#30: A Depressing Deal
The sentence “For sale: baby shoes, never worn” is often attributed as the shortest story in the English language. We’d like to throw this Facebook Marketplace listing in the running. The title reads, “Unwanted engagement ring, £200,” and the story behind that couldn’t be more clear. The word “unwanted” especially speaks volumes.
Things, obviously, didn’t work out. We want to message this seller just to see if we can get the backstory with all the dirty details. To add insult to injury, the ring is on sale. No one wanted it the first time around, so the seller had to lower their price. Ouch.
