Put on your Sunday best kids. We're going to Sears!
And now for another episode of "What's Bugging Meredith?"
1. People on Live Journal community
Yea you! Okay, maybe not you.
But anyways, a few community group type things i've subscribed to on here..there's a mess of kids who want to sell their shit to earn some quick cash..
Posters...fine.
Special cds...sure.
A Handcrafted one of a kind David Hasselhoff coffee mug with activated voice sensors....awesome.
BUT CLOTHES??? GROSSS!
"Hi my name is Lester Chunkerton and I'm selling some of my t-shirts that i bought at Warped Tour..i've only worn them 12 times and it's only been washed once and i'm asking for full face value because some of you are just as stupid to buy it for that much even though it's been used"
Now i'm sure at the spur of the moment you're so excited that this t-shirt that you can't find anywhere is finally available..
But think for a moment, if you will..what it just may have gone through...
*cue dream-like sequence.....now!*
Lester buys the shirt..immediately puts it on..
and goes in a Mosh Pit filled with a bajillion fat sweaty kids
or, he just bought it at a show, and shoved it under his arm pit to hold onto it better while in the crowd..or better yet, shoves it in his back pocket
So it sits on his floor in a pile of other disgusting clothes for about 2 weeks...(perfect amount of time for mold and other smells to be forever trapped in the fibers)
after some time, it finally gets washed..
Lester realizes one day he doesn't have enough money to buy his costume for the Trekkie convention which is coming up ever so soon.
*GASSSSPPP* whatever will he do???
He does what every broke kid does..
(now for the sake of not naming names....i'm changing the name of this community to protect the innocent... )
So anyways, Lester signs onto LJ and enters the community FOBlobe *cough* and posts his items to purchase..
And you people go after it like fish when someone spits in a pond.
Moreso, you really think those kids are telling the truth at how much they've been used and what not?
Here's what i figure:
If they say:
It's only been worn once
translation: I wore it during a show and perspired my ass off in it
It's been washed once
translation: It's been washed about 15 times
To the people that sell these shirts: Maybe next time you're at a show..go through this quick checklist before purchasing:
(fill in the circle if applicable)
O I desperately need this shirt
O My money couldn't be put to any better use
O I would like to be someday buried in this
if you filled in all three circles..happy purchasing.
To the people that buy these used shirts
Two words:
Lester Chunkerton.
