That one always cracks me up.

Speaking of serial numbers..
That and OBLITERATING ANY paint on the bottom bracket to "get the number" ..
Like,it looks like they took an angle grinder to the BB to "clean it off"
I mean..it's their bike and all,but good lord..how about just some oil and a rag

Maybe already a complaint by someone, but this always gets me. A ton of pictures, but mostly only one side of bike or many multiple pics from different angles of unimportant areas. And the topper...no pictures from rear ! Can't tell if reflector or taillight is intact and good condition(sometimes deal breaker) or rear fender is beat etc. Pic's of ALL sides please !

On the topic of crummy photos - How about tape measure or a ruler thrown into a picture haphazardly and not lined up with anything at all. Just kinda hanging out there like yeah I bet you wish I was useful.

YESSS! You can practically hear that lone brain cell grinding away: "Let's see... I'm supposed to have a tape measure in one of my photos for some reason... I guess to show that I own a tape measure..."

Bonus points for when they photograph it from so far away that you can't read the markings anyway.

Or the opposite when it's all just close up shots but you never get to see the whole bike.

When a member volunteers you for a chore like shipping a bike. Kinda puts you on the spot if you don't feel like being volunteered.

New Year resolutions stinks. I get tired of people saying their resolutions and I dont have any.
