My first fight on the internet

Okay, so last week I emailed two people on Craigslist regarding a Bugaboo stroller that they were each selling. I really want a new stroller for this baby and they were a good price on Craigslist. So, one lady emailed me back and answered my questions nicely. Well, the other seller was a man that was selling this stroller as well, but all his post said was listed below:

Crazy man: "Bugaboo Stroller for sale- excellent condition"

Okaayyyy?? So, I emailed back the following:
Me: "Can you send me some pictures of the stroller. Also, how old is the stroller and what color is it?

Crazy Man: Hailey,

"Why is age a big factor when it functions and looks like new? I still have it in my car. Brought it down last night from Evergreen. A widow bought it for her grand daughter to use while visiting and she does not need a stroller now. I am color blind but it looks like its blue. Does color matter to you? The bassinet comes with it, along with a clear rain cover. Those have been stored in original bag. Has paper work and CD. When I get a chance, I will get it out of the car and take photos. Blair"

So, from this email, I decided to just not email him back because it sounds kind of jerky. I asked simple questions, so I decided to talk to the other lady instead. Well, a few days ago I get this email.

Crazy man: "What type of person are you? You email questions, I give answers and photos and never hear from you again. I hope you do not have kids. God help us all if you are teaching your kids your traits"

Oh, NO YOU DIDN"T!!!! I got this early in the morning and without thinking emailed right back with some sass of my own

Me:
"I went out and bought a new one from someone else because you were such an ASS when I emailed you about questions. God help us if you have children or grandchildren. Don't ever email me again. Good luck getting anyone to buy your stroller!"

Crazy Man:
"See, calling me an ASS really shows your low life character with Stupid questions and does not communicate. You will be divorced in a few weeks anyway"

SERIOUSLY!!! THIS IS HIS COMEBACK?? I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING!! THEN I TOLD HIM I WAS GOING TO BLOG ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT WAS SOO FUNNY AND QUICKLY GOT PARANOID THAT HE WOULD FIND MY BLOG AND SEARCH ME DOWN AND SHOOT MY FAMILY. YOU ALL HEARD ABOUT THE CRAIGSLIST KILLER?? HENCE WHY MY BLOG IS NOW PRIVATE!!

And if any of your thought Hailey was paranoid before by having me check the stove ten times before we go to bed just to make sure it's turned off (even if she hasn't used it all day), you can imagine just how many times I have to check out in the front yard to make sure the Craigslist Killer isn't perched inside his 1983 Chevy armed with a 12 gauge, ready to delivery his lasting retort.

That is why I google everyone I do business with on craigslist... As soon as I get an email address with a full name I dig up all the info I can before I meet them somewhere or give them my address. And you always thought I took things too far :)

Did you really get a Bugaboo, by the way?

kidding...right? said...

I still think this is Hilarious! I'm still laughing about Steve's comment!
