      I think they’re saying they don’t have the money right now, but they have a means to get it. Not that they’re waiting for a deposit from the other person, lol

    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.

    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.

        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’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.”
