    Then you'd get: "But it's in mint condition. Don't you trust me? Are you accusing me of lying?!?"
    We get that all the time in the used regular books business. They will tell us that a book is in "Mint" condition. First off. books are not minted, they're printed and bound, so the term "Mint" doesn't apply, but I can understand them not using our own jargon. What pisses me off is when they are beat to hell and I reject them for that, they have a fit.

    If you lie about the condition over the phone, I didn't waste your gas and time when you come here to sell the books you lied about, You did.

      Okay, as a fellow Houstonian, you CANNOT function in this city and complain about driving or traffic. You'd go insane the first time those stupid lights that don't allow you to turn between certain times trap you in their turn lane of DOOM for 20 minutes while you wait for a break in traffic to get out of the damn thing. Don't even get me started about the stop lights on all the on ramps! I mean, WTH?!?! Coming to a FULL STOP before you merge onto a 6-lane highway with a 65 mph limit = death. Well, for those that don't drive sexy new mustangs. /love car!

      As for the response, however hilarious, try "Well, that's not very Christian of you" next time. Lower complaint potential and more catbutt face potential. I mean, what are they going to say in their complaint: "he accused me of being a bad Christian"?

        In actuality, the book probably has a cover hanging on by a thread, water-damaged pages, and highlighting throughout, and notes that have nothing to do with the subject on every other page.

          Surely if she's selling textbooks to Lupo's store, she is a vendor. The store is the customer.
          The bookstore would be the customer. And don't call me Shirley.
