The Batteries Died
O.H. M.Y. ~ I contemplated writing this, because I figure no one will EVER believe it happened. Ever. But I’ve tried to call everyone I can think of to tell them what just went down on my front porch and I can’t get a hold of anyone. So I need to tell someone. Who better than the blogging world?
Remember back to my weekend adventure with the garage sale. You know the event I held in our drive where certain people tried to rip us off. Some for a few cents.
A lady just came to our door and demanded her money back. “All 50 cents of it too damn it!” It took me a moment to register what in the hell she was even talking about, until I noticed the small car in her hand. Then I recognized it as one of Ethan’s old toys.
It was some Fisher-Price talking car you push buttons on and things pop up. Probably a $12 toy originally. Still worked and was in good shape, so I sold it for 50 cents. Pretty good deal I’d say.
I asked what was wrong with it and she replied (and I kid you not!), “THE BATTERIES DIED!”
I laughed. Then I laughed again and slammed the door. NO MORE GARAGE SALES EVER!
you cannot be serious!!!
You’re right. I don’t believe you.
How could someone be THAT f’d up?
I am actually speechless.
Stupid people make the world so much more fun!
ok, that could not have happened. There is no way someone would do that!
Did you see my post about my amazing garage sale finds? TMX Elmo for 10 bucks. Too bad Michael hates him.
How could you dare sell her a car without a battery guaranteed to last a lifetime?!?! LOL
I’m in awe of the thought processes that go on in other people’s minds. I can’t imagine expecting a toy I bought for fifty cents to even have batteries much less working ones.
I am so not even kidding guys! Jodi - someone got $10 for that annoying Elmo?? We have one I could have put it out there & didn’t think about it. We also have a lovely chicken-dance Elmo (but he has grown on me).
wow. idiots are bad enough, but pissed-off idiots?
there’s nothing worse.
All I can really say is to reiterate: SERIOUSLY?!
Ummmm. I got nothing. That is completely bizarre.
did you punch her in the face before you slammed the door?
batteries.
50 cents.
deal.
steal.
what a bitch.
Tell her it’s a hybrid and she needs to go plug it in somewhere. Somewhere far, far, away.
Okay, you comment on my site several times and this is the first time I’ve made it over here to visit you. I suck. Now I see that I really suck because this blog is hilarious so far. My lazy commenting etiquette has kept me away from comic gold! I so totally relate to everything.
I am so tired right now and all I want to do is read every single one of your posts.
It looks like my goal is going to be to fill up every space in your “recent commenters” sidebar. This is embarrassing.
*snicker*
Oh how I love that you laughed at her and slammed the door in her face!
