Other Workers At The Flea Market.

[Lots42]

When someone rents a booth at the flea market, they get a list of rules. Newbies tend not to follow these rules.

- The booths are designated by the lines in the cement. Do not go over these lines.

- For every booth you rent in the middle, you must leave two feet of space so people can cross though. Do not jam up against my booth. I have the required space. Back off.

- People in the middle row do not get parking spots next to their booths unless people on the outside row give them a spot. We got our spot. Get the hell out of it.

- Displays cannot be taller then five feet. Please don't bitch when management says take it down. Stupidity hurts my brain.

- Wait until the customers stop looking at my stuff before verbally trying to attract their attention.

- Oh yeah, verbally trying to attract their attention is also against the rules.

P.S. Would it kill you to put out some clean stuff? I'm not talking about getting every speck off of every golf ball but damn, that portable fan has SPIDER EGGS IN IT OMG WTF ::flee::

P.P.S. True story. Eggs. Holy Jesus.

Well, that just makes it hard to sell. Unless, of course, they find a customer who *wants* more spider eggs in their house, in which case it's a feature, not a bug, so to speak...

Spiders aren't bugs! (antymologist)[sic]

I was going to post that.

Heck, technically, neither are flies.

^-.-^

[Flood]

Spiders are too bugs!

Not all bugs are insects.

Etymologist here :P

[HYHYBT]

I didn't say that spiders were bugs. Just the opposite, in fact...

Ew ew ew ew ew ew!!!! Spiders!!! They must all die...or go nest in that one guy's head who I totally hate.

I know of a small shop that sells toys and cards and vintage stuff. They sometimes set-up at a flea market. There's a long-time store at the flea market that hates competition and goes so far as to lodge complaints against anyone selling stuff even REMOTELY like his, and posting defaming remarks on craigslist about any competition he encounters. He recently decided his arch nemisis was this small shop, and we actually had to have him leave several times because he'd go TO THEIR STORE and start an argument. His stuff is a rip-off anyway, and he advertises stuff he doesn't even sell. Several other vendors have been thinking of getting together and charging him with harasement. The guy is a serious trip!

I'm really hoping one of you meant "entomologist"...

Etymologist should work too .

[Broomjockey]

Etymologist should work too .

That's what I think too. Why would an entomologist know anything about spiders anyway?

True story -- someone sold border collie pups at a fleamarket near here, and later that week the police put out a message for everyone who bought a pup, because one of them turned out to be rabid.
