This Is A True Story

Craigslist.
We're moving. Oh yeah. I guess I never told you that after this post. I'll write more on that later.
Anyways, we're moving up to Northern California. So, we're trying to get rid of a lot of stuff. And we're using craigslist. I wish I could just have a garage sale, but we are in an apartment and I'd rather not have a bunch of strangers traipsing through my humble abode.
Anyways, craigslist buyers are unpredictable, have terrible grammar, and never seem to be very smart.
I got an  email saying, "I am interested in your dining table. Call me @ ---------." First off, I HATE it when people do that. You emailed me and tell ME to call YOU. Anyways, the following conversation really happened.

Guy: *Calls Lady*
Lady: *Answers Phone* Wally?
Guy: Hello?
Lady: WALLY?!
Guy: Umm, hello?
Lady: Wallllyyyyyy?!
Guy: ....... This is not Wally.
Lady: Oh, you must not be Wally.
Guy: I am calling you in regards to my craigslist ad about our dining table.
Lady: Oh, yeah. You're in Irvine, right? (I clearly stated our location in the ad on a map!)
Guy: No, we're in Colton.
Lady: Oh! That is so close to me. How long is the table? (I measured the table and put the length, width, and depth in the ad!)
Guy: I'm not sure.
Lady: Will it fit in the back of my SUV? (Seriously?)
Guy: I'm not sure, but we can take the legs off if need be.
Lady: Oh no! We can't do that! I wouldn't know how to put them back on.
Guy: Oh, it's really easy. Just a couple of screws that you have to take out. (This is clearly shown in the pictures on the ad)
Lady: Nope. I have to buy it in one piece. I'll have to think about this and get back to you. Bye.

I'm still shaking my head.
At this rate I'll be happy to just give everything away if it means not dealing with people like that!
But if you're interested in some furniture let me know and I'll send my craigslist ads your way! :)

Until next time!
