Hold on, let me get something to rite on

[sb47]

I'm sure all of you that sell on CL have this happen all the time.
Person calls up wanting address, I start to give it and they say hold on, let me get something to rite on.
I could bet good money that at least 99% of people asking for an address, are not prepared to rite it down.
Drives me crazy. One of these days I'm gonna go off on someone, I've held my tong so far, but don't theses people get it.
How often do you guys get this BS?

LOL ??? way to many times! ad states the product with pictures and a current address to the product in the ad. period....! some can read the ad, but cant see the information posted along with the phone number they just called? gotta wonder what the hey! texting is what jerks my chain, 5 texts to get the info is wasting my time! 3 is the limit .you want more info, voice me... "GOT IT" !!!

I prefer to write.

Ad for an F-Super Duty, no phone number. Minimal info.

I email asking what the bed length is. They email back I need to call and setup an appointment so I can look at it.

Really? How can I call?
Can't go measure the thing?! It's a legit question.
