Craigslist Characters
I'm trying to sell off all my furniture (if you are reading this, I hereby offer to give you my couch, futon, TV stand, and/or bed for FREE if it has not already been sold as of the time you accept the offer and you haul it out at a mutually agreed upon time prior to July 31), and I put ads on Craigslist indicating as such. A woman named Sherry emailed inquiring after the TV, so I gave her directions and we set a time for her to come by. She called a little while after she was due and said that she was having trouble finding the place, and was facing a Macy's.
I asked whether she was in Davis. She was not. I then got to listen to her conversation with her man.
Sherry: She's in Davis!
Man: What? Well you're the one that called and got the directions.
Sherry: You're the one that looked it up on Craigslist and said it was in Sacramento!
Man: Well there's just one for the whole area so I didn't see the city.
Me: Um, would you still like to come by tonight, or do you want to reschedule?
Sherry: Should we still go? You'll be late to work.
Man: Yeah let's go.
Sherry: But there's a lot of traffic now, your work might fire you.
Man: No it shouldn't be too long, we're not far from there.
Sherry: OK, but if you get fired, I'm dumping you!

They came by with their two kids and got the TV. The man was stoked at the good deal he got, and told the woman her mom would have to find another one because he wanted to keep it.
