these prices for used furniture
indicate that you are on crack.  You

only need $20 to buy a rock.

Sincerely,

the shocked and

appalled craigslist community.
