Dress Bitch

I can't imagine paying full price for a wedding dress that I plan on wearing once or twice. So I began my real search for a dress on KSL.com classifieds. I ran into a couple reeeeal sweet ladies. Here is the email I sent one darling:

I am interested in your dress. I am slightly confused about the pricing. Are you saying you would subtract $150 from your price because it needs to be cleaned (which costs $150). Making the total cost $200+ $150 cleaning= $350. Or are you saying the dress is $350 and I will need to clean it for an additional $150. Meaning $350 + $150 cleaning = $500 which is the same as a brand new dress?

From a buyers perspective it does not make good financial sense to purchase a $350 used dress that requires an additional $150 in cleaning if I can purchase a brand new dress for the same price. I can see paying $150 for the dress. I realize that is quite a bit lower than your listed price, but I am looking on KSL for a deal. If you don't get any better offers let me know. Thanks and Congratulations!

And then her response:

Thank you for your opinion... however I did not ask for a buyers perspective. I would not drop the price from what I paid just a couple months ago to $150. If you do not want to pay the price I am asking, then don't take the time to message me. I have had several offers on the dress since posting it at that lower rate, a couple of which are more than happy to pay that price because they, like you, came to ksl to find a deal and Im offering this dress at a rate lower than it can be bought brand new.

For future references, maybe keep in mind that if an ad doesnt specifically say "please, give me the opinions from a buyers perspective", it might be ok to not. Just a thought.

Thanks for your interest.

A couple weeks later I noticed her same ad on KSL.com....tragicly the price had been lowered to $200. Sad huh?

Stupid Red Camero

Parking is a beast on campus. I normally arrive 20 minutes early so I can circle the parking lot until i find a victim to stalk to their car. I followed a guy to his car this morning, turned on my blinker and waited for him to load his backpack and reverse.

And then, a red Camero speed up and whipped into the spot. Jerk. For a moment I thought of rolling down the window and yell, but instead I decided to do a little auto intimidation. (thanks to libby for the lessons) I sat in my car and watched him take my spot, I continued to sit there while he removed his backpack and opened his red bull. Then he noticed me still sitting there. I just stared at him. As he started walking towards the building I held up my phone to snap a pic of his licence. I didn’t really take a picture, but he sure thought I did. I slowly followed him to the school. He kept looking over is shoulder, and sure enough I was still following. I'm sure images of a large scratch along the door of his car or four deflated tires were flashing through his mind.

He walked in the building and I resumed my search for a parking spot. The parking Gods were smiling down because I found one on my next loop. As I pulled in, guess who was parked in the spot adjacent to mine? None other than the red Camero.

Do I leave a nasty note, deflate his tires with and extra bobbie pin in my ashtray or just ram him?
