The Part Timers Forum used to have an on-going thread about posts that were odd/funny/stooopid/contained weird CS answers ~ or just generally considered silly or outrageous. The OP of the thread was "the medic", so while the PT group is still kickin', I thought it would be fun to start another similar thread.
Readers, if you run across a post, comment, feedback, etc., that is "off the beaten path", please add it to this thread. I read the community almost every day and will contribute when something catches my eye. Just something to break up the boredom of listing, revising, answering questions, and working around the eBay listing glitches ~ or waiting for something to sell

Well, call me slow, but I have no clue about either one....will have to pay more attention ~ oh, and up-thread, slow again, as I have no idea what a "mini delight" is, but I am pretty sure that if the picture is indeed, an "Asian pear", it would be of the Kim Kardashian variety!
OK, back to "mind in the gutter a la, Pam" funny threads ~ saw a post with this title the other day:

Or, just maybe ... the "amnesty" is backfiring ... someone who was a valued poster here got sent on a permanent vacation and when they got the notice that they were "forgiven" decided to play havoc with the boards because "why not" 😞

Thank you, penguins. I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice this. Pod people, body snatchers?
Why do always have to mention Alan and the new team in your posts Savanna? BTW, I'm pointing at your post with my mouth open screeching.

Excuse the cynic in me, but I'm prepared for joy, alright. The joy of false SNAD, the joy of beating ebay's shipping deadlines during a blizzard.
The joy of sales on 12/23 accompanied by the "This is a Christmas gift, please ship it to this address instead" note.
The joy of holiday party rentals. Every time I land on the board page & see this, I shiver a little bit.

@ecwolf Welcome to the PTers board!! It's always nice to see a friendly new face around here (though some of us do know you from the Selling board already). Please consider joining us on the very fun word game (sticky post). I have to warn you that with the pages loading so slowly it's become a bit of a train wreck with multiple posters posting at the same time - but, personally, I find that makes it both funny and interesting.
And take a look around because we have plenty of fun on-going threads in this group (home).
Regarding your post about the holidays, I am really hoping for a boost in traffic and sales, but I agree that the crazy demands by certain buyers are not my favorite part... Here's to hoping we all have a holiday sales season that is fruitful and smoooooth sailing.

Buyer wanting items (books/mags) to be deemed not as described by eBay if he found the price and/or rarity and/or desirability so irresistible he can't take the time to read the item description, before buying. What? 😱 😵 😖 😨 😠
OMGosh, I'm a huge buyer advocate, but this so ridiculous, that the word ridiculous is an adequate descriptor ... gigantis ridiculosity.
