9/2 I'm selling something on ebay, and I just got this as a question
from a possible buyer: "dear seller i viewed ur item at ebay and
i developed and i want to know may be this item is in good
condition and i want tell that if you ready please mail me ASAP"
Anyone have a guess at a translation?
\_ How is this?
"[D]ear seller,
[I] viewed [your] item [on] ebay and [I] developed [an interest
in it] ... [I] want to know ... [if] this item is in good
condition ...
[I] want to tell you that [I will buy it from you] if
you [are] ready [to sell it to me directly].
[P]lease [e]mail me ASAP."
\_ finally, someone who understands language
\_ [PS: I am a hot Vietnamese chick who will show up in person
to buy your item. I will wear my slutty outfit so you will
sell it to me cheap, but then my boyfriend will show up so
you will become sexually frustrated. We will laugh at you
afterwards.]
\_ I got this reply from my car ad on craigslist. "Hi my name is
Katrina and Im interested in ur integra. I was wondering where
are u located. Im located in San Jose California. Let me noe
wassup. Thanks =)". Turns out Katrina is this uber-hot Vietnamese
chick. Pity she came to look at the car with her dad.
\_ You won't date a chick who has a father? What?
\_ I wasn't about to date her. She doesn't write well, and I
do have standards. However, I would have cut her a deal on
the car in exchange for services rendered.
\_ Wow, you're vile.
\_ Just say you can't bring yourself to date a "Katrina"
right now.
\_ So you only date English majors who write perfectly in
emails to ebay sellers? And hookers who would put out
for a used car discount. Yes, you have standards. Not
very good standards, but standards.
\_ What do you have against a consensual business
transaction between 2 adults?
\_ Who said I did?
\_ that particular service can't form the basis
of a business transaction in 49 states.
\_ You really need to work on your reading comprehension.
\_ Whatever. My post is on target. If you'd like to
make a specific correction, please do.
\_ craigslist != ebay. Like I said, your reading
comprehension needs work.
\_ and that somehow makes what I said off base?
maybe you have a better point to make and
would like to try again? or better yet, just
give your car to some hooker. whatever. |
