Maybe they don't expect to be followed with each new thread they make. Maybe they felt more reason to mention it on that thread? Or made a point of not saying on here just because of the silly reasons given and you trying to get more information out of them. I dunno.

I suppose if pregnant and wanting to rest they may not want to get up unless they really need to so even if there's more to it it could still be part of the reason.

I still don't care what their reason is though, makes no difference to me.

Fishing not good enough? Going on a hunt now too eh? Lying in wait for the next thread ready to pounce

im sure had a car been across her drive the op would have stated its exact description, perhaps as a filthy rusty heap with missing wheel trim, some things can get blown out of proportion if left to the imagination, so lets agree on a large van, perhaps transit based!


I was unaware or the Tesco affair till posted here within, and as such the chair till I read the Tesco debackle was unbeknown to me, its just how the interweb works, as we have seen with the ebay name scenario. but thanks to the other diligent posters we are getting a fuller picture of events and how such would arise.
im of the same mind as it doesn't matter to me why a no answer was supplied but im just so [EMAIL="bl@@dy"]bl@@dy[/EMAIL] curious, if she is "actually" with child, again no evidence either way only her reason this time for a quick escape from her lodgings, again a reason neednt be given but op put it out there to cover her back (so to speak), and same could have been done here, I do prefer as im sure most readers will the truth as to the events, at the end of the day the op is being evasive at best, which we all know to be a trait of the guilty.
I always say, you can lead a horse to water but I forget how it ends.

She was annoyed at being ignored. The guy was angry. There's still no reason to assume it happened any other way than what the OP stated.

Besides anger online doesn't mean they act the same in person. People say many things online that they wouldn't ever say in person.

Ashley?

im note so sure im still a cheeky little rascal in real life, and I would suspect most posters attitude comes across in there posting style. unless your suggesting op has a split personality disorder, its now apparent as to the situation.


ps Ashley is the chair thread.

You may have been unaware but you made it sound like you'd be sure to look out for the next thread.

I haven't read the entire Tesco thread and I don't know anything about the chair.

I'm not suggesting they've got a personality disorder. Just that people say certain things online that they wouldn't say in real life. The internet gives people a way to complain/rant/discuss things that they otherwise probably wouldn't.

In real life if telling someone about an event there's the phrase 'I felt like saying...' well on the Internet it is said. It doesn't mean people have personality disorders, just that they feel they can say things online that they wouldn't in person. Their personality doesn't change, they'd have thought it in real life they just know better than to act on it.

it makes all the difference, but being the bigger person ill let it slide.;)


well now its turned into a saga, with more needed info to see the final picture im enthralled as to the next threads topic and its juxtaposition within this and others.


as the Tesco thread goes its ok and does link somewhat to the very sparsly posted chair topic, which leads me to believe that the op is "greasing the monkey" if you like or elaborating the point for attention in the Tesco thread, as the chair thread fell flat with no responders. obviously jmo but the more one peers in the more the light shines on things so we can get a feel for where the op is basing here one sided events.

You know some people may suggest she is a bit of a drama queen and as such would be loving the fact that a topic she started has now reached 22 pages.

If you say so

Well have fun waiting for that.

I see.

Yeah, but she's not on this thread replying which could suggest she couldn't care less about the drama.

im sure ive said a few times but good to see your now seeing the op for what she is.
op isn't replying to any thread, but who cares, this thread isn't about her, its about a seller who appears on door steps, a person who went out of his way even after being told not to, to be verbally taunted by the op, with the obvious rage that is apparent and well posted in the Tesco van scenario.

Lorry = over 7,5t, Van = under 7,5t. We use Sprinter 319's as you need a separate license over 3,5t, but our 515's are exactly the same vehicle to look at, except one has seats in the back, and the other doesn't.........

If pregnant and especially under the circumstances, I'd advise that the OP doesn't get wound up about everything that everyone else does.

Back to the original issue, I've asked if I could pick up a few items, as the seller was from the same town as my mother lives (5mi from here)

Turned out to be someone who I'd lived 2 doors down from; picked up items, took sellers to the pub for a catchup over a drink/dinner, went home.

I also asked if I could drop some bits off to someone living in the same town when selling, as I didn't want to post them (they were 2 vases I'd paid £1 for, but looked really nice.) Absolutely no problem, had a coffee with them, went home. I didn't want to spend money on postage with them going locally.

IMO, the OP is acting completely unreasonably to the situation presented. If she doesn't want someone in the house, just take the goods at the door, say thanks, everyone's happy.

They did keep replying though before. It's not like they started the threads and just left.

Just because they weren't hapy about the van doesn't mean they did anything wrong in this situation with the guy.

Showing rage online over a van is hardly the same as being surprised at someone turning up at your door. People react differently to different situations.

You were lucky you dealt with nice people and they were happy for you to pick up the items. Although picking them up as the buyer after asking and being told yes is not the same as being asked by the seller, saying no and having the sellers husband randomly turn up at your door the next morning.

She would have taken the goods if they'd been offered. She said she was annoyed at being ignored, not that she got annoyed with the guy when he was there. The guy got angry when she said in surprise that she wasn't expecting him - plenty of reasons why he could have got angry and not through any fault of the OP.

no, no, no, she refused the goods and has never said that she would have accepeted them, why have a no cold caller sign if you are going to take goods anyway its argumentative to have the such, which has been perfectly displayed in this and other threads by the op.
op is no longer posting on any thread started by herself either by lack of response due to the erelivance of the thread or the fact that she has no backers in her angry rantings on said Tesco thread.
she did do something to the van driver, report him to his employer to again cause trouble and then further look up for more legal reasons, she did not confront the driver directly instead acted in a underhand and cowardly manor.
everybody has seen the op for what she is except yourself, which is perhaps why folk are wondering why.


you seem to think that folk react differently online, but just open your mind to the fact that perhaps some don't, and as you say your not affiliated with the op you do seem blinkered to her random outbursts, yet you can see plenty of reasons why a delivery man can get angry for no reason due to the op even though nobody else was present, your seeing things just one sided.
if you cant see that then perhaps there is truth in your affiliation with the op.

Stop fishing, I'm not quoting where she said that again.

It's called making an exception or being polite..

I see why in the moment it annoyed her but it's not surprising she has no backers really for that. It wasn't there long and luckily there was no emergency. If the driver kept doing it, fair enough that could cause problems but a one off...

That does not change the original issue of this thread though where she said no and he came around anyway.

she did do something to the van driver, report him to his employer to again cause trouble and then further look up for more legal reasons, she did not confront the driver directly instead acted in a underhand and cowardly manor.

It's not always wise to confront people. Not everyone likes face to face situations either. Not saying she should have reported him, but sometimes a letter to a company is safer and has better results than other options (like confronting a guy on the street who is working and no doubt on a time limit).

I still think that you can't be certain how the situation with the sellers husband happened. So OP might be easily annoyed, they may not have wanted the guy at her door, she may prefer to keep people away with a sign, but that doesn't mean she was in anyway rude, nasty or bad tempered with the guy. You can tell from the tesco thread and you've said yourself, she didn't confront the driver. Why assume then that she'd confront this guy?

you seem to think that folk react differently online, but just open your mind to the fact that perhaps some don't, and as you say your not affiliated with the op you do seem blinkered to her random outbursts, yet you can see plenty of reasons why a delivery man can get angry for no reason due to the op even though nobody else was present, your seeing things just one sided.

I said some people can act differently online or use it as an outlet to vent. I never said everyone did or even that the OP only used it as an outlet to vent - just that it was a possibility and that you cannot assume from their behaviour online that they are like that in real life. They were replying calmly on this thread but that doesn't mean they felt calm in real life, same as they showed anger in the tesco thread but may have been pretty calm in real life.

I am going by the side that the OP stated and gave them advice on that because that's all we have. I can see that there are reasons OP could have been angry in that situation, I see why the guy could have been angry, I see why she'd be angry at the tesco van and I see why the reply to that is how it is.

Whether she got angry doesn't matter because she said no, the guy turned up. That was the issue, that's what I gave advice on, that's what they wanted. That's it.

With the tesco thing I'd say there was no emergency so just move on. No use getting annoyed and complaining for a one off 5 minute stop that didn't affect them. I'm not defending her, not defending tesco, just replying to the facts.

I'm not on here to judge and follow peoples threads to see how they react to things and how bad tempered they can be or whatever. I reply to what the OP has stated and if it's not true who cares? They don't gain anything and it makes no difference to me.
