Why is the person haggling a lower cost waiting for a deposit?
Man, I’ve known people like this. The worst is a combination of willfully bad memory and a lack of respect for what I was trying to say.
I think I’ll eat it now!
I think I’ll eat it n-
You ate my only food! Now I’m gonna starve!
I don’t believe someone does this on purpose. When would this work?
It’s not about it working. It’s about creating a narrative in their own head where they are the victim even if it’s a complete fabrication. Then they can pin all their recent troubles on something that isn’t their fault. “That asshole gave me a thumbs up, then went back on it! I needed that thing for success, and he’s the reason that didn’t happen.”
My mother-in-law. She rewrites history in her head and imagine stories where she’s the hero that didn’t actually happen.
It’s a coping mechanism to prevent her having to face and work on her own problems.
It took me 25 minutes to get rid of a Craigslist buyer once. He was buying a hand truck, a generic, wheeled truck.
But boy did he want to talk, and talk, and talk. Just gimme my $20 and go away now.
If I can’t get 100 for something it gets donated to the thrift shop. Its just not worse all the hassel.
I give those away on the Buy Nothing groups first. Thrift stores throw away what they can’t shelve, and you know you’re helping your neighbors directly.
Im sorta lucky in that we have a local charity run one that is a great place to donate and buy. Its not like goodwill or such.
But would you do $4k?
👍
How about 4•1k?
