You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Selling stuff online is always annoying.

Been trying to sell something for the past few weeks, have a bunch of people asking if it's available, I say it is. I ask them how they prefer paying and they mention which method they prefer.

So then I say once they pay I can send it to them, then they just stop replying.

So you ask if it's available, state your preferred payment method, but then don't want to proceed any further?

People like that definitely have issues.

Part of me after I sell it wants to just not tell them, and when they tell me "I'm ready to pay" (if they even do) I'll be like "I'm ready to sell...3 weeks ago when someone bought it because they actually replied back".

This is the right thing to do though? Sell to the first person who gives you as much as you want for it.

Unless you’re dealing with someone you know and you’d have to deal with the fallout from that. Even so, if they’re going weeks without contact that’s on them.

Only reason I'm putting up with the wait is because I've had a few people already get to the "transfer the money and I'll send the tickets to you" stage and then they just stop replying when they said they'd prefer to transfer.

I haven't turned anyone down yet because I'm waiting for others, the second someone pays up its theirs even if someone else had already said they'd pay (but haven't yet).

Tickets for what?

Are they still available?

I prefer Zelle.

It's partly why I stopped doing Ebay auctions. Once had a dude say "why is your item 30$? Bob's item is 25$." Go buy it from Bob then

Get annoying questions so often.

First one is "Is it still available?" No, I just have the listing up because I enjoy people still bugging me about it.

Next is "how much" when it says the price in the ad (or if there's no price and it's just straight up "make an offer" people message just to ask me how much my offer is before they offer.....if I had a price point I would've just said it, I had a guy be like "My offer is $0" and then when I told him an actual price he's like "ok, and what's your best offer?" Again...I told you a price because you wanted me to give you a price. You think I'll say a price and be like "lol j/k, my best offer is 50% off")

And on top of that, the price is listed and they ask how much and I'll say the price and they'll either just stop the conversation right there or say it's too much....the price was in the ad already, why inquire then?! You think I'll be like "The ad says $100 but since you asked, I'll give it to you for $40"

It's partly why I stopped doing Ebay auctions. Once had a dude say "why is your item 30$? Bob's item is 25$." Go buy it from Bob then [emoji38]

There's so many things I could sell but the annoyance of dealing with all kinds of people and the obvious shady ones too I don't care to deal with. If it's something I can ship I'll just tell them I'll ship it.

You put a price, no matter what the price is there will ALWAYS be people being like "THAT'S TOO MUCH!" and people asking for half off whatever the price is.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

When you're walking on a sidewalk, aisle, or anywhere really with a somewhat narrow pathway and the person infront of you is either walking in the middle (so you can't pass them on either side) or they're walking more towards one side so you try passing them on the more open side but then they start walking almost diagonally (like a 10 degree angle or something) so now when you're about to try passing them on that side you can't and instead have to suddenly go from the other side.

Similarly, when you're walking one way and one or more people are walking the other way. You keep to one side but the one or more people don't bother with any sort of courtesy to keep to their right as well and now you have to suddenly get out of their way.

I feel this one is directed at me [emoji23]

I'm such a sporadic walker. I don't even know where my feet are taking me 99% of the time, lol. Just know it probably isn't always on purpose, Maj [emoji1787]

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I received an e-mail from my employer's IT department with instructions on registering my devices. When I scanned the QR code with my phone, I got RickRoll'd.

After getting over my initial anger, I tried to register my laptop by going through their web page on the company website. After clicking on a short URL on their page, I got RickRoll'd. Again.

I wrote a strongly-worded e-mail to the IT department and copied my bosses. And I started a new job serach.

This is admittedly hilarious!

This is me but in grocery aisles. I do the "which way we going" dance

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Asking a question online and the only (or first) response is just:

"Google it"


Thanks, I never thought of that! This google thing is new? Do others know about it!?

Clearly I've googled it which is why I'm asking. The answers I've gotten online were either non existent, unclear or contradicting which is why I'm asking for a more personalized answer.

Have you tried... Bing'ing it?? Man, that does not roll off the tongue, lol.

Honestly, ChatGPT has been a saving grace for me. I brought this up back when I first tried it. I searched for years (literally) on how to do something using DaVinci Resolve, including asking on their forum, and I couldn't ever figure it out. I asked ChatGPT once, and boom!

Even if something was unclear, I could ask it more answers and it could assist me from there. It has worked wonders with the majority of what I ask it.

These days, I really help it with my math class stuff all the time in a logistical manner.

Same here with Meta AI, instead of using search engines I'm asking the AI bot and getting way better results

Sounds like a tool I will stubbornly refuse to use like im the chosen one from the matrix until one day I break down and then have to wonder why I avoided it for so long
