Minor. But I need to vent.
Have been looking for a particular item for a while. Found one for sale online, new in the box, spiffy accessories, had been listed for a while without selling. Email the seller, we agree on a price. Email him back all the details so that we can complete the transaction.
Seller emails me back 5 minutes later explaining that he f’d up…another person with the same first name IM’d him, seller assumed that was me and concluded Paypal with them right there.
Immediately afterwards he saw my email. In his words “egg on his face”.
Fuck fuck fuck. This is not critical in the grand scheme of things but in a very small way it feels like picking the winning numbers to last weeks lottery.
I’d kick something if it weren’t for my broken toe (see previous rant). And yes I’ve asked him whether he can refund the guy’s money (no harm no foul) since we had a deal but frankly I doubt it’ll happen.
