Best eBay seller response ever.

I get a fence gate latch off eBay [dog escaped and tried to eat neighbor chickens the other day]. No video, sorry. Liked to have seen this myself.

I send a pic and ask/make several comments on fit VS what auction txt and label on latch claim.

Get this and only this response.

Isn't this called 'Non Responsive' in Perry Mason speak? ;)

I haven't used ebay in forever. Had so many bad experiences with sellers, buyers, and the website/company itself.

My local postal carrier is not any better either.

I am wearing out the mailbox flag for them to pickup other peoples mail I keep getting. ;)

No way to know who is getting my mail on my block...

Im concerned snail mail won't be a thing for much longer. But the honest truth is that I rarely get anything in my mailbox that doesn't go immediately into the bin.

I tracked this for 3 mos when I was in WA. Not counting packages of things I ordered that could just as easily have been sent by UPS/Fedex less than 1% of items received in my mailbox were opened/read. Of those, I needed/used/responded to less than 40%, the other 60% were packaged cleverly enough to appear relevant but actually weren't.

"I rarely get anything in my mailbox that doesn't go immediately into the bin. "

I feel like it is the job I never wanted. Between parsing for other folks mail and looking for the few things I actually want a hard version of I actually get.

It goes like this:

>mailbox, red marker in hand to mark 'not at this addy' tennis wrist from raising mailbox flag.
>recycling bin, by garage door
>shredder inside front door.
> I go as far as tearing any portion with our name on it for the shredder tossing rest directly into the recyc/bin.

The good part... there isn't really one. ;O

This after every few moons being buried in crap mail on every flat surface in the house from lazy periods. ;)...

I just hope life stays this simple honestly. ;)
