I am trying to photograph some big lots of baby clothing to put on my local mom's yardsale group, possibly ebay if I don't have any local takers.
This is how it goes. Open tote, lay out 5 pieces of clothing on the floor, baby sees the clothes and comes crawling over as fast as possible. I say "No!" Baby sits in the middle of the heap of clothes and smiles. I say "NO!" Baby throws more clothes and laughs. I move baby to kitchen and then continue putting the clothes on the floor and try to get them laying flat. Get ready to take the picture, and this is what I keep getting.
Okay,so it takes me longer than it used to do things. I'm okay with that. Enjoying my President's day off of my real job.
Photographing clothes- annoying
photo bomber- priceless.
Heres hoping you're getting more done today than I am!

The know it all customer
Ugh, I've reached my limit today of people telling me how to do things. From home to school to ebay everyone I come in contact with today seems to think they know it all.
I just received an email from an ebay customer. He had purchased some shoes from me last week, which I promptly sent out the next day. He emails me on Friday stating that basically I need to get off my lazy a** and get his package in the mail. So I double check and sure enough, it wasn't scanned by my small rural post office. This is about the 10th package in the last 3 weeks this has happened with. I emailed him back and told him that they must have not scanned it in, but I did send it and would contact the post office. I also told him that the little post office might be overwhelemed due to the 5 foot of snow we've gotten this week as well as the -43 temperature (without the wind chill) I did contact them and what do you know, it showed ups scanned in on Saturday, (5 days after I sent it) So tonight I get an email from him saying he's glad he contacted me because they have to scan it when they pick it up and it's about time I sent it. Yes, they are supposed to scan, but it doesn't mean they do, and the only reason they fixed it is because I called them. Not because I didn't send it! I want to email him back but I don't want to risk negative feedback, which I'm probably already getting. I don't like being accused of lying. If I didn't mail it I would own up to it.
Whatever, I'm just not replying to his email, he'll think I'm still lying either way. Here's hoping he likes the shoes.
So over everything right now.
Thank you for letting me vent. Do you have an annoying customer to share? Tell me about it in the comments!
