Marketplace Seller Gets Burned on a Collector's Item After Snubbing a Pair of Petty Buyers With Deep Pockets

Playground logic persists in adulthood in many ways. There's always a king of the hill, some kid with glasses getting annihilated on the dodgeball court, and a snarky class clown running around screaming ‘nana-nana-boo-boo’! When you're at odds with another ‘kid’ on the blacktop, the mature thing to do is walk away and let it go.

The teachers never liked me all that much, being the hyper kid I was, who despised homework and could not focus for one minute in class, and the other students kind of bored me. Maybe it was the school itself, who knows? Perhaps others have had better luck. In any case, I can remember that when students broke the rules, the rest of t…

'What did I tell you about coming here again?!; You have been banned!': Mousy librarian flips a switch and rebukes a rampaging Karen, telling her off and running her out of the library for good

Bookish kids will always remember the day they got their library card. Perhaps it's because this is the first card you ever authenticate with a signature at the bottom, or perhaps it's because you had unlimited access to all the books in the world and finally had a friendly old lady who was willing to point you towards your next adventure. And everyone knows that friendly librarians are the ultimate pseudo-granny.
