That was a good thread, and it's a drat shame 14 Inch's insanity turned out to be real rather than an elaborate gimmick persona.

Things get gross on 34, then :stare: on 35. I had no idea 14 Inch sunk into whatever the gently caress that is. I've seen that thread up for a long time but never bothered clicking because I don't give a gently caress about Civics.

Edit: Woah I didn't realize everything exploded over the past two days.

Dude would go on weird rants that seemed like they were just for entertainment value, then before he gets 5150d he's all "yeah I've been self-medicating with meth for two years because adderall doesn't work as well anymore." He refused to consider that maybe, just maybe his lovely street drug addiction was causing him to grow fungus in his nose and all his other health problems.

Yeah, I feel kinda lovely now. I thought the whole thing was an exaggerated put-on. I wouldn't have been chuckling if I knew he was serious about how bad he felt.

Hope the guy gets the help he needs, as unlikely as that is from a 5150.

Have him gift the money to you. Keep the car and the money, and there's nothing paypal can do about it.

Nope, paypal sides with the buyer in a dispute, so you could wind up getting hosed if brochacho disputes a charge.

Also, Paypal LOVES to freeze accounts where you move a poo poo ton of cash, Mr. Nice can attest to that, and they don't have to unfreeze it for a lengthy period of time.

:thejoke: I know dude

The typical scam here is actually phishing for my account info. If I gave him an email address I'd get a link from "paypal" asking me to log into my account and then Jimmy would get my acct info.


I just love the idea that this Nigerian is frantically trying to translate my texts and come up with a response

speaking of craigslist scammers, they're creative on the rental market. Friend of mine was looking for a house to rent and there was two listings for the same address. One of them was a property rental agency asking for 1100. Another purported to be the owner and was asking only $700. When you email the "owner" they send back application forms and some story about how they're firing the rental agent so just ignore the signs in the yard. They're out of town and hurt/hospitalized so won't be home for a couple of weeks so they can't let you in, but give you permission to look through the windows.


I stopped my friend before she sent back any rental forms and read through the emails and I've dealt with enough of these that it was obvious to me what was going on. For confirmation I looked up the owner of the property. The owner was the rental agency that had the ad listed for 1100. I talked to them and they said it's been a pain in the rear end trying to get these types of scammers to quit snagging their listings for that bullshit. I can imagine they've had issues with people trespassing that had the "owner's" permission.

My mom and aunt have fallen for way too many scams even after I told them what to look out for. Aunt fell for the "this is Microsoft give us Remote Desktop access to fix your computer" thing twice, mom fell for some "charity" and lost $100.

At Petsmart buying a cat tree for the gf's cat thats recently been trying to claw my couch and I end up behind the single biggest "That_Fuckin_Guy(Vet).jpg" possible. Fat guy, arms covered in the Army's seal, intel battalion logos, prayers in lovely cursive, cargo shorts with a lovely glock with earth tone handles in an ill-fitting outside belt holster on his back hip (facing the wrong way, burying the barrel, another, smaller gun (looked like a PX4) strapped to his white socks in generic no slip black shoes, wearing a 7.62 shirt and a camo hat with a velcro subdued American flag patch in the front. He and his wife took 15 minutes at the register argueing with the guy about a coupon for bulk sized dog food. As we took our cart to the GF's 500L, we saw them getting in to a lifted Nissan Titan with a giant Punisher skull colored like the American flag and a "PROUD TO HAVE SERVED" sticker in the back window.

Only thing he was missing was the over sized knife
