Rummaging

So today I put some junk out for others to rummage through and offer me money in return for my used goods. First off, people are amazingly strange creatures. I mean it seems odd enough to put your personal belongings out a patch of sidewalk and let others rifle through and sort of see who you are and then decide if they like what there is or not. Then there are the crazies that try to dismantle and explore everything on display. This bizarre looking lady with a mullet type hairdo began opening the packaging of this bonzai box and picked up two shirts and asked their price. Jake says "A dollar each," she says "a dollar for both?" and he said "no, two dollars. Each a dollar." and then she puts them down and leaves. Then some people were just plain insulting. I had this somewhat hideous goldish puffy jacket with a fur lined hood out for sale. This lady tried it on, I told her how much it was, she says "oh, the sleeves are too short [which they weren't] and then says and it's for my daughter, but she's not this big. I think my glare said enough to her that she took off the jacket and left. Whatever I guess, I got rid of some junk, made $32, and got to spend a beautiful afternoon sitting outside with some friends watching some pretty odd people. classic.
