Traveling Welcome Wagon
Barb and cj, I feel for both of you. Why can't people remember that they are dealing with human beings and quit forcing unrealistic (and just not nice) demands on them?
My vent is something that situation comedies are made of (and murder trials!--Just Kidding Honey Bunny!). James has his own ebay account, but he mostly just looks for things through it, since we are trying to build the feedback numbers on our main account, which is in my name (I had it before I met James). He told me about a good deal on some Scrabble tiles. I told him to send it to me. He did, and in the message he told me to bid on them right away. So as soon as I saw it this afternoon, I did. There was a bid of something like $7.00 on it. I put a maximum bid of $27.34 on it, but it immediately said that I had been outbid. I asked him if he thought I should bid a little higher to try to win it, and he told me, "Oh, I bid on it." He forgot to tell me that he was afraid we would lose it, so he bid on it! And (here's the kicker), we were the only two bidding on it, so we ended up paying $28.34 when we could have paid only about $7.00! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! I was hurting during the night, so he figured I wouldn't get to it on time. I repeat, Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!!!
