Clumsy days , those days you drop every screw ,cut yourself twice fixing the dishwasher and forget you've turned of the water so after repairing it you despair because it's still not working ........very irritating .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Why the hell do you want it then?! I just blocked him after that.
Everybody wants a deal, some are just stupid about it though, as evidenced by your story. It doesn't matter what sales platform you use, the low ballers are always there to waste your time. :roll:

Yup! I get at least 6 to 10 spam texts every day, and as many phone calls in a week. And, no, blocking the spammers does absolutely nothing. :roll: :evil:

I haven't been seeing the spam calls nearly as much in the last few months but the political texts are driving me up the wall. My understanding is that they are exempt from the do not call or message whatever it is. Bunch of bs.

I sometimes have fun with the spam callers. Always answer their questions with more questions. They hang up rather quickly.

Remember the Time Life books on the Old West...the commercials.....some tough old lady outlaw who, "once shot a man just for snoring." Kids and their underdeveloped prefrontal cortex. You can get dead trying to kick in somebody's front door. Jeez.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

As I said, dumbarse kids being dumbarse kids. With the prevalence of social media influencers extolling the virtues of asswipery, pranking, and general disobedience for the sake of clicks and likes of fellow dumbarses, it is no surprise that this is what kids are doing for "fun" these days.

You are correct, one day that kick to a door will be their last day on this planet. :roll: Stupidity . . . absolute stupidity. :roll:
