Have you ever hated something you owned so much that it made you angry to think about it? Maybe it was a car or an expensive TV? There are some objects that feel more like they own us than vice versa. These are things that we would love to get rid of, but for some reason, it pains us more to throw them away.
Maybe the pain of owning such things becomes like pressing a bruise, it hurts, but we still keep doing it. Such seemed to be the case with the man in this story who didn’t have positive vibes even before his item arrived. And, he was more than happy to relieve himself of his bitter feelings in the product description of his eBay listing.
“Here we have for sale the green monster that can only be Phil and Teds. I shall be glad to see it leave my premises and never return.”
The description continued, “This was purchased against my wishes many years ago as I never wanted any children and a buggy signified my wife’s intent to have children. We argued much and this buggy signifies everything that ended my happy carefree low cost child free life.” As you can see, it really was a source of contention for the man and I’m sure that he was happy to sell the carriage and to get rid of the reminder.
Here’s more of the description:
This buggy clearly meant she intended to have not just one but multiple children and the extortionate price of this buggy will stay imprinted on my brain till the day I die. I have bought cars that cost less than this buggy. My dad once bought a house that cost less than this buggy.
Anyway as you can tell I hate the buggy. I now have 3 children, and a Labrador and am forced to endure the school run where women I don’t know try and discuss the price of centre parc holidays, and the benefits of the micro over the mini micro scooter. To summarize my life is over and this green albatross needs to go round some other poor sods neck.
On the positive none of my three children were stupidly fat, but its been driven by my wife a lot so not all good. During its lifetime its had pretty much every bodily fluid known to science, (and several that have yet to be discovered) chucked over it by my children, Its also absorbed its own weight in Ella’s Kitchen meals, and mud.
I have tried to maintain this item as best I could and the wheels were filled with green slime to prevent punctures, and WD40 has been used with gusto on the relevant parts. It even comes with what I lovingly refer to as the Cinderella attachment for the second child you have but don’t love as much as the first. It means they can sit but cant see anything, and have a ride that’s about as comfortable as a Ford Model T.
All of my children are now walking (often in completely the wrong direction) but someone else deserves to give this a good home. Over the years I have collected spare bits from other zombified fathers who were once full of life and I will throw these in as well.
According to the other half she has the baby carry item that came with this and the pannier bags (whatever they are) but she never used them and they are immaculate and will be listed when she conquers her fear of heights and gets into the loft.
This buggy has never been used for dog sledding, racing, or buggy bumper cars, although I once used it to concuss a randy Alsatian that tried getting amorous with my lab.
There are many adverts on here for immaculate models and these people are all liars and scoundrels as nothing that comes into contact with a young child is ever immaculate.
So for a starting price of just £9.99 you too can screw up your life. There are programs for those of you who need to recover from drugs or alcohol. Any money generated from this sale will be used to help me recover from children (and probably involve drugs and alcohol).
So spend big – its for a good cause…”
