This rant has been simmering for a while. Some time ago I started PMing with a SOT about a can. I gave him my number and told him unknown caller go directly to voicemail. Leave a message or send a text. Several days later I get a one word text. What would you do? I normally delete BS texts as a phishing attempt.
it turns out that the one word text was just part of his ODT handle.
Can you think of a more f*cked up way to say “hi this is ******* I got your number from ODT”? And I told him so. A couple days later I bought a can from Quiet Riot.
Recently I was mildly interested in a gun for sale. It is an obscure twin for my EDC and I sent a PM with my name and number. 2 weeks later I still see the same weapon, relisted and bumped on a daily basis.
What the F*ck is wrong with people? What is so hard about having a conversation.. in each case I had already made the decision to buy. so I wasn’t even thinking about haggling. I guess there is an entire generation who cannot effectively communicate
