Funny story about selling a monitor....
I just sold my Samsung Syncmaster 955df to a local for $85 and we decided to meet at a local Chick-Fil-A to make the exchange. We got there, put the monitor in his mom's CRV, and he, his brother, and I went in and ate some chicken and shot the shit a little.
We finish the meal and leave in our cars, me first, and I go along my way. I get home and am welcomed to this conversation: sp862: hey man sp862: you there SwissPatriotRG: yeah SwissPatriotRG: did you hook up the monitor? sp862: OMFG dude sp862: you arent going to believe what happened SwissPatriotRG: ? sp862: I hit a pole with my moms car in the chick fil a parking lot sp862: sp862: and it ****ed it up good SwissPatriotRG: what? sp862: yep sp862: I just now got home SwissPatriotRG: holy crap SwissPatriotRG: that totally sucks SwissPatriotRG: what happened? sp862: lol, I was trying to prevent teh monitor from falling sp862: and I turned too hard sp862: it sucked man SwissPatriotRG: why didnt you put the seat belt on it? sp862: oh well sp862: I was tellin my bro to push his seat back to secure it sp862: and thats when it happened sp862: you live and you learn SwissPatriotRG: dude, is the car ****ed up too? sp862: but I got the monitor hooked up sp862: yea the car is messed sp862: we had to have it towed SwissPatriotRG: geez SwissPatriotRG: i didnt see it sp862: yea SwissPatriotRG: aah, man sp862: it sucked sp862: but the monitor works great SwissPatriotRG: lol SwissPatriotRG: did the airbags come out or anything? *** Error while sending IM: This user is currently not logged on Not sure what happened at the end, it is possible his internet simply cut off, maybe I made a bad comment, maybe his mom came in and ripped the computer out of the wall after seeing her car in shambles. The guy didnt want it shipped, maybe he should have just let me do what I wanted to do first: ship it for like 10 bucks. We could have saved gas, a pricey meal at Chick-Fil-A, and a new-ish Honda CRV :shrug: Just thought someone might enjoy today's adventure

Urban dictionary usually helps in this matter:
shoot the shit: To chat idly about things that neither person involved in the conversation will be likely to remember. John: "We decided to shoot the shit for a while." Jeff: "Oh yeah? What'd you talk about?" John: "I don't remember."

Of course, why else would it be so derogatory?

yikes!
good thing the monitor didn't break and then ask you for a refund or something. lol, i've had that happen before. i sell a kid a part, he breaks it somehow, and then his parents ask me to refund the money. |
