Money, Customers and Annoying: Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

Today, I posted that I'm having a yard sale and listed a bunch of stuff I'm selling. People started messaging, asking me to send pictures and prices. That's why I'm having the yard sale, so I don't have to post pictures and prices! FML

Today, I went to my grandma's yard sale, only to find my baby pictures being sold for 25 cents each. FML

Today, I had a huge yard sale. Since I live in a good neighborhood, I decided to leave the stuff out tonight rather than pack it all in for only a few hours. The news didn't say anything about the impending severe thunderstorm. FML

Today, someone posted online a listing for a bicycle for sale, and accidentally put my phone number instead of their own. I have received more calls in one day than I have from friends and family in a week. FML

Classic internet marketplace

Today, I put something up for sale online. I provided all pertinent information in the description, and I had about a dozen replies. From the questions they asked, I have to conclude that NONE of those people actually read the description. FML

Today, I posted my phone for sale on Facebook. Someone hit me up to buy it and wanted me to meet them. I didn't really want to drive to them, but I'm a mom of two and I needed food and some extra cash, so I did it. The guy asked to look at the phone… and ran off with it. FML

Today, I had people coming over to buy some chairs from me. I took a screenshot of their profile because I was home alone, and watch enough ID to be cautious. I thought I'd sent it to my fiancé. I'd sent it to them instead. Now my anxiety is through the roof. FML

Today, the kids that live down the street had a yard sale in my yard while I wasn’t home. They sold a bunch of my daughter's toys, which I now have to replace. FML

Today, my friend posted my picture on Craigslist under the "men seeking men" section. I got 16 replies with 2 hours. He then decided to post another picture of me under "men seeking women" to compare results. The only reply I got was from a man. FML

Today, I was working at our garage sale with my dad. I sat outside for 2 hours, talked to three people, and sold nothing. My dad came outside and got angry at me, so I told him to give it a shot. He sold 3 things to the first guy who walked in. FML

Today, my friend put my phone number on Craigslist. I still can't find the ad, but obviously everyone else can because I still haven't stopped receiving naked pictures. FML

Just tell them they have to come to see the stuff. Hence the “yard sale” part.

Yeah, I get the same thing and it annoys me just as much. Contrary to popular belief, sometimes you still have to get off your ass and just go look at the stuff.

I've just done this. People dont wanna go look anymore, they want the convenience of not having to leave their house unless they have to. I sold more by just posting each individual item.

I have over 300 clothing items. I just had heart attack and surgery. Way too much to post individual. Need cash though.

You deserved It unless you stated that you wouldn't be sending photos. If you stated that, then they're the assholes

I stated clearly no photos. I said 3 different ways. Do not ask for photos. If you want to see, come to the sale. I have too many items to post photos. Listed all sizes and costs. Said, do not message me to ask for prices, sizes, or photos. They still did.
