High Horsey

 OMFG. I think I've seen the dumbest post EVER on the cheerleader board. It's funny that this moron is willing to throw away nearly $400 over supposed "ethics".

She's pissed that her buyer used her pictures and is reselling the same item before she even shipped it. She's combative with every person who replies to her and keep repeating shit about her "morals" and "ethics".  People in the group are like "Uhh, that's allowed you know" and she's all like:

I don't give a damn if the person who bought it sells it for a million dollars. To those who think this is wasted energy, I just refunded $375.00. It's not about the money, it's about principle and ethics. So thankful my energy is spent on ethics. 

She spent the next several posts bragging about being a professional photographer, being an Amazon associate and being on the "Governor's Task Force" and writing two bills for the state of Oklahoma. She argued with literally anyone and everyone touting her "morals and ethics" until the head cheerleader gave her the big boot into outer fucking space where she belonged. 

Never have I agreed with people so hard in that group...lol. She reminded me of a relative who continually low-key brags about their achievements all day every day on Facebook. 

A Wrinkle In Petty

 Yesterday I received one of the most petty complaints I've ever received about anything I've sold and that is saying something. 

Halfway around the world, Ukrainians are burying people in mass graves, inflation is sucking up every last dollar, people are having a hard time with day to day expenses in this country alone and I get this message on Etsy:

"was not the dress pictured. One of the orange ribbons is so terribly bent & twisted."

She paid $5 and change for the dress. It has two orange bow-ties on the waist - one is bent. Does she not know how to iron? Not have an iron? Can't put a couple of drops of water on it and press the wrinkled part down with her finger or use a hairdryer on it for a few seconds? WTF? She left me 4 stars and then bitched about this - she doesn't even say whether she wants anything or not, just bitching. 

This Is The Pits

 I have a tiny weird tramp art piece for sale that was in with a lot of smalls or jewelry I bought at an auction years back. I know jack shit about it, it's just an interesting little piece.

Yesterday I get a message:

"Can you tell me where it came from and what is it's meaning? Thank you"

WTF? I dunno man. I'm just selling it. I answer where I think I got it. I could be entirely wrong because I travel to other states and used to buy a lot of weird flats full of shit. And meaning? Who the fuck knows...maybe homeless Joe was bored that day.

Then I get this:

"Have any pieces broken or is it entirely intact?"

It's fuckin' $5 and I took pictures from a few angles - if you cannot tell from the picture that it is indeed, fine, then you need to piss off. I am not into answering 6,000 stupid questions to make what will boil down to $3 and change after all is said and done. I don't know why, but the questions irritate me. 

I'm in the process of adopting a cat from a kill-shelter - he had 24 hours to live and in order to save him I had to push through a mountain of paperwork and now have been having back and forth conversations with a rescue and a foster, have 50 million other things going on, and I just don't have the time for bullshit this week. The cat is priority #1. If this was an item I was selling for $50 and up, you bet I'd answer all and any questions, but the fact that it is under $10 and this person is already asking nitpicky shit raises red flags and annoys the shit out of me. If you don't have time to look at the fuckin' pictures, then I don't have time to answer you.
