Got this email regarding my car which I advertised - 99% sure its a scam.


Gut feeling, in my experience, is always the best insurance. 99% sure? therefore I wouldn't touch it, especially when they start asking for bank details.

I've just gone out into the kitchen to find the washing up bowl half filled with some cold water and a few items in it courtesy of my husband.  This drives me absolutely mad.  We have a bloody dishwasher, either put the stuff in there or wash it up in the bowl, don't just leave it.  There's nothing worse than fishing out items from cold dirty water.

It's probably the old send you too much cash, ask you to send some back, cancel the original PayPal transaction scam. I'm 100%
Sure there isn't a barge pole long enough to touch that with.

I hear you on that. My Mrs does the same then justifies it by saying she left out to soak. Lazy bitch Smiley

It's easier than doing it properly and when you come back to the kitchen the next day someone has washed-up.

Yep, scam central.

I emailed them back asking for them to pay in cash.

Spending nearly an hour trying to update a password and continually getting the same errors. I was trawling the internet high and wide for help while getting increasingly frustrated that all help only proved everything was correct. I then spotted the obvious and pathetic typo that I'd used each and every time.

I purchased some new muesli the other day, one that says, "no raisins." Terrific I think; fruit free muesli.

Well, if the cereal company was an oncologist they'd have said, "Yes we've removed the cancer, every last scrap, you're a perfectly cancer free zone." And as they're walking off they suddenly stop and turn around remembering something unimportant, "and before I forget, just a quick heads-up, in it's place we left a little bit of Aids."

They've stuck fucking dates in it. Dates. If I wanted shit in my cereal I'd eat the fucking litter tray.

Mornflake nutty muesli has no fruit or that type of shit in it. You can get it in Sainsburys.

In our old house we had a kitchen with the sink at the far end under the window. The dishwasher was the second unit on the left as you came in the door. I could never work out how random items of crockery were still carried past the dishwasher to be dumped in the sink by my kids.

Very rarely do the kids dump stuff in the sink
Instead preferring to dump them on the unit the dishwasher is in   No

Obv too hard to open the door and place inside

Cheers, I'll be buying that next time then. And next time I see you in there, I'll make more of an effort to say hello, as opposed to feeling awkward and unsure away from the internet. Smiley

If you don't like the fruit in it then make your own. Bag of rolled oats, some chopped nuts etc. and whatever else takes your fancy. Jobs a good 'un.
