TIFU by selling a pair of nightstands with a bottle of lube…

Title.

This past weekend, I sold a pair of “BRIMNES” nightstands (via Facebook marketplace) that I’d previously picked up from IKEA years back. Girlfriend and I were selling them to be replaced by a more thematically appropriate pair.

Anyway, prior to selling them off, mine respectively was used to hold a bunch of miscellaneous shit: Papers, art supplies, and of course: This bottle of Trojan lube for accessibility purposes, and as such it remained even after being cleaned out for sale.

I figured why not? It can stay in there until they’re sold.

It’s also worth noting that I never attached the wheels to either stand and opted instead to keep them in their provided drawers. As a result, whenever I moved them, I’d hear a gentle ‘thud’ that I assumed was the collectively packaged wheels shifting.

So, day comes for pickup, I load them into the buyer’s car and she drives off. No problem. I offered for her to test the drawers beforehand but she voiced her good faith in my ad details and that was that.

Fast forward a few hours and they send me a picture on Marketplace of the bottle still in the drawer with “you forgot something…” attached. That’s it. And I stared at my phone, waiting for a fucking piano to fall through the ceiling and kill me.

I profusely apologized with no explanation because it’s the type of fuck-up that doesn’t need one. We both knew why it was in there, and it still being in there was a case of egregious oversight and irresponsibility as a seller, and a human being in general.

My girlfriend and I being sanitary people is beside the point, but to think that this poor girl had to handle my shit and dispose of it on her own absolutely killed me.

**TL;DR - Sold two nightstands and accidentally left a tube of lube inside one of them; mistook shifting in the drawers for JUST the untouched four pack of wheels, and not the wheels + lube. Buyer not pleased.**
