The Nerve of Some People

Ok, so a few weeks ago, I was one step away from getting my new Phone -->HTC Nexus One but I just had to sell my G1 which I now refer to as the GAY 1.. haha
I took some pics of it and got er all posted on Craigslist and BAM, just like that, I started getting texts like mad with people asking if i still had the G1 and I was getting pretty excited about it but the very first person agreed to meet me at the mall so I told all the other people to hold off in case the very first contact flaked on me...
This guy sounded really young and to be honest with you, also sorta dumb.
I'm not sure how I can explain it any other way. Just not all that bright because of the questions he was asking.
At any rate, I had a buddy of mine (Josh) go with me cuz we were meeting this guy at 4:00pm after work.

Well, the first thing that he did was call and say he just got home and was getting a ride over to the mall to meet us , so he was gonna be 20 minutes late and since Josh and I had to pay a bill over at OnPoint Credit Union, that was totally cool.
We took care of our business and went back to wait expecting him at any time.
Well, since he was not showing up, I call him again, and this time he says that he is on the way, but the traffic is just really bad and he pleads with us to just hang tight.
Well, Josh has quite a number of things to do that day but he agrees to hang out with me and wait and so we continue..
This goes on like 2 more times until he finally arrives at 5:20pm and Josh and I are pretty hot and bothered by this point.
Well, this guy who I thought to be kinda dumb turned out to be 3 X worse that I could have ever imagined.
He first tells me that I could keep one of my wall chargers that I was selling with the phone because he is $7.00 short from the $100.00 that I was asking, but come on now folks..
What on earth am I gonna do with a wall charger for a phone that I would no longer have??????
Then he proceeds to take the phone an attempt to place his sim card in it to make sure it works.
Totally understandable except for the fact that as you all probably know, smart phones dont work without the data plan being set up by your service provider.
I began to explain this all to him thinking that he should already know this, but as soon as I said the word "DATA PLAN", he started freaking out and saying INTERNET? INTERNET? over and over....
I said..."YEAH, all smart phones have to have a data plan that allows you to send and receive data over the internet from your phone.
He continued to freak out for like another minute because he had no idea that he would have to pay a monthly fee for a smart phone.
WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
He finally placed the phone back in my hand and walked away.


OK, STOP FOR A MINUTE AND LETS REVIEW WHAT HAS HAPPENED UP TO THIS POINT......


1.
I have had in the last 24 hours prior to this point 6 people saying that they would buy my phone and meet me just about anywhere to buy it and being the nice guy who is a man of my word, I kept my promise to not sell it to somebody else because the guy contacted me first and said he would be good for the money..
HE WASNT GOOD FOR THE MONEY NOW WAS HE!!!!!!!!!!!!
2.
This homo wasted nearly an 90 minutes of our valuable time being late and making excuses for why he was so utterly late..
3.
Most importantly, he came to the table unprepared and without basic understanding and friggin reneged on the deal leaving me high and dry..

I did contact the most recent and previous caller and ended up selling it that very night, but this is not the point..
In the real world, you don't get far at all acting this way and this is the perfect example of that..
Man, was I ever MAD MAD MAD



Its all been forgotten now that the Nexus One has arrived on the scene, but
can you possibly feel my pain?????

Data Plan!!

Dude, totally sucky. That's what happens when you deal with the general public. There are a few things I need to sell and I'm honestly thinking it's easier to sell them:
A. On ebay
or
B. Give them to goodwill.

Craigslist is good for a lot of things, but you'll soon find out (as you already did) that there are a a TON of idiots out there. You should've just sold the phone to me, wait what? It needs a data plan?@!!)@@#)(#@#@%

Nevermind.
