()#$#(*$ Craigslist Too-Late Buyer

Dear Craigslist Too-Late Buyers:

No. I will not hold an item just because you've expressed an interest. The item is first-come, first-served. If you don't set a time to come get it, you don't have any reason to think I would hold it for you. Get used to it.

Yes. I do delete my ad as soon as it sells. If CL doesn't do their job, there's nothing I can do about it. Sending me a nasty email will get you at best a reply thanking you for your kind email, hoping it made you happy, and telling you that perhaps clearing your cookies might help. Oh, and informing you that I've blocked your email from my account.


Oh, and Note To Self:

:nodno: Please don't reply to these people. Just block their emails from your account. It's sheer stupidity to reply - just not worth it - no matter how little tea you've had this morning. *sigh*

I have got to learn to do what Lincoln did: write it but don't send!

Annoying. They deserved an annoying reply!

I know. It's funny how emails from random strangers can get to you. ITA, if they don't set a time, there's no reason to think you would hold it for them. Try to forget about it if you can.

Argh. Yeah, it's doesn't help that we're all mildly ill, I'm still sleepless taking care of DS2, and AF just hit me hard (probably because I'm not sleeping enough to balance my hormones out). Oh, and DH is going away for the second weekend in a row. *sigh*

I'll feel better some day, I'm sure, but in the meantime keeping my emotions from ruling my actions is not the easiest. :(

You guys are still sick, or is this a new illness?
