I HATE EVERYONE.
The world is my outhouse.
- This morning on my bike ride I’m coming back from a pretty good out and back along the Great Highway, going through Golden Gate Park. A black Escalade slows down to pass, a lady leans out the passenger window (I see a flash of red nails and blonde hair) and yells at me “YOU’RE FAT!” Then they speed off.
- Stink eye from people when I hiked up Corona Heights while wearing the weight vest. What? You’ve never seen someone wearing a weight vest before? Never heard of anyone training for the CPAT? If you’re going to stare, you can at least not be so blatant about it. Arrgh.
- Dog. Being annoying all day. Chased cat. Super needy. Pissing me off.
- The cat peed on the floor.
- Craigslist used furniture shoppers, specifically one wishy washy person, whose back-and-forth, demand-making antics finally induced me to fire off this aggravated response about 10 minutes ago: “Ms Xxx, Used furniture on CL is sold ‘as is.’ You are welcome to come look at the bed yourself and verify that all the pieces are here.You have already bargained it down to $500, which is $200 off what we asked and of course a major steal off retail. I have neither the time nor the inclination to jump through more hoops for you. You either want it, or you don’t.Sorry, but we are very busy and just trying to get our own move straightened out.I’m sure you understand.Regards.
CJG”You should have seen the email thread with this woman. It was 15 emails long! She wanted it, then she didn’t, then she asked for more money off, then she refused to meet me in the middle, then she told me how all her friends that have trucks or vans are going to Burning Man, then she asked us to DELIVER IT FOR FREE TO HER BROTHER’S PLACE (um, hell no), then she wanted to pay via check, then she wanted to pay via paypal, then she wanted me to put the bed together for her to see what it looks like together, then she wanted me to take it apart and take a picture of all the pieces separately. All of these were SEPARATE email requests, while all the time she kept telling me “Great! Then I’ll take it” only in the next email to back out and then make another demand. Plus, I am extra fed up with her because I had two other buyers who I let go after she agreed to buy it the first time!
Ugh. I should just submit her emails to this, go put my face in the blender, and call it a day.
Sourly yours,

Ugh, I hate people too. Major drama with neighbors this week, plus my assistant at work has LICE (from her kids) and has been gone all week dealing with that. All the while work piles up and I worry about ACK, getting lice!! Neighbor got a new dog, 2 year old UN-NUETERED male yorkie. I strongly suggested she get him neutered and she was all like “oh, I dunno, I’ve never had puppies…so….I just don’t know.” Gag! I also strongly suggested she keep both of her dogs OFF MY LAWN!
is Linus no longer cone-head?? was thinking about him this morning. sorry he was so needy; he’s a corgi, enough said
sorry you had a rough morning
that lady from CL takes the cake, so to speak! seems like she wanted it all; probably wanted to get it free from you too! I have had good luck selling appliances on CL, but I was trying to give away FREE moving boxes and the first lady who called said she’d be there…..she never showed up despite me trying to track her down. next time I put the boxes on I said in the ad “must specifically be there at time you say you will pick it up or it will go to the next person on the list” (the person showed up on time, LOL)
hoping tomorrow is a better one!
