  • You mean I'm not already there?

    A guy came in the other day and asked if I would post a sign for him. We don't have a notice board, but my boss will sometimes post a flyer advertising a benefit or community function. I told the man that my manager has final say on anything like that, but if he wanted to leave a copy we would look at it. He went out to his vehicle, which was held together with duct tape. Grabbing a sign from the front seat, he pulled a strip of tape off the hood of his car and affixed it to the sign. He brought it in and handed it to me. It was sloppily printed with multicolored markers, and it advertised "BARGINS" at a yard sale.

    Yard Sale Guy: I advise you to put this in your window right now. The sale is tomorrow.
    Me: Is this sale for a benefit or a charity?
    YSG: Yeah, it's to benefit me.
    Me: I'm sorry, but you might as well take it with you. I know my manager won't post this.
    YSG: Yeah, well, you just have a good time in hell, then!

    There was one customer in the store at the time. YSG pointed at him and said, "You have a good time in hell too, sir!"

    Wow, that's one yard sale I would avoid like the plague.

      Um yeah...I'd be afraid that YSG would offer me a "bargin"...for my soul!

          I sort of wanted to go to the sale, just out of curiosity. Unfortunately, I had to be at work.

            Why can't he be like a normal person and mount signs in nearby neighborhoods leading to his house alerting them to the sale?

            Oh wait, nevermind. Too much easier to just harass a poor lady at a store.

              blas, might I remind you of the title of the website you're on? Besides, I'd almost be willing to bet any signs he'd put up would be taken down by others very quickly!

                  What is this "soul" you speak of?

                  Did I ever have one?

                  WHY DID NO-ONE TELL ME OF THIS?!
                  People may think I am a Satanist, but I'm really not.

                  Why would I worship those that I rule?

                    Whenever anyone tells me to go to hell (or something similar), I usually respond with "I'll see you there!" Or better yet, "I'll save you a seat!"

                      Take a look around.

                          I know this guy probably isn't tech-savvy (considering the state of the vehicle) but there are Facebook pages out there for this purpose, too. In our area there are like three pages alone for the surrounding towns to advertise flea markets and yard sales and other such "Bargains!"

                          He's just cranky. Maybe the wife is making him sell his preciouses.

                            You and all of your coworkers should write down all the crazy SCs they have had to deal with and then take turns pulling them out of a hat and re-enacting them at his Garage Sale.
