Imagine putting up your kid's stroller for bid on eBay because you don't need it anymore. This dad did just that, but he included a couple of details to it that said how the buggy signaled the end of his happy, carefree life.
Here we have for sale the green monster that can only be Phil and Teds. I shall be glad to see it leave my premises and never return.
This was purchased against my wishes many years ago as I never wanted any children and a buggy signified my wife’s intent to have children. We argued much and this buggy signifies everything that ended my happy carefree low cost child free life.
This buggy clearly meant she intended to have not just one but multiple children and the extortionate price of this buggy will stay imprinted on my brain till the day I die. I have bought cars that cost less than this buggy. My dad once bought a house that cost less than this buggy.
Anyway as you can tell I hate the buggy. I now have 3 children, and a Labrador and am forced to endure the school run where women I dont know try and discuss the price of centre parc holidays, and the benefits of the micro over the mini micro scooter. To summarize my life is over and this green albatross needs to go round some other poor sod’s neck.
Adding this:
– It comes with “what I lovingly refer to as the Cinderella attachment for the second child you have but dont love as much as the first. It means they can sit but cant see anything, and have a ride thats about as comfortable as a Ford Model T.”
– Over the years he has “collected spare bits from other zombified fathers who were once full of life and I will throw these in as well”.
– “This buggy has never been used for dog sledding, racing, or buggy bumper cars, although I once used it to concuss a randy Alsatian that tried getting amorous with my lab.”
The bid started at £9.99 but look at how much it has gotten to now:
Shilajit among Spirulina, maca root and ashwagandha are common superfood names that we hear when discussing superfoods. But hidden away in the Himalayan rugged crags lies an old tar-like substance that is slowly rising to rank itself as one of the top superfoods globally named as Shilajit. Long used in Ayurvedic medicine, this mineral-dense exudate is beginning to gain world renown in the culinary wellness world not only as a supplement, but as a functional food upgrade. Read more
Making a positive impression at work is getting more important. This is partly because you don't actually go to work as often anymore thanks to hybrid working. So the impression you give in shorter stretches of time travels a lot further. The way you present yourself at work can actually influence your career trajectory, shaping perceptions and opening doors to new opportunities. Read more
