  • Just a little bit over the top.

    Usually I say I don't get enough nice comments when I post my work. (The universe fails to recognize my greatness!) But now I think I've had too much of a good thing.

    So I post a little plush critter, with a note saying that it's for sale for $30. This is the comment I get:

    "YES! You don't know how long I've been waiting nor do you know the need there has been for this very thing! I want to thank you so much for making this awesomeness available -despite the limited supply- to the furry community. This... *weeps* This right here is what it's about, people. They say money cannot buy happiness or that miracles do not exist - well I'll tell you those persons have never visited this page! Again, thank you. *falls to feet and reveres*"

    My first reaction was to want to find something to hide behind. This kind of enthusiasm sounds like maybe he might want to wear the skin of the person he admires all Buffalo Bill style. But hey, I have a business to run, and he *probably* can't find my address and hunt me down, so what the hey, I shall respond.

    "Does that mean you'd like to buy it?"

    Guess what he says? No, go on, guess! Does he give me $30 in return for this "miracle" worthy of worship? This proof that money can buy happiness? Does he, in fact, want to purchase him some happiness?

    Why no. No he doesn't.

    LOL.

    (And I've already sold it to somebody else, so I'm not fussed about it. I'm just HIGHLY amused. )

    Sadly, I didn't even have to guess whether or not he wanted to buy it...I just knew the story was going to slide into his debilitating stupidity. I'm getting too good at predicting that. Too much experience.
    I'm sorry, but I've reached my maximum allowable exposure to stupidity limit for the day. I'll have to get back to you tomorrow.

      *shudders and hides under bed* I just had a flash back of someone who FB stalks my photos (there are four photographers, he follows only me) on the faire's page and acts like that. Luckily I know what he looks like and can hide when I see him when he is at the faire, he got....creepy.... and of course refuses to actually buy photos.

          That's mental! If I'm especially happy with a product (often something handmade) I will always compliment the seller on it - but that's after a purchase. And I don't really tend to gush. Gushing freaks me out!

            Methinks he was trying to butter you up so he could get a freebie. "Surely you could find it in your talented heart to give such an avid fan a discount? Wouldn't all my admiration be worth $30?"

            I tell ya, nothing quite sends gushers running like knowing you expect payment. I cannot count how many teenybopper fangirls on DeviantArt I have made STFU about drawing their damn fan characters by saying I do not do charity art.

              Same here. I'm very happy that you like my work, that I drew your fave character. I openly post my commission prices...are you interested in having me draw a one-of-a-kind portrait of your fave ESPECIALLY for you? No? Didn't think so....

                Actually after further discussion I think this guy is just insane. He's insisting that the reason he can't afford my $30 miracle is that he's in debt because he's spent all his money on Armani suits.

                    The only thing that comes to my mind with this guy is the phrase "It rubs the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again". I'd consider keeping a close eye on his activity regarding your page....
