You know, he could really own the stalkers by building some second better chairs.
Pat also could have also owned the stlakers by being the better man in that exchange. Imagine if he had replied like the following:
"Although you're not at fault for picking these up, the chairs do hold sentimental value for me which is why I wanted to know what happened to them. Let me tell you a bit about the chairs -- they were my first real woodworking project. I picked up a bunch of tools, scored some free pallets, downloaded some patterns from the Internet, and the only thing it cost me was time. I used them to spruce up my AirBnB and I got a few Twitter likes from the deal.
"I would rather the chairs go to someone local who would use them as opposed to someone reselling them on eBay for a quick buck. I hope you enjoy these chairs just as much as I enjoyed making them!"
Had he written something classy like that, I think it would have improved his standing in the eyes of the funsters. However, they call him "Porque Squealer" for a reason. He couldn't help but give ultimatums and baseless threats ("
accessory after the fact" means assisting a criminal from being apprehended, and I don't think anyone is harboring felony funsters) and it's not lost on me that the two individuals there appear to be women. (As we are well aware, Pat really, really likes making threats against women.)
One thing, though: Usually when people post on Craigslist saying they have bulky items they want to get rid of, the stuff is usually left at the end of the driveway near the street, so that people can grab them and go. From the still image, we see that one of the chairs is not in the driveway -- or the yard -- but is at the top of the steps leading out to the driveway. I'm wondering if they went into Patrick's yard to get the chairs from around the firepit, or if the chairs were at the top of the steps when they arrived . . .
Also: if you do need to get rid of things and don't want to pay to have it hauled away, you can have someone grab your stuff in 30 minutes or less with a Craigslist ad. The time it takes to have someone come is entirely based on your street address -- the nicer your neighborhood, the nicer they expect your furniture to be.
No wonder it took 18 hours before someone showed up!
