t0shi0~They can buy it themselves.. *Wouldn't spend a penny on them* xp
Besides I pressume they do have headphones but they never bother to use them. X_X;

Tam~The cops around here can't do anything right. They just drive their squad car down the road to patrol several times, then leave. Sad is kids are smoking weed and they don't get caught. Along with dealing.

Yaile~ xd What if they're too big to carry?

... then just steal all the plugs so they can't plug it in XD

Then they'd just simple unseal them. Cutting their power would be more longer lasting but dangerous too..

steal their phone and electric bill so you don't have to cut their power and they can't call the electric company about not getting their bill xp

Wouldn't work out either.
rolleyes You need a key to open their mailbox. Too much work to steal and create a copy.

damn... well the next time they tell you turn down your music you say "What music? I don't have any turned on." and if they keep coming turn it up louder and if they call the cops on you say "I'll turn my music down when they turn down theirs," xp

The civial apporach.. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't call the cops since they're already in enought trouble.
I have a feeling we're not going to stop with the music either way.

oh well. it's either time to get ear muffs or start using earphones so you won't be able to hear their music and they won't be able to hear yours wink

I'm sure we both have headphones and most likely the stero or whatever can only fit one head phones in their household. I'm sure if they have four people that want to listen to the same song, why get headphones?

Besides they started it. 3nodding They've been at this since the day we moved here.

I wonder if staring uncaringly with out blinking and closing the doors in their faces after few seconds and just continue with what you were doing would help any.

God-damnit! Since when does returning someones mispriced item from the vend make you the bad guy?!

Anyways, I'm a member of another guild called the GVA (Gaia Venders Guild) and today I got embroiled in some intra-guild drama. A user named Lull, accidentally sold her Chain Wallet for 13.5k (http://www.gaiaonline.com/gaia/vend.php?logview=6774309) when it's valued at 135k -- she obviously slipped a zero. I was lucky enough to be able to snag it while I was vending at work.

She then PM'd me:

Quote:

Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2005 4:44 pm
Subject: Umm...

Oh my god. I hate myself.


I got antsy so I PM'd a friend of mine, Lachesia who has experience in picking up cheap items off the vend and getting into situations like this one. She replied with the general advice of "I can't tell you what to do, just do what you think is right." Then my boss decides to come out to my office to get files or whatever. I quickly replied to Lull and explained that couldn't really send it back immediately with my boss walking around in my office, so I told her I'd contact her ASAP when I got home.

I'm honestly not ignoring you, I'm at work right now so I can't really reply to you when my boss is here. Will you be on later tho? I promise we can talk about it then. I feel really bad from snagging it from you, but at the same time, I'm sure you more than understand the vender mentality.

Regards,
Charles


But before I got home and even before I could return the damned thing, she sent a PM with a token offer.

If I offered to pay a fee, would you?


Of course I took her offer, I never asked for a token offer. But since she offered it I wasn't going to say no. She gave me a Kiki Kitty in return for the CW.

Lull 2005-08-05 14:52:19 Completed trade


Then this user called Eldera comes on to flame me in a thread in the GVA where both Lull and I happen to be guild-mates. She didn't make the thread as the other venders did after realizing one of "our own" had made a vend mistake.

At first Eldera didn't seem so offensive and but called the whole situation sleazy. Which I replied assuming that Lull had filled her in on the details. She then said that our guild wasn't warm and nice enough. She suggested the idea that I wasn't helping with the guild and all that. To which it's kinda true, I don't post much in there, I'm rather inactive but still far more active than the other 31/56 nearly non-posting members and mules. I then mentioned, in a joking kind of way, that I hope her first impresion of me wasn't too sleazy... that's when the s**t hit the fan.

She then starts to flame me out of the blue, what's worse... without knowing the details! She calls me a backstabber! What the ******** is up with that?! Note that she doesn't even ask about the situation! Was I supposted to post my private conversations and correspondance with Lull for third parties to judge us by? Since when do third-parties need to be informed anyways... since when do they even have a right to open their mouths? Who said she was the judge, I don't see "The Honorable" before her name!!!

Excerpt from GVA Thread
Eldrea
Why would you make a positive first impression to me when you pull things like that?

We aren't "one big family" here because not enough people are attempting to make it so...you included.

I still think it is unacceptable what you did...I am not going to pat you on the back and say its ok, because honestly (this is my opinion) it isn't. This guild needs a boost of warmth to it, and backstabbing isn't going to do it.


I don't care if I have never met you before, I would have returned the wallet for the amount you bought it at.


Eldera,

Listen up. Before you jump to conclusions and call me a backstabber -- do your research.

I never asked her for anything. In fact, I'll include my exact PM to Lull. It is as follows:

Hey Lull,

I'm back at home now. Anyways... on my drive back I figured that since well you're a fellow guild mate and you did ask nicely, I guess I can take you up on the fee.

I'll let you start trade with whatever you feel is reasonable.

I hope that in the future the same consideration will be afforded to me. God knows that the last month or so was riddled by vend mistakes.

But anyways, just start trade. :nod:

Charles


She was the one who offered the fee, I never even mentioned it. I just said you can start trade "with whatever you feel is reasonable" and only after she brought it up. That was her call and she can back me up on that one.

You come in here on your high-horse throwing rocks out of your glass house, at least get your facts straight.


Argh! People like that make me so angry. It's especially unfortunate because I actually held Eldera's art in high regard and was considering a commission. Can't anymore -- not from an artist like that.

Eldera also happened to be a mod in that guild and while she did apologize after I had blasted her in my rebuttle. Bridges had already been burned as the damage had been done. She immediately went ahead and deleted the thread (I figure that was more for her own reputation than mine).

Anyways, long story short, I think you all know what comes next...

I hope this doesn't count as spamming.
@dasg: yeah I have to take the bus... hopefully I'll get of it by next year if I can pass My test the first time... or if the church near by would let me park in their parking lot. if they do i won't convert or anything but i'll donate^^
