Like every tech support forum, email, or phone call ever.

List a complete description of all information regarding the issue. List correct OS version, firmware, etc. List all attempts at correcting issue based on standard and deeper steps (i.e. power on/off, resets, reinstalls, checking connections, etc.)

Tech help proceeds to disregard everything you just relayed and asks for the same things you just did. Or just tells you to nuke it all and wipe everything you’re trying to save.

To put the shoe on the other foot:

  • "No time wasters" (You're wasting your own time writing this for your listing)
  • "Bought for ¤x" (You think your item is worth more than it is and will be a pain in the arse about it)

why is he not answering questions when he is sitting selling stuff at a table? Honestly I did craigs list and if someone asked me a question where the information is in the post I just would not respond. I figure they would be more trouble than their worth.

This is why instead of selling stuff of a close loved one who died sucks hard in the ass dealing with the public who want to take up your grieving time with being this stupid. Just call a junk removal and get on with your life

Cartoon character can't be from Chicago. I only visit Chicago but noticed that if you ask a question and a sign with the answer is nearby they don't suffer you gladly.

  • "$10"
  • "But the sign said $5"
  • "Then why did you ask?"

Lol

I had an old time country friend of mine ... he lived out in the country in a farming area surrounded by farms. The kind of guy that just loved to talk and talk and talk for hours on end if you allowed him.

He said for fun when he ran out of people to talk to he'd go see some farmer he'd never met before who was selling something ... anything (including a $5 lamp) ... and ask them if they had an old time horse drawn manure spreader. He said most farmers like to talk because they're always bored or just want to delay having to go to work. Asking about horse drawn manure spreaders gets then to talk about the old times, good old days, memories of working with their fathers, what they have, what they built, where they're from and on and on and on.

My friends name was Jack and he was a pain in the ass because he could occupy your entire day talking about everything under the sun. He was fun for about an hour but beyond that, he probably wouldn't notice if the dried husk of your remains started to blow away.

Are you sure your friends name wasn't Colin Robinson?

All the information is on the task

I'm glad it wasn't just me.

First thing that came mind.

If you don't get the reference go watch Taskmaster on YouTube (or your preferred front-end)! If you do get the reference, I didn't get yours. My partner and I just started watching Junior and it is hilarious. These kids hate being told "all the information is on the task"

A fair few of the adults hate being told "All the information is on the task".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Oh absolutely! I haven't been able to watch for months and decided to jump into Junior, so it is fresh on the mind

The number of people that very sassily put "if the post is up then it's still available" on their listing only to just never respond when you ask to meetup is too damn high.
