I was bidding on wool felt lot. 39 colors of 9x12" . Usually retails for $39 plus tax.
(Wool felt, for those of you not in The Know is easier to work with and lasts longer than the acrylic stuff you get at any craft store. Prettier colors, too.)
My top bid about $36. That way, I would view it as I bought it at regular price and got free shipping.
I have watched this auction go to $46.
If you go to the sellers regular website ( which is easy to get to and navigate, *you can just buy the lot there for $39 and some change. * The shipping for this seller is reasonable.
Being the nosey nora that I am, I investigated the High Bidder’s past purchases and she has been on a major Wool Felt Buying Spree. …so, why can’t I have the felt at My Lower Price and she can sit at home with her recent purchases to do whatever it is she is going to do? Huh huh? Does she have to be so greedy?
I.don’t.get.it.
Why do people do this? Why do they get so caught up in The Win that they forget the Bottom Line?
Did I miss the memo?
Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to vent this curiosity and annoyance.
Remember that thing I ordered off eBay I told everyone about? Still not here. Why?
The seller wrote my friend’s shipping address wrong and it got sent back to her. She’s going to send it again…with the CORRECT address written down. :smack:
If you make a Homeless Sock Basket to put all the mismatched socks, eventually they will spawn until they are like Tribbles or the mate will find its way back to the fold just after you toss out its spouse after years of patiently waiting.
YMMV, but I swear this is what happens at my house.
I don’t post very much, but I’m just generally pissed off at the moment, so I picked the PIT thread with the lowest count and don’t even have the energy to even …
Why the fucking FUCK can I not get GLASS pony beads??? Is it so DAMN HARD to make glass ones? Damn cheap plastic goatfelching pony beads. The manufacturers were even too lazy to trim all the flash off! Yeah, that stupid tab of plastic looks REAL GOOD hanging off the bead!!! Stupid SHITS!
TONGUE MY SNATCH YOU PLASTIC BEAD MAKING MOTHERFUCKERS
My diagnosis professor, who has a Masters degree and has been working for at least 10 years in a hospital-based setting, says the following words:
diagnosises
axises
OMFG. I want to rip my ears off every damn time I hear her say those words. You’re a damn professional for chrissake! She also said supposably one day. I died a little inside.
Unlike the rest of you, I know where my socks go when they disappear. My husband loses his socks, and then wears mine, and then loses them. I was down to one mismatched pair with a hole in the toe, and I watched in disbelief as he put them on HIS feet. Fucking husband. Curse you.
Curse you building management, for STILL not letting me use the bathrooms on my floor and making me take an elevator trip every time I have to pee. (Yes, still worthy of a minor pit rant. I’ll probably bring it back next week too.)
Fucking idiots on the streetcar who refuse to move to the back where it’s not crowded. I’m smarter than you so I get to sit down in the back while you’re all squished up front. But you’re still fucking idiots.
I’d also like to say that Amazon Floozy Goddess’s post in this thread is the funniest thing I have read in a really long time. I mean, if there’s ever been anything to get all cursing-in-giant-red-font-mad about, it’s pony beads. Preach it, sister!
My 1 gig memory card. I bought you when I got my PDA so I could load you up with MP3s and video files to watch and listen to on my PDA. Then I decided taht I wanted a USB drive, and figured, why not just get a small SD card reader that would be the saem size as a USB drive, but save me money. Well, of course, you HAD to go and get yourself lost the DAY I get the card reader, didn’t you? Now I have the completly useless 32 mB card that came with the PDA. 32 MB? That is too small for anything practical.
I got my card reader in for my digital camera last night and why oh why do they have to package it in that stupid plastic thing? I hurt myself and destroyed the packaging trying to get it out. Grrr…
I am laying here in labor, struggling to bring forth a 9 pound, 7 ounce baby. I am exhausted after bearing this burden of a pregnancy and it is HARD WORK getting through these contractions.
I know a woman in labor is No Big Deal to you two orderlies/nurse’s aides/useless pieces of humanity, standing over there GABBING. Standing there YAKKING about fucking stupid weekend plans or some other useless topic, waiting for me to get this birth over with so you have something.
Well SHUT THE FUCK UP. I’d like to be able to concentrate, here, and have this baby. But do I say anything? Noooo, not Ellen, who is laboring and panting and struggling to bring forth this monster infant and for whom this entire assemblage is gathering in L&D Room #5.
Ok, ok … So my 9-pound, 7-ounce cutie is now a whopping 23 pounds and celebrated his first birthday Sept. 12 and I am STILL not over these wing-wangs who wouldn’t shut up while I was in labor … and I’m still mightily pissed at myself for not yelling SHUT THE FUCK UP at them at the top of my lungs. I can’t believe I let the opportunity to be a legitimate Class A bitch pass me by!
Hey! Battlefield 2 players! If you’re gonna be a squad leader, lead the freaking squad! Don’t be a sniper and hide on top of a cliff so that when people spawn on you, they’re either (a) standing on top of a cliff drawing machine fire so that both of you die, or (b) falling! (cliff, remember), and if they happen to survive that, they still have to run halfway across the map to where you want them to be. Also, don’t fly around in fighters–we can’t spawn in on you when that happens. Also, if you’re going to be sneaky and fly around in a transport chopper so we CAN spawn in on you, don’t fly so high that if we jump out to attack the base you’re hovering over, we drift halfway across the freaking map before we land.
Here, here. I had that same type of indestructable plastic for my card reader, as well. The worst part? The only way to open it is to use something large and sharp, but they put all the freakin’ ducimentation in the entire space, so there is no way ot open the package without destroying the manual, etc… Not that I need a manual, but what if I bought something that did need one? Argh. Why sdo manufactorers use packaging like that? It’s horrible!
Good thread because I didn’t want to start a whole tread.
Producers of “Commander and Chief”: Get your fucking stick-on pictures of Geena Davis off my fucking one dollar bills you bitches. That’s my fucking currency!
