Good thing you blocked him. Now he won't be able to buy your used pants!
I've sold tens of thousands of discontinued toys and I always get these crazy emails from people who have no intention of buying who are angry that I've marked the item up 300% (along with everyone else).
For some reason, there are these proactive people who get all worked up about every thing.
Great story: I was sitting in Borders reading magazines and this lady comes in panting and running towards the register and she is frantically yelling "a green Honda with license plate xxxxx (she had a little piece of paper with it written down) has its lights on." She waits by the exit while the associate goes to a microphone to announce it on the PA system. And then she stands waiting to see if anyone responds. About 3 minutes pass and nobody responds. She runs outside and comes back a minute later and goes "the lights are still on on that Honda." The associate says firmly "ma'am, let it go. I'm not making another announcement. The owner is probably in Starbucks next door." THe lady runs off to Starbucks and everyone is having a good laugh.
This thread reminded me of that.
"Hey you guise!! There are these piss stains on these pants and they're selling on the internets!"
