I had this vision of you giving it to her for free when you said she got the kids' money box out, tbh.

 

It has to be the most transparent scam I've ever heard of!

Same with Gumtree, I used it a while ago to get rid of some stuff and it was ok generally but a couple of real idiots contact you. One was a trumpet which gave a full description, price and then mentioned at the bottom "Collection only"

 

Someone emails from London "I want the trumpet, can you post it to London"

"I'm afraid this item is for collection only. Do you have someone who can collect it on your behalf?"

"No. Please post to London, I will send a cheque when I receive it"

Get to fvck

I also had a caravan awning for sale. Guy says "can I come round and look". So I spend an hour getting it all out and erecting it so he can see. He comes round, is happy with it and we agree a price. He then says "when do you want me to collect it" to which I reply "you can take it now". He then responds "I don't have any money at the moment - can you hold on to it for a couple of weeks?"

I think she was a genuinely skint single Mum tbf. She looked like she had the weight of the world on her shoulder so guess I took pity on her.

 

Or she was a very good actress :unsure:

Looks like you were left blowing your own trumpet there mate.

 

Even I’m not daft enough to post something and expect them to send a cheque after. 

 

Some people eh!

The cynic in me says the latter.

 

But don't ever change, bro - I love you just the way are... :)

I once put my old sofa on gumtree, for collection, for a bargain price of free.  The guy came around puts it in his van and then moans that it's used, and has marks on it, and even said we should pay him for taking it away.  

 

Worse still my Mrs says to me 'do you think we should give him £20'.  I told her to stfu, it's a £3000 that needs just abit of treatment.

It probably cost him more than that to remove the semen stains.

Cúnts who can't get their dog's shit up.

 

I've just strimmed through some shit & got plastered in the stuff. Now I'm going being stinking of a dog's arse for the rest of the day. You own a dog - you get it's shit up. 

 

I was going past the Kathleen Rutland Home on Hinckley Rd the other day & I saw a blind man with a guide dog....carrying a bag of shit he'd somehow picked up. If a blind man can do it......so can everyone

time wasters when you sell something on Facebook marketplace!

 

Listed a fish tank and accessories. Bloke messages and asks loads of questions about it which I answer.

"I'll take it" - he says, "but I don't get paid until Friday"

So I agree to hold it for him

Friday comes rounds - I ask if he still wants it

"Yes, but can you deliver it as I don't drive"

Once again, I agree and say I'll drop it off on the way to work

"I won't have the money until tonight"

Why offer to buy something if you neither have the means of collecting it or paying for it!

 

 

 

Delete Facebook mate and help save the world.

Insurance companies at renewal time.

 

Just trying to sort my mum's home insurance. Policy Expert, her currently provider, sent her a letter detailing the renewal date and what she was paying (£138) for the year, as well as details of the cover she has.

 

Nowhere, absolutely nowhere in the letter was there a renewal price. I read the letter three times!

 

She calls them up and apparently there's nothing they can do, the insurance has gone up to £251. I've done a comparison search and got her cover for £117 for the year with another provider at the same level of insurance.

A blind man?

 

Do they have built-in radar or something?

Mcdonalds food might be described as a bag of shít.

He may have believed they served him food when he fact they gave him a bag of shít for a joke.

 

You have a point on how he'd find the drive thru in the first place....

 

Although blind people can have a heightened sense of smell suitable for finding restaurants..

 

or picking up shít.
