Well, it's been a wonderful week here so far. I have come up with the PERFECT example of why I don't like people. That's a general statement, btw. I bid on and won some mimosa and cotton seeds on eBay. This was on the 7th of February. On Monday, I sent the following message to the person I had won the seeds from:

When exactly should I be receiving my seeds? I've been pretty patient but
I'd really like my seeds now....

My eBay ID is twelveofeight and the person I had bought off of is rootertooter45. I have a bunch of stuff I'm starting indoors right now and wanted to get a jump on the tree seedlings. I figured I had waited for 12 days with no word at all other than the end of the auction and I immediately sent payment. Then nothing. This is the response I got from my message to rootertooter45:

Look Lady,I sent you`r seeds a long time ago. You dont sound patient in
this email. If you dont get your seeds by the end of this month I will send your
damn $2.49 back. Most generally if a person doesnt get their seeds I send a
replacement.but in your case NOT NOT Have a nice day.

Now, I didn't deserve that. Period. There is no reason for such hateful behaviour. So, I sent this message back:

I'm sorry but you don't have to be hateful about it. I've been waiting
since the 7th of Feb. and haven't complained or anything. I've waited patiently
and simply wanted to know how much longer till you ship me the seeds. If you
want to refund my money that's fine. I really wanted the seeds otherwise I
wouldn't have bought them.

I was extremely pissed off but I didn't take it out on this person. I'm not that kind of person. After I sent that back there was no word, nothing. So, after brooding about this for a few days, I sent this message:

You know, I have decided I paid for those seeds and I want the seeds. The
mimosa and the cotton seeds promised in the listing. I don't want a refund, I
want my merchandise. If, for whatever reason, you have a problem with this, I
will be perfectly happy to be as nasty about this as you were to me. Thanks, and
have a nice day.

So, they replied with this:

Look, I have been nice to you. I sent your replacement seeds yesturday.. Do
you expect me to get on a lear jet and deliver them. You are crazy as hell.you
need to seek help. I hope you dont get these seeds eather. You are a nasty evil
woman.

And again, I got really pissed off. I replied with this:

No, you are the nasty evil person. You have been nothing but nasty to me
after a simple inquiry about where my seeds were. Then telling me you
wouldn't send me a replacement and cussing at me. Not notifying me you would
send me a replacement and expecting me to just "know". I don't know how the
hell I was supposed to know that. You are a horrible person with the
maturity of a 5 year old and you can guarantee I will make sure nobody I
know ever orders from you.

And so I get this in return:

First off, If you look at my feedback you will see that it is good. I have
made over 5,000 transactions on eBay. I have a few neg from idiots like you,but
none concern any seeds that I sell. I look forward to your neg feedback, so I
can follow up on yours.

Well. I haven't replied yet. But I do intend on making sure people know that rootertooter45 is a horrible, nasty person and that nobody ought to do business with them. Did I deserve ANY of the replies I got? No. I was polite to the end. I do intend on sending eBay a copy of all this and making sure that this is how rootertooter45 treats customers who inquire about their shipments. Please feel free to look up rootertooter45 on eBay and make sure they know how you feel about the way they treated me. But whatever you do, DO NOT BUY FROM rootertooter45.
