WHAT to do with a guy like that?? (problem with a RB member)

[Carge]

He's most likely pi$$ing himself this morning thinking it's a job well done

But he will be pi$$ing himself - with no saddle!

 

[petitpal]

I don't know the user in question but just for the sake of sanity, re-read what he said:

Im expecting you to post the saddle also within a few hours along with a photo of the post receipt clearly showing you actually sent it.

Does anyone actually think it's possible to post a photo of the receipt along with the thing you're posting? Has to be a case of humour gone wrong, imo. Unless he knows the buyer well though, seems like mis-placed humour but surely nothing worse?

Maybe he's using a translator of some kind.

 

[Carge]

Judging from the guy's other posts, I'd say he has a pretty good grasp of English.

Hi
In the good spirit of the communication in the retrobike community (..uncompromising, thread filled.. you know..as you started it )
Im expecting you to post the saddle also within a few hours along with a photo of the post receipt clearly showing you actually sent it.
If you, by chance, must go to work.. take the day off.
If i dont see the receipt by today 17:00 Im writing a negative comment. Sorry

9) THURSDAY 9: 21 mr.zzz starts this thread


CONCLUSION

we have here one seller who cannot wait freaking few hours for somebody to come from work and from the beginning starts with the threads hes gonna sell it to some people (who btw dont even bother to post themself in to the line in the thread)

Then when i sarcastically send him reply IN THE EXACT SAME TONE back for him to realie what a jerk he was acting like.. he starts a thread

AND MANY OF YOU JUMP ON IT WITHOUT KNOWING ANYTHING

Congrats

Now who is the victim

cheers

was it me who started this? why the plural

 

[petitpal]

Would it be childish of me to say, I told you all so? It probably would - I won't in case I have a thread started about it.

Just goes to show the problems of Internet communication though and why the humble smiley was invented.
