All new! Things that piss me the hell off!

So, I'm sure this will be familiar to those of you in the crowd who have more experience than I with Craisglist, but, OK.


ADVERTISEMENT posted on Craiglist: "Hi, I am [ITEM, originally expensive and no longer needed by Kat], plz buy me or make an offer or whatever kthx!"
ME: (*waits for emails re: [ITEM]*)
ME: (*waits some more*)
email from DOUCHENOZZLE: "Hi, is [ITEM] still available? I would like to pick it up soon yay!"
email from ME: "Yay sure! I will be around tonight from 5 to 10, please let me know if you'd like to stop by and take a look at it!"
D.N.: "OK I will come by between 5 and 7 for sure! Plz do not be selling [ITEM] to anyone else cuz I want to buy it yayz!"
ME: "OK, here is [address] and [phone number]! I will be here for sure!"
ME: (*holds off on a variety of semi-urgent pre-VividCon pre-BigCrosscountryMove errands to sit around the house from 5 to 7*)
ME: (*waits* .....)


Me: (*waits* ...)


....oh hell, you know how this ends, right?

8:55 p.m. email from D.N.: "Hi, I will not be buying [ITEM] from you after all, sorry, kthxbai!"

ME: (*SEETHES*) You die! You die and you go to hell!

Ah well. The consolation is that *I* get to be at VividCon tomorrow, and Ms. the Douchenozzle most emphatically does NOT. Hah!

I too am amazed that Douchenozzle bothered to reply. I'm checking Craigs listing for apartments for a friend of mine and I have yet to get a reply back when the landlord doesn't list a contact phone number, open house or address to check out. What's the point of listing an apartment for rent if you don't reply to potential renters? Or buyers?
