So awhile back I was talking to someone about buying this laptop off him. All went well, we talked about the device ( it had a scratch on it) and was happy to go ahead with the sale. It takes me 2 hours to get to the city where he located, halfways driving there he sends me a message saying it's off! I tried ringing him he turned off his phone...soo at this point am really annoyed driving back after wasting money on fuel and tolls. Then at 5 am I get this lengthy response message and yeah here it is...

So, TL:DR is basically:

> be seller

> "Selling laptop, meet me at apartment"

> puts phone to airplane mode and sleeps in bed

> be surprised when potential buyers offer to meet up and buy laptop

> try to make the most long-winded excuse in the universe about struggling with smoking and rental

> be surprised when potential buyer doesn't want to buy laptop anymore

They could just be one of those outcast weirdo lonely guys that just penned exactly why they have no friends.

 

Either that or a scammer, 50/50 if you can guess.

Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.  Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding.

Pathetic. I had viral pneumonia and was up and running after a few days.
