Remember my short and sweet post from yesterday?
I’m extending that philosophy to today’s post as well because my head and my back hate my guts right now and are staging a mutiny. My innards are in utter chaos. I think it’s because I stressed them all out by spending the entire weekend hosting a garage sale at my former mother-in-law’s house and dealing with people who:
- want to buy $875 worth of stuff for 25¢
- think that “sale starts at 9:00 a.m.” means DOORBUSTERS AT DAWN
- think that “sale ends at 3:00 p.m., means HEY, CAN WE STAY FOR DINNER?
- don’t want what I’m selling
- want what I’m not selling
- don’t know what they want, but hey, can they use our bathroom while they mull it over?
- smell
Seriously, where do these people come from? Can’t they be quarantined or something?
I’m going to leave you with a funny from my bloggy friend Deb Wisker. She tries to be all grown up and mature on her blog but she’s not fooling me. Anyone who sends me jokes about blow jobs and erections and boobs, complete with visual aids, cannot be taken too seriously. If Deb and I ever meet in real life, I will piddle in my undies. And if she ever takes me off her email list, I will still piddle in my undies but not in a good way.
Enjoy:

I think my garage sale “guests” stopped by your sale. I agree with every single stinking (literally) example that you gave. And yeah, I’m still a bit pissed about some of the ruder ones.
don’t you just love people ! Lol
I have also had those people come to a garage sale before….
Hah ha ha that is funny. Short and sweet is nice. Have you checked out my blog appearance. Its still having its plastic surgery I’m afraid.
snort. aren’t people great???? hope you feel better.
I.don’t.do.garage.sales.
I mean, at one time in my penny-pinchin’ life, I did. But then I had encounters like yours this past weekend.
I tell myself I ‘make’ more just donating and taking the tax deduction.
But maybe I’m just weak.
That’s it…garage sales are for the strong.
You are the Mother Theresa of Garage Sales. Or something like that.
Blessings!

Least you HAD people come to your garage sale! We did one last year and I sold a cracked flower pot for 1$..that was IT! Hey I’ll even take the stinky, wantin’ to use my bathroom people as long as they’ll take the years of junk we’ve accumulated! LOL
ummm… thanks a lot btw! Now I HAVE to check Jim’s thumb! I’ve never heard that one before! rotflol!!
HAHAHA! That’s a good one
We’ve started giving everything to charity and writing it off. I’m so over garage sales.
Loved the list and joke at the end. Thanks for the laughs, as usual…
LOL Good luck with your garage sale, I know what you mean.
LMAO at Deb, go girl TYVM for the wonderful funny!!!

I totally love that! The first thing I did after reading this was to ask my hubby, “Hey, let me see your thumb for a minute”. LOL!!! I have to say that the whole theory is pretty accurate. Now I’m gonna be staring at all men’s thumbs from now on….gotta get my mind out of the gutter, I know.

I couldn’t read it through all the blinking!
where’s my ruler? It’s gotta be 5 times the length….
We always succeed with garage sales by HUGH Signs and a willingness to tolerate. A lot.

This was a great read!
And isn’t that just so true on the garage sales?
That’s a lot of useless facts to get stuck in my head and float around. Funny though. I wonder how many women checked their husband’s thumbs?

I hope your garage sale went well. I dont do them anymore because of those exact same reasons! Love your friend’s humor-birds of feather as they say. You two are funny peeps!
argh I feel your yardsale pain we where supposed to have one this weekend but it snowed! yah thats right! and pple still came out….and knocked on our door! who does that!?!
Garage sales scare me. I’m always baffled when people show up early too. It’s like, hello, do you still see me setting up? It’s why I specified a time so I’d be READY. Ugh.
And going to garage sales are an adventure too. Most of the time people are selling complete and utter crap. This one guy was trying to sell a pot with NO bottom for $5! I kid you not. Someone questioned him about it and he was all, “You can make your own bottom, right? The rest of the pot is still good..” I left soon after that.
You list a few of the many reasons why I refuse to do yard/garage sales. And I’m not fond of going to them either. ::::shudder::::: You are a better woman than I.
FWIW, you’d be incontinent of bladder and bowel if we ever met.
Thanks for the shout out! I was wondering why I got so many hits on my blog the other day!
I actually checked my thumb…and then realized I’m female.
