What is the obvious way to pass a weekend when you are suffering paralyzing neck and back pain? You guessed it: moving furniture, duh!
Well, we are gearing up to put the house on the market in a few weeks, so we need to unload some unnecessary furniture. Also, this is Greg's weekend off, which only occurs once every six weeks. Enter: Craigslist. We have had really good luck selling things quickly on Craigslist in the past: truck, horse trailer, etcetera. So, last night, I went crazy putting everything from a motorcycle to a dog crate in the CL classifieds.
Within, literally, minutes, we had sold a laptop and had calls on various pieces of furniture. We made appointments to show the sectional this morning between 8 and 9AM: no show, no call. So, we got up early on our one day off for no reason. We had also negotiated a verbal agreement on price and set a delivery time of 11AM for the chair-and-a-half: no call. Turns out the lady went out drinking last night and spent all the money she withdrew from the bank for the chair! Wha--?? So, we moved the chair, found someone to help Greg load it into the truck, and rearranged our schedule for the day for no reason. We are supposed to hear from the next "buyer" about an appointment at 1PM. I am not too hopeful; we probably hung around the house all day today for no reason.
What kind of people have no qualm about disrupting/disrespecting others? Craigslist buyers, apparently! Get some manners, fools!
