Failure to communicate
Okay, so I was looking at UsedVictoria.com for a PS2. It's much like Craigslist, but it gets more traffic in Victoria than Craigslist. Anyway, I saw a posting for a PS2 with games and controllers and memory.
This was my message:
I'm interested in the PS2. Is it still available? Shannon
I send it this way because there's a HUGE likelihood that it's gone. Almost every posting I've replied to has been gone, and for some reason they don't mark it sold.
Her reply:
Ok
Muh? So is it available? WTF?
So I reply:
So it's available then? Okay, I'd like to come see it. Where do you live? When will you be at home? Thanks.
Her reply:
I live in Sooke.
I swear it's like pulling teeth! How does this in anyway help me?
So I get mad and reply:
Gee, isn't that helpful. What do you want me to do? Drive to Sooke and knock on everyone's door until I find you? Holy crow. Are you actually trying to sell this, or what?
This is a lot friendlier than my original reply, btw, but I'm kind enough to make a rewrite in case the woman actually does have an iq less than 70 or is younger than 7. Sheesh.
