Crazy lady on Craigslist

So the other day I saw an item on Craigslist I thought I could use here at the house, and contacted the seller. We talked about me coming to take a look this weekend. By Saturday morning, Hubby and I had decided to not get the item and wait for a larger one (bookshelf) with a growing future book collection. Makes sense, right? So I e-mailed this seller and let her know that Hubby and I had thought twice and thanked her for her time but that we are no longer interested.
Never have I ever had such a twisted response from any of my many Craigslist experiences. The lady wrote back that she had removed the books from the shelf in preparation for my coming to look at it (um, wouldn’t she need to do that if she were SELLING it anyway?) She went on to flat out state that my husband is in the wrong for not “allowing” me to purchase something I want and that I should, and I quote, “dump your husband, and find yourself a lover who lets you think for yourself;(”
Woah! Is that LOCO or what? I thought of few good comebacks but in the end I realized this chicks off her rocker and the last thing I have time for is an internet spat with a perfect stranger. However, it had to be blogged about before I could move on!
HOLY CRAP! What a nut job! I have a crazy Craig’s List story too. When I bought a dresser off Craig’s list from this nice little stripper girl, she happily took all her sequined outfits out of the drawers so my brother-in-law and I could see how many G-strings she had. I kid you not, that’s what the entire dresser was for. Slightly disturbing that I purchased it for my infant son’s room, and that it took forever to get the glitter out. But it was a good dresser, and the poor girl couldn’t take it with her all the way to Vegas. Yes, she was so excited about her new showgirl job. (This story just goes on and on, but I gave you the best parts!)
Isn’t it fascinating when you come into contact with someone who truly is crazier than a sprayed roach? I mean, we hear about them all the time, but to witness it first-hand….jeez, it gives you an idea about how bird watchers feel when they spot some rare fowl, huh? LOL
