Its gonna cost you…

If people don’t want to be ‘insulted’ by low offer then they shouldn’t present it in a format that allows for offers that are ‘too low’. It would take less time to reject the bid they allowed to happen than to write a response.

I have personally purchased at least one thing for 10% of the asking price (around $500) because I was the only one who wanted it and they wanted to get rid of it. That was what it was worth to me, I wasn’t trying to haggle or anything, just made an offhand offer when walking by.

Odds are just as high that the example $360 is an insultingly inflated price just like the $20 is likely to be far lower than what someone else is willing to spend on whatever is being sold.

I tried to edit to clarify immediately after but there might be some timer before editing.

Your guy was much of a dick about you not taking the offer as the OP seller was about getting a low budget. People who treat ‘make me an offer’ as some kind of preset range and get mad that others don’t agree make the whole offer process painful.

On the rare occasion that I make an offer for something it will be very low because that is what I’m willing to pay to deal with the whole ‘male an offer’ process. A low bid is a low bid, not an insult.

The sandwiches were sooooo good.

The parent company screwed over the franchises by bleeding them dry.

Nike is one of the worst offenders when it comes to unchecked capitalism.

Yes, if they have already figured out how to handle bullies in grade school/middle school. Early grade school there was a bully who picked on me and my older brother helped out. By grade five I was the one helping other kids who were being bullied.

A lot of credit goes to youth groups like 4-H for helping to build self confidence and how to care for others. May have been lucky getting a solid local group though.

Regret forms stones in the kidneys

That works for small cars with hoods that slope to the ground like sedans and station wagons. It is outdated and useless advice for anyone in an SUV, pickup, or the vast majority of vehicles on the road today in the US.

It should be far enough back to be able to turn and move out if the car in front of you stalls, which should be easy to estimate for anyone who can parallel park.

Everyone should be able to parallel park, it is part of the driving test.

Curses!

Could be a sconce instead of a weirdly placed handle.

I think it is the bottom of the top of the stairs because of the lighting to the bottom left of the mattress. That should be in shadow from the mattress if it was at the bottom of the stairs.

Like, how do you measure management as a product?

Define their responsibilities is a first step. In addition I just to clearly defined tasks, survey the people they manage to get an idea of how well they are doing with guided questions like whether they are taking care ofnobstacles and increasing communication efficiently like making good calls on what should be an email vs what should be a prodictive meeting.

It can be hard to measure, but so is any position with complex goals that require other people to do their job too.

It isn’t a bad value if you watch it regularly.

They do cycle in good movies, but they aren’t always up front and noticeable. Every service has a massive amount of trash and crappy interfaces for discovering stuff.

No.

What a minute!

I dunno, the cat playing a keyboard really gave the burger cat a run for its money.

Agreed!

We also don’t have emissions tests. Pretty sure both are the result of being a mostly agricultural state as in the past both requirements would disproportionately impact farmer’s time and ability to work if they failed either one. We really should start requiring both.
