Holiday Misgivings

Be careful about trying to help out your fellow human:

I thought I was helping a guy out who said he really needed an item I had for sale. He contacted me asking if he could trade for anything and he didn’t really have anything I was interested in, but he sounded like he really needed, said he really needed and I was ready to basically give it away, thinking I was helping out someone. We worked out a trade where I would be on the ‘losing end’ of the deal, but I thought I was helping someone so I was willing to help him out. He showed up very late to pick up the item, didn’t have the few things he had promised to give in trade, promised to bring the items the next day, never shows up and then turns around and lists the item for sale less than 24 hours after he picked it up with a story about how he got a new coat from his wife for Christmas and she decided to give it to him early.

I’m trying really hard not to judge this guy as a low-life, but I’m pretty sure I got conned. So much for trying to help out a fellow human. I hate people.
