      @Chris:

      My wife is currently out of town, which means there's no buffer between my mother-in-law, who moved in with us last month, and me.  I need a buffer.

      Invite 6 friends around, issue coupons, and you'll have to sit at separate tables…

              Booze?

              I'm a pretty good natured drunk, so this could work.  Too bad the kids aren't quite to the point where they can fend for themselves yet.  Then I'd be golden.

                Start coughing uncontrollably.

                I guarantee she will stay away.

                Stereotypes are so convenient.

                    Speaking of laptop buffers, and completely off-topic, but my wife uses her laptop as a literal, physical buffer on flights when a neighbor spills over into her space by wedging it between seats.

                      That’s a great idea. I wonder if I could figure out a way to make mine heat up or maybe shock the love handles, arm giggle, and/or side boob of the person spilling into my seat….

                                  I can handle two days if it's an eBay purchase because it's an individual with a day job, not their business.  But when it's a business it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

                                      Selling some used alloy car wheels with tyres.

                                      Three different peeps have clicked 'buy' in three months, only to message me "err sorry changed mind" or some such BS.  ::) muppets!

                                        @organisys eBay is on my shit list forever more.

                                        Sold iPhone to buyer. 3 months later buyer claims purchase was not authorised by them on their card. Buyer gets refunded immediately.

                                        No iPhone, no money  😞

                                        To make it even more amusing the sale was conducted entirely through Sams eBay account  😢

                                        The devil is in the detail..

                                          i'll never sell on ebay even if i'm in a dire situation.. should've just gone gumtree or iphone marketplace which i found to be pretty decent.
