A Vexing Communication

pyatWe are getting rid of our old dining room chairs on Freecyle. I received this communication in that regard:
"f your close i can use chairs badly here but i dont drive i have to find a ride so i may need a day or so plz let me know if i can get this asap ty so much
Ballsssssssssss"
The word(?) "Ballsssssssssss" was written in a large blue font.
I think it was the signature.

Date: 2008-02-27 05:04 pm (UTC)There are also people on freecycle that I think "I would NEVER give something to them" because their names are so offensive/annoying. There is someone KKKHR80@whatever.com and her name is heather and I wonder why the heck she has KKK in front of her name, ESPECIALLY since she uses yahoo or gmail or something where you have some choice in the matter. She's either really dumb, or really offensive. Oh yeah, tonguemybung is not a person I'm inclined to give stuff to, either. Geeze.

I don't think it's in good taste to have your personal hotmail email on your real estate sign.
Especially when said email address is hotlips69@hotmail.com (it was something like that)

People don't think.

Try this.
Date: 2008-02-28 03:08 am (UTC)Regarding your earlier communique, I feel uncertain of whether I should allow you to have the chairs in question. You see, we are a literary household, and the chairs are accustomed to occupants fluent in English, with both a command of the proper use of small words and a capacity for the use of polysylabic verbiage more suited to higher forms of lingual expression and reasoned discourse. Even as one not prone to assign sentience to inanimate objects, I can't help but feel that the chairs would be sad.
Therefore, should your earlier missive be rescinded and replaced with more fitting fare, you may have our chairs. Failing that, I fear I shall have to find them a more suitable home.
p.s. You must also agree to keep your ballsssssssss away from my daughtersssssssss.
