"Could I get like $40 for it?"

My co worker, referencing his 15yr old TV. He bought a new one and asked if I wanted his old one for my garage.

Check his trash after he puts it away. Just ask him to put it down gently instead of throwing it.

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

It seemed like he was just offering it for free, and then once I agreed, tried getting me to pay $40.

That's exactly what happened. You're left with 2 choices. Forever be a sucker in his eyes or be the guy you can't get over on.

Dude. Be direct and tell him you're not paying 40$ for his trash. Being direct is the best way to live life. People will constantly come at you sideways as long as you use excuses instead of reasons

I saw this awesome CRT on the sidewalk being thrown away about a month ago, I wasn't going to take it because it was probably sitting out for awhile and it was probably very heavy. But it's a shame how CRTs are getting treated now.

They're also really expensive on ebay...

This sounds like the best option. I work in a very small area with this guy for 9 hours a day, so I'd like to avoid any "conflict".

If he keeps pushing the issue, I'll come at him like other posters are suggesting.

Conflict is in the eye of the beholder. I'll tell people off for coming at me sideways then ask if they want me to grab them something on my dime from a store run. You can be direct and still be a nice guy that people like. They will just slowly learn you're not someone to pull some slick shit with. If they don't respect that then fuck them liking you.

I don't think he ever actually said that, just very heavily implied it.

You gonna charge the curb $40 too?

Most people don't know. The waste management is supposed to not take them and inform the resident/landlord.

Dude's ALWAYS trying to sell me his old stuff


Because you're not direct dude. Most people don't ask me shit twice because I explain exactly why Im not about whatever it is. Being direct completely changes your social interactions.
