“Clearly, god is testing you and your kids. I will not risk hell by helping you cheat in his test.”
I would prefer:
“I know, which is why I am giving it for free to a single mother of 5 children who is also interested.”
practice Calvinism, get Calvinisim
If God were real he’d be laughing his ass off at this own
I like to think if God was real, they’d have a good sense of humour. Not just from the line from the movie Dogma ‘you ever see the faces you make in coitus?’ (or similarish line too lazy to double check), but cause they’d have made what is equivalent to us making sims in a game, remove the ladder from the pool and have a laugh etc. Except it’s more prod these people and watch a war… Though if they exist I hope they wouldn’t be as cruel…like so many of us.
Huh realized this area, pretty much atheist but have to account for things that are unknown for sure is all. Up to there with unicorns really, hard to prove a negative.
I know god has a sense of humor, cuz he made farts.
^also an atheist, but we can have fun
Clearly in the wrong but the “life choices” nonsense is wrong as well.
That’s why she is using it as leverage for a lower price right?
Real texts. So real
It only seems fake because they cut off the part that they said “sir… sorry, I will give it to you for free”
What are you even talking about? This obviously fake as fuck shit really did happen!
Very tired of these fake as imitations of conversations trying to paint a group as big baddies.
Especially when the group normally are, all you’re doing is giving them extra ammunition to discredit your valid criticism and making “your team” look bad
Not saying this is real, but It only takes a small percentage of people in a group to prove a stereotype true.
We lived in Texas fifteen or twenty years ago and sold a bedframe on Craigslist. This guy showed up with his young son, gave my husband an envelope that presumably had cash in it, and started hauling the bed frame out. Fortunately he opened the envelope before they left and it had a religious flyer in it, no money. He showed me and I stopped the guy and was like, where’s our money? He said that he was taking it for church charity and that he thought the bedframe was free. I called him out for being a fucking liar in front of his kid and threw him out. He didn’t think anyone would give him any shit in front of the little boy but he learned better.
The only thing I doubt in this story is the last 3 words.
Good point
An envelope is a huge red flag, seen too many online marketplace deals to accept anything but visible cash. The audacity of that man.
All my ads end with: “Cash ONLY, no apps, no exceptions. All exchanges made at the (Local) Police Station.”
Very clear, and yet people still want to pay by app, or meet somewhere else, like at a gas station NEAR the police station. I often hear “I’m not comfortable going near the police station,” and I think “That’s exactly why I do it at the police station.”
Laughing that you think being near a police station is doing you any favors. Pigs are more likely to tell you to shove off than give a shit about your problems.
No one in their right mind should ever feel comfortable being near a police station.
And you will never own one of the beautiful guitars that I’ve rescued, cleaned, repaired, restrung, set up properly, and sold cheap because I want to help someone else get off on their guitar journey on the right foot.
First of all, we don’t go INTO the police station. The exchange takes place in the parking lot, where there is a SIGN that specifically says it it a safe place for social media exchanges because it is video-monitored. ALL police stations have an exchange spot these days, it’s not only normal, it’s the RECOMMENDED way to make an exchange.
Nobody is sniffing up anybody for weed, as one poster soeculated. That’s just childish weed paranoia. That’s so 20th century. Who worries about that these days?
Nobody hates cops more than me, trust me, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be useful to me on my terms. I’ve done this MANY times, and I’ve only had anyone approach me one time, and it was the last time I met someone. I met them at a different police station that was closer to them, and while we were talking, a police car pulled into the lot. It was the end of their shift, but they saw a couple of civilians talking so they asked if the could help with anything. I just said No, they’re buying this guitar from me, and they said Cool, and walked away. They seemed pleased to not have to engage further, I think they only approached because they felt obligated to check it out, in case the boss was watching.
There are a lot of scammers, or worse, trying to get me to meet anywhere else. Like when I get a message at midnight on a Saturday night for some obscure McGuffin I’m selling, willing to pay an extra fee if I’ll meet them somewhere weird, but it has to be RIGHT NOW, late at night, because they can’t possibly wait until Sunday morning to get this thing that is not essential to anyone. Sure, you’re not going to mug me, steal the McGuffin AND my car.
The only people who think it’s weird to meet at a police station are people who DON’T buy stuff online. People who do, are totally comfortable with it, because they understand that it protects BOTH of us. Those who won’t, are up to something.
Unless the buyer isn’t white. :P
White or black, no one should feel safe near the pig’s base of operations.
the singular “pig’s” makes this read differently
<ominous> Do not feel safe near the base of operations of the pig. </ominous>
Lol, now I’m gonna start saying “the Pig” instead of “the Man”.
Tbf there’s plenty reasons other than “robbing you” that people wouldn’t like cops, personally mine is “I constantly smell like weed which is illegal here and I don’t want to jeopardize my freedom,” for some others it may be “I’m black,” etc.
That said they can’t get mad if you’re unwilling to do the deal in another highly public place. If I asked “can we do it at the nearby gas station” and you said “no” I’d maybe think you’re overly cautious but that’s your right, I’m being overly cautious too about not getting arrested for smoking weed so I get it, “ok good luck, not for me then.”
Just saw a video of someone exchanging a bike at a busy WaWa, and the guy jumped on the bike and rode off. Being in a busy public place does not protect you at all.
Besides, the cops have to get close enough to sniff you, and they aren’t bothering with a couple of locals in the parking lot handing a guitar back and forth. You’d have to walk all the way out there, and that sounds like work, where are the donuts?
And besides again, it’s the 21st century, nobody gives a shit about weed. If you’re that paranoid, maybe you should cut back a bit. I’ve probably smoked your weight in weed, and I’ve never been that flakey about cops.
Keep it chained until cash in hand, rookie mistake. Also still not super common especially if it’s you and a friend, it happens but eh.
And besides again, it’s the 21st century, nobody gives a shit about weed.
In your state maybe lol, some states still literally put you in jail for weed, and the cops love doing it because it’s easy to catch, not risky like real criminals, and boosts their numbers. In some states you’d be safer open carrying a stolen handgun than hiding an ounce in your bag, they won’t get close enough to read your serial numbers but god forbid if you smell like you’re fun.
I was pulled over for speeding a couple weeks ago and the pig pulled the I smell marijuana on me. I smoke weed, but I was out of town working. Didn’t smoke any. I’ve never even smoked in my truck, and I didn’t have any on me. Clean clothes freshly showered. I got a little rude with him, we had a staring contest, and he went back to his vehicle. When he came back he apologized for accusing me, and still gave me a ticket.
He went on to preach about how if he hadn’t said anything that would make him a lazy cop, and a lazy cop isn’t a good cop. Motherfucker was about 5’8" and probably close to 300 pounds. Egg shaped. And he’s got the audacity to say a lazy cop is a bad cop.
Cops will still try to ruin your life over weed. If he’d decided that I was high, I would’ve been tested, which would have been positive because weed stays in your system for a month or more, so I would’ve gotten a DUI. This would cost around $10,000 and cause me to lose my job.
All of this is why I only buy things new or used from stores that ship to my home. I guess it’s a form of social dysfunction on my part.
I even count it out when paying and ask them to count it again. I’m paranoid I might miscount!
You worked retail too?
Sure did! Home Depot Class of 12’
having to be responsible for counting out $1k+ cash handed to me while working the pro checkout was an experience
An envelope is a huge red flag
The real ones use a locked briefcase handcuffed to their own wrist.
Was Jay-sus watching when she decided to have 4 chilluns out of wedlock?
You don’t know that at all she could be a widow or husband bailed or any thousands of options, never mentioning there’s nothing wrong with that but be misogynist i guess.
Yes, yes he was…
Jesus is watching your kids suffer and does nothing.
And he’s omnipotent and omnipresent, and does NOTHING.
If Jesus doesn’t give a fuck about your 4 sad kids, lady, I got nothing for you lol
Didn’t you hear? He’s just testing her! By intentionally putting her through torture! To see if she will stay loyal to him! And of course she will, or else!
Jesus loves all, and the love of Jesus is the most beautiful and totally non-toxic relationship to be had… 😌🌸
poor kids
should’ve prayed better
Thank you God for fixing the cataracts of Sam’s mum! 🎶

I hear he gave Smokin’ Joe 18 arm to send the appropriate message here.
Yeah I’m sure if Jesus was watching he would agree she is out of line
Jesus operated a carpentry business. I’m sure he knows all about dealing with difficult customers.
He quit to become the Messiah, didn’t he? That was probably easier than retail customer service.
I literally led the campaign to form a 600 person union. I was buried in bullshit from the company every single day for over 3 years.
Still preferable to when I worked at Aldi.
Thank you for your service.
(The unionizing part, not the Aldi part. Even though I like Aldi.)
Dying on the cross was easier than customer service

Haha. Judas was just a disgruntled customer with a lot of time and creativity.

He would probably nail them to a board.
Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world

Jesus was an architect
I’d heard he was a stonemason because there aren’t a lot of trees in Israel, so carpenter isn’t the best translation. I have no idea if that’s true, but it sounds plausible.
Seems like Jesus is pretty adept at telling this person no as well, given their circumstances.
Feel bad for her kids, she obviously gaslights her kids with this shit too.
She’s obviously a scamming reseller.
I’ve known enough entitled religious freaks that the jury is still out on this.
Yeeeep.
I grew up in such a family, surrounded by other such families.
People who aren’t from that just don’t believe you when you tell them how awful and insane these people often are… and that’s actually been not taken seriously enough, for so long, that we just now have theocratic fascists in many prominent government positions now, and live in a fascist state.
People didn’t see fascist be 1:1 with past facists and thought “nah, not the same, you are overreacting”.
Actually, I think even if they had been 1:1 with them, people would have found excuses.
Yes.
They would have.
Because they are fascists, and fascists fundamentally cannot think objectively.
She’s one of the good apples, hasn’t even drowned her kids in the tub once!

There are real examples of this, why did you feel the need to make a fake one
