We lived in Texas fifteen or twenty years ago and sold a bedframe on Craigslist. This guy showed up with his young son, gave my husband an envelope that presumably had cash in it, and started hauling the bed frame out. Fortunately he opened the envelope before they left and it had a religious flyer in it, no money. He showed me and I stopped the guy and was like, where's our money? He said that he was taking it for church charity and that he thought the bedframe was free. I called him out for being a fucking liar in front of his kid and threw him out. He didn't think anyone would give him any shit in front of the little boy but he learned better.

An envelope is a huge red flag, seen too many online marketplace deals to accept anything but visible cash. The audacity of that man.
I even count it out when paying and ask them to count it again. I'm paranoid I might miscount!
All my ads end with: "Cash ONLY, no apps, no exceptions. All exchanges made at the (Local) Police Station."
Very clear, and yet people still want to pay by app, or meet somewhere else, like at a gas station NEAR the police station. I often hear "I'm not comfortable going near the police station," and I think "That's exactly why I do it at the police station."
Laughing that you think being near a police station is doing you any favors. Pigs are more likely to tell you to shove off than give a shit about your problems.
No one in their right mind should ever feel comfortable being near a police station.

Tbf there's plenty reasons other than "robbing you" that people wouldn't like cops, personally mine is "I constantly smell like weed which is illegal here and I don't want to jeopardize my freedom," for some others it may be "I'm black," etc.
That said they can't get mad if you're unwilling to do the deal in another highly public place. If I asked "can we do it at the nearby gas station" and you said "no" I'd maybe think you're overly cautious but that's your right, I'm being overly cautious too about not getting arrested for smoking weed so I get it, "ok good luck, not for me then."

The only thing I doubt in this story is the last 3 words.
Good point
Yeah I'm sure if Jesus was watching he would agree she is out of line
Jesus operated a carpentry business. I'm sure he knows all about dealing with difficult customers.
He quit to become the Messiah, didn’t he? That was probably easier than retail customer service.
I literally led the campaign to form a 600 person union. I was buried in bullshit from the company every single day for over 3 years.
Still preferable to when I worked at Aldi.
Thank you for your service.
(The unionizing part, not the Aldi part. Even though I like Aldi.)
Dying on the cross was easier than customer service
"I'll give you a refund over my dead body."
three days later...
Haha. Judas was just a disgruntled customer with a lot of time and creativity.
Time to get the whip
He would probably nail them to a board.

Real texts. So real
It only seems fake because they cut off the part that they said "sir.. sorry, I will give it to you for free"
What are you even talking about? This obviously fake as fuck shit really did happen!

Jesus is watching your kids suffer and does nothing.
And he's omnipotent and omnipresent, and does NOTHING.
If Jesus doesn't give a fuck about your 4 sad kids, lady, I got nothing for you lol

"Clearly, god is testing you and your kids. I will not risk hell by helping you cheat in his test."
I would prefer:
"I know, which is why I am giving it for free to a single mother of 5 children who is also interested."
practice Calvinism, get Calvinisim
There are real examples of this, why did you feel the need to make a fake one
Classic
NEXT!
Such a power word, apparently. It's poetry.
Transporation
My biggest residual craving from leaving reddit is interaction horror story screenshots like this.
Feel bad for her kids, she obviously gaslights her kids with this shit too.
She's obviously a scamming reseller.
I've known enough entitled religious freaks that the jury is still out on this.
Yeeeep.
I grew up in such a family, surrounded by other such families.
People who aren't from that just don't believe you when you tell them how awful and insane these people often are... and that's actually been not taken seriously enough, for so long, that we just now have theocratic fascists in many prominent government positions now, and live in a fascist state.

She's one of the good apples, hasn't even drowned her kids in the tub once!

Not this batch at least.
Seems like Jesus is pretty adept at telling this person no as well, given their circumstances.
Was Jay-sus watching when she decided to have 4 chilluns out of wedlock?
