Businesses that offer groupon coupons and then complain about the quality of the customer.  ;D

Live and Learn.......  We did it three years ago when it first came around.  We made good cash; and the people that purchased were web savvy and fairly intelligent.  My big mistake was doing a second offer after Groupon started to advertise at 10am mid week.  The "quality" of client crashed and crashed big time.  I could write a book about it. 

I have had people call us and threaten to write poor reviews if we do not take them even though they are over the weight limits or outside the limitations.  Still four stars on Yelp which in my industry is remarkable even without doing business with bottom feeders.

In all fairness we have also run into some really great and nice people.  A few we remain in contact with to this day (: 

I just needed a rant for a second.  It has been a long summer......

People who join the DMF just to sell something in the "for Sale" section (their first post).
I'm not even sure why that bothers me.

It bothers me because I'm wondering if it's a scam.  [thumbsdown] I prefer to purchase things from people who have been on this forum for a while.

Over "hear" it's:

(I'm already going to hell so leave me alone - anyone in general, not you LMT - about being disrespectful this one time.)

Someone that disagrees with the facts.
Then you prove to them the facts, and then they change their argument completely in attempt to save face.

My ~25 year old USA-made Skilsaw lost a commutator pad and ate the brushes.
Replacement parts from Skil $41.

Brand new equivalent Skil (chinesium) saw ~$50.

Don't cry too much, putting new brushes on a 25 year old skilsaw is kinda like getting new boobs for your 60 year old wife.  Still a 60 year old wife  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Big plus. ;D
