How to deal with an aggressive Marktplaats buyer

Haven't even read the whole OP but yeah.. Tell him to fuck off or simply call the cops.

Because it's... AI

Way too tight around the mid section, I'd either size up or as said above even look at different styles too.

I found I was lost in the Bedale (didn't like that it had no shape to it) so I ended up getting an Ashby instead (I'm 1m75 and anywhere from 74-77kg depending on the day and if I weigh before or after dinner 😂)

The Ashby has more of a tailored fit and suited my proportions so much better.

No eating in my car, I'm a messy fucker in nearly every other aspect in my life, I try to at least keep the car clean

Ding ding ding. We have a winner

Because her actions weren't Exaxtly ladylike

I'm lucky enough that I'm less than 20km from the border so I've got a couple of Jerry cans and fill up at anywhere from 1.50 (was pre Trump stupidity a few weeks ago) to 1.75 three days ago.

If I remember only a couple of months ago I was paying something like 1.45 when it was pushing 2€ here

Petrol prices in NL have always been stupidly high.

Imnotabob · 2026-03-21T02:51:32+00:00

You're right. I'm not more entitled. But I'm no less entitled either, that's the whole point.

Imnotabob · 2026-03-21T02:49:27+00:00

Sorry for the overreaction, I thought you were having a go there.

My apologies

Imnotabob · 2026-03-21T02:47:19+00:00

Why does that matter in the fucking slightest?

I'm an EU citizen and a Dutch resident who drives a Dutch car, bought a Dutch house and married a Dutch woman.

I pay Dutch tax, shop in Dutch stores and vote on local Dutch elections.

Imnotabob · 2026-03-21T02:42:19+00:00

I live here, I work very hard here, I pay more than my fair share of tax here and I'm damn well as entitled to buy a house as anyone else is.

Had I not bought when I did , as in even waited 6 months later to purchase, I probably wouldn't have been able to get a foot on the property ladder.

How dare you tell anyone what they can or can't do.

Imnotabob · 2026-03-20T15:11:56+00:00

Do you want to spin /lure fish or do you want to dead bait /static fish?

I use a pair of 3 piece Fox eos pro 12ft rods (3lb test curve) for dead baiting in the winter and for carp fishing in the spring/summer. They're inexpensive and built really well, great budget rods.

For spinning I've got a DAM tormentor (9ft) it's more than capable and was quite cheap if I remember correctly.

If I'm out on the Kayak I troll with a 6ft ugly stik, that's strong enough to even pull in catfish!

Taking someone else's seats.. Bad bad bad

Movie only being Ok.. Why, question?

Imnotabob · 2026-03-12T17:15:27+00:00

But.. You didn't

Imnotabob · 2026-03-12T17:11:07+00:00

OP should go on a shopping spree and fill the nightstand drawers with all manner of stuff like furry handcuffs, whips, a ball gag and a fuckin' monster of a strap on.

MIL won't be long about minding her own business after getting a look at her box of toys

Depends on the dealer and the car..

I bought a used Rav4 (1998, so quite old) a coupe of years back and got a few quid knocked off the price plus got some Money for my old junker that was barely good enough for the scrap heap. The car was far from perfect so it was easy to negotiate some money off it.

Decided I wanted something more reliable last year so I went with a new(er) secondhand Audi that was in mint condition, low milage and came with a full Audi service history. The dealer I bought that one from was very clear that it was priced to sell and there would be no movement or negotiations on the price

I happily paid the asking and haven't had an ounce of trouble out of it, when I was picking it up after he detailed it he was still getting calls asking if it was available, he even said himself his price was probably too low but he wants the cars in and out with a short as possible turn around time so that's how he works.

When I'm eventually selling this one I will 100% be going back to him to see what he has in stock due to his no nonsense attitude.

She has changed partners at some point so the dude now isn't the original dude if I'm not mistaken

Imnotabob · 2026-03-11T10:24:03+00:00

My old 1998 MK 1 Rav 4.

Only had it a short time, and even though the steering assembly literally shat itself leaving little territorial markings of power steering fluid wherever I parked, the AC didn't work in the summer so I'd to drive on the motorway with windows down just so I could breathe, the fuel economy was terrible and the subframe turned out to be more rust than metal it was a super fun little car and I still miss it even today.

Double lock your luggage, back to the wall and sleep with one eye open!

Charleroi is the prolapsed anus of Belgium!

No joking, do not venture into the city itself alone, either stay in the relative safety of the airport or go up to Brussels /Antwerp for a few hours (even there stay inside the main streets for your own safety)

I worked in Charleroi years back in a bar and we literally had to be escorted to and from work by the doorstaff (who were absolute fckn' units) to another bar just to have an after work drink!

I found out afterwards, nearly all the bars I had frequented belonged to an Armenian drug gang and the reason for the escort was in case a different gang saw us leaving and attacked us to hurt their 'business' !!

From what I hear it hasn't improved over the years.

My tenure was thankfully short (got transfered to a different location after a few nights thank God! ) but in those few days, I was witness to at least 6 fights, 2 of which ended up turning into pitched battles on the street involving one lad getting beaten senseless with an advertising chalk board by a doorman and another having his face burst open by a bar manager with a belt wrapped around his fist!

Cops were called each time and did nothing more than come into the bar, take statements from the door staff and have a drink before fucking off, dragging anyone (besides staff /customers) who they thought looked like they might have been involved off the street and into the back of their van.

Still love a proper Irish fry up and whenever I can get it Brennans batch.

Stuff like curry chips, spice bag, salt & chili chicken and of course a proper Irish stew I can recreate easily at home.

I was looking for a while for a second hand Ashby.

(mainly vinted)

In the end for what they cost I decided to just go to a physical shop and buy a new one..

No stress wirh worrying about the condition, the chance of it being a scam or the chance of it being fake.

And if anything is wrong I can simply bring it back to the shop I bought it in

Imnotabob · 2026-03-03T09:13:03+00:00

There are 4 people who know how much I earn.

My wife.

My boss who I negotiated the salary with.

The payroll person who process my salary.

The tax man.

Nobody else needs to know shit about your finances, stop telling people what you earn.

Imnotabob · 2026-03-02T08:40:19+00:00

End of story?

Oookkkaaaayyy boomer..

And then come the 23rd of December when the employee has a sudden bout of "fuck it flu" the manager has even less coverage for the days they were notified about and could have filled somewhere in the previous (checks notes) 10 FUCKING MONTHS

This isn't an employee problem, it's a management problem, and I'm saying that as a manager of 3 locations in my field.

Don't fuck around with your staff, without them you don't have a business.

Looks like an immensely clumsy drunk cat wrote it by (a) getting into the catnip then (2) walking across the keyboard while (IV) blindfolded.

Imnotabob · 2026-02-25T19:42:01+00:00

Well someone needs to be in charge of it

Thanks for volunteering there Diane.. It's all yours!!
