I once saw someone someone selling a “tractor” on Facebook for like 12 grand but if you looked close it was a well photographed picture of a toy tractor in a field.

Matt is like that one uncle who’d make you help with projects of questionable legality in his garage.

The hacker thing really has the same vibes as the "we're being hacked" seniors from Covid times, who were in a completely open zoom call without realising it, allowing kids to come in and swear over the mic and terrify them

My parents listed my childhood drum set on Facebook marketplace a couple weeks ago. Someone offered to trade a crossbow and a fish tank for it lmao.

Get ready for this fucking story.

My buddy was moving and was basically going to throw out everything he owned to make travel lighter. So, seeing an opportunity for money I decided to to take everything he had and start selling it. One of the items was his wife's old Spiderman sweater. Quick, easy sale, I thought to myself. I had it posted on marketplace for $5 and quickly got 2 messages. One from this lovely elderly man who wanted it for his grandson, and one from this barely-coherent lady named "Serenity". Being someone who goes by (well, not anymore) first come first serve, I went with Serenity because she messaged first. Lucky for her, I was heading to her location that day. So I grab the sweater, go to the given address at the agreed upon time, and I'm met with someone who is not Serenity, but a paranoid man peering at me through a tiny crack in the door. When asked if Serenity is there, he says "No" and goes to shut the door, before it closes I hear a shrill voice scream from inside of the apartment "Wait! Kelly goes by Serenity! It's for Kelly!"

At this point, I knew I needed to get the fuck away from here but I wanted the $5. So this large woman, very clearly high on meth and had been for at least 8 years, comes out of the door and asks how much the sweater was. I told her and she proceeds to sift through a handful of change, after only having about $3 she says she's going to go in and look for more. As she turns to leave, she attempts to rip the sweater out of my hands and make a run for it. I was prepared for this event, however, as I held it quite firmly the entirety of my being there. Then this new fella comes out of fucking nowhere and starts yelling at her for trying to rob me of the sweater and apologizing on her behalf, calling it a "dumbass thing to do." She returns and she can't find the money, but supposedly Serenity has a boyfriend upstairs who has some. She calls him down, this young man comes down and I swear, the only thing he had to say (and he said it numerous times) was
Following him down was the large woman's son, probably around 13 years old, casually playing a Nintendo Switch. He looks at me, looks at her and sharply says "What, do you owe him money?! Does she owe you money?"
I said "Nope!" Gathered up all the change that had been collected by this woman, and promptly marched to my car and sped off, never to return. I got shorted 75 cents. 20 minutes layer, Serenity messages me and says she's ready to meet.

Edit: for those wondering, no, I did not take the sweater and the money as I'm not an asshole.

I love how the “social distancing hat” image includes the man in the picture, implying he comes with the hat.

Facebook Marketplace is hell. I once spent a good five weeks or so trying to buy a CRT TV for my room, and a Dreamcast. 99% of the CRT sellers never removed their already sold TVs, and the 1% just never bothered to reply back. Had a good chat with the Dreamcast guy, thought I was getting somewhere, until he told me he was out of town for the weekend and would be back on Monday. Monday came and went, and I never heard from Dreamcast guy again.

That last one was so bizarre. These people are already on the internet, they should've figured out by now that all their weird foot-related desires are just one Google search away.

Me: "Selling 3DS (original), fair condition, charger included. $120"
Random woman: "WHY ARE YOU SELLING THIS ON MY PAGE I WILL BLOCK YOU FROM MY PAGE FOR DOING THIS"
Me: I'm not on your page
Woman: PLEASE DO NOT TALK TO ME FURTHER
She then proceeded to reply to TWELVE of my Facebook posts (most of which were over a year ago) denouncing me for flooding her page.

Here's an idea: weird things you had to explain to parents. I had to explain 'No Nut November' to my mother, and started with the phrase "It's a bit like Lent".

God bless you, Matt Rose, for supplying us with comedy gold! 💀

You should make a video on elderly people trying to use all sorts of technology. I have an elderly friend whom once I introduced texting, she took my phone and spoke to it hoping she’d get a response 💀

Facebook is the creepiest social media I've been on



(I get Twitter and 4Chan is worse, no need to keep reminding me)

"I hope God punishes you"
"Jesus knocking on the door"
Oh no

The "my wife left me so i'm selling her plants" killed me so much

1:50 Am I the only one genuinely concerned about someone would create a sequin pillow of Rose West 💀

I like to think “Gavin” was put up by the kids brother, who was losing his patience with the child’s incessant crying and need for attention.
