Rosa's random thoughts
Where I put things that happen to me on Gaia.
I wonder if I've turned into a Grinch
Because I keep looking at people asking for charity, and going 'Seriously, are you for real?'

They keep PMing me.

'Hai, UR so cool to me, so cn you get me a Potre ice or Worthless Black Gift Box' (sic).

I kid you not. That's pretty much word for word what a PM I've received in the past week said. Down to the spelling of 'Pora'. How the hell can you get that out of Pora Ice?

And then, there's stuff like this-

'Can you sell me your Katana for 30k because I got hacked? Oh, and all this expensive stuff i'm wearing is borrowed, it's not actually mine sad '

I like to think i'm relatively generous to people. If they're straight up with me, and obviously trying to be civil and, you know, not talking like a troll, i'll generally be nice. But such blatant rudeness and attempts to sucker people in just don't work.

Another example. I recently sold my Chyaku Norisu. I put it up, someone put one or two a bit lower than mine, and that's fine- I mean, I had it up for five days, and I wasn't in any rush.

Two days into the sale, I get this-

Quote:
yes i will give u 1000gold for ur scarf thats on the market because noone is bidding on it so may i plz have the scarf.


I can't help it. I sent back a message saying 'You're kidding, right?'

He replies with-

Quote:
ill give u that because no one else is bidding for ur scarf


Please note I never put things up for auction. So I was quite rude to him. He hasn't messaged me since. Such a shame rolleyes

You've got to wonder if these tricks ever work for the trolls. They must do, because they just keep doing it.

Am I a Grinch? Do I just have no faith in Gaia-kind anymore?
