I sold the fucking framing square (carpenter thing) that my dad used when he tried to teach me how to be a constructive person. That was the point we both realized I was useless as to doing good, and that I'd better go to law school and be a leech on society.
I sold that shit for $5 cold-blooded, rang the cash register. It was like that all day.
Then, 3-ish, a women asked how much for the 2 chairs they used to go watch kids soccer games. I said "6" then had this wave of grief. I walked into the nearest empty room and sobbed for a few. got it cleared up and walked back to her. She had decided not to buy.
meaning tomorrow I have to sell them again.

I would have liked that framing square, dude.
