Random Rants

I had a buddy get back from a long night out, put his flip flops in the oven to dry and then passing out…ended up smelling rancid for months. Woke up wondering what the smell was and where his feckin' shoes were. Turns out, they were now small charcoal bricks.
-
^ just had somebody from a company on the phone that is specialized on removing the smell and all after such things. gonna cost me about 150USD and it'll take 3 days…could have been worse, that's right snowman! :-
hoping that the smell is gone now though (left all the windows open as i left in the morning!)...we'll see! -
And I though I was a drunk. I'll just bring home a chick beyond my normal weight class when I black out. I hate the walk of shame but it doesn't seem that bad now
-
No way, not if you don't remember it. That smell will be with you a while longer.
And I didn't say "fat," just a little heavy

Give this hat to a local shipping place to send it back to an eBay seller for a refund.
It arrives in this condition in this box:
I don't get the refund because the hat is fucked up, and the lady who shipped it claimed she did not change the hat in any way to fit inside the box. Which is clearly bullshit. Refuses to refund the price of the hat that she fucked up….thoughts?

eBay police. Put em on her seriously, they will recoup the funds I bet.

Sold a few items on Ebay today. A couple of items have been sold to one buyer in Australia. The note he added when he asked for an invoice contained the following:
"I buy a lot of games from the U.K, the price for postage is usually £5.00".
Ok, I think, I'll just weight them on my scales and check the price on the always reliable Royalmail.com… Postage to AUS comes to £7.50 (that's the games on their own. No packaging whatsoever, because I've sold a bit recently and I can afford to take a small hit). So I send the invoice, just had a reply. Contains the following sentence:
"Make sure they're really well packaged, Australia is a long way away".
Well thanks for that geography lesson, I didn't realise that the other 'side' of the world was "a long way away" :). But it gets better:
"Postage seems a tad high so if there is a difference in postage you can just send me a refund once shipped".
And I didn't send an expletive ridden message back to him... Must be going soft in my old age. I wonder if it costs more than I quoted if he'll be happy to send me the difference once shipped??
And the message finished:
"Kind regards"...
Sometimes I wonder whether or not Ebay is worth the hassle... Might be less of a strain on my goodwill to never by anything again, just in case I need to sell it in the future.
I feel much more calm now

im pretty much done with the bay as a seller, so wouldnt blame you

Yes, it's been getting to me recently. On the other hand I've also had some really nice buyers that have thanked me for posting to their country… I used to think I didn't mind the hassle of shipping worldwide but after that last buyer I don't know... Might be I'll limit my self to the U.K and Europe, which will be a shame.

I also sell on Ebay and send all over the world. I'm an Australian. I find people frustrating that don't understand I will not send anything without tracking and a faster service. People argue with you, tell you that you have something against there country, and I'm ripping them off. 100% of the time I'm selling near new stuff for almost half price and folks think the shipping is too high.. Sheeit.
Some just dont get it!! Arseholes manifest themselves in many forms.. It's just the way it is.. There is no perfection amongst the realm of humans.. A major lesson. It's how you react to your given challenge is how you grow or fall.
Equanimous IH bagswans..
