ODT'ers must have some horrible luck

[dondon48]

Because in the past week I've dealt with people that have had a water heater to break. A timing belt to break. A unexpected bill to show up. A speeding ticket. And one that simply thought it'd be better to spend $150 more for something they couldn't wait two days to get.

Or they could not have bad luck and simply thought spinning a yarn would have been better than just saying "I changed my mind". Hint, being honest sits better IMO.

You really expect them to admit being d'bags?

I had to come up with some excuse other than "I had to pay my PO Supervision fees."

nah even now its just a huge pita to some people to try to sell stuff

other week i bought a car at an estate sale. clean le sabre 1 owner
lady said her mother stopped driving it because it would cut out.
i bought it for 100 dollars and towed it home. found out it had
a bad ign switch. it runs and drives good tires ac works. put
it up on craigslist,figured i would sell it quick for 600 bucks.

but all i got were, How long have you owned the vehicle?
would you take payments a couple no shows and other
bottom of the barrel tirekickery type of crap so i will
probably end up parting it out and then scraping it

i dont guarantee 500 dollar running and driving cars.
sux i like working on old cars but you just cant deal with
90+% of these farkwards anymore

Uh, why?

Why what? Me fixing the water heater faux pas or the transformers? If it's the transformers, I just have weird hobbies, that's the best way to put it.

Its better than "I ran out of gas on my way to you. Will you take $560 now instead of our agreed upon $600..."

The transformers.
Just thought there must be an easier way.

Certainly would have been easier with a forklift, pickup truck, or even a engine hoist. None of which were available. (Well I could have driven my truck, but this was impromptu.) I did work a little smarter though, we had unlimited pallets available. So I made a "staircase" to the jeep's rear cargo section. It was only terrible.
