Douche of the Week

I had an extra ticket to the Wilco show and I decided to sell it on CraigsList. I guess you could consider me the douche of the week for attempting to sell my ticket at 3x face value, but hey, I'm a capitalist and that was the market price. So, I nominate random guy who responded to my sale as the first "Camels and Elephants Douche of the Week" (DOTW):

My original ad:

1 ticket available for Saturday for $150 firm. I can meet in the Loop or somewhere downtown.

**Item of note here: "1 ticket"

thanks a ton,
[Douche]

Rejoice for all you see without your eyes.
Sing on, like a bird that's makin' love in sunset skies"

**Item of note here: stupid song lyric sig line. I get it, you like music.

nevermind- thats fucking ridiculous dude. you sir, are an asshole.
i bet you really love wilco to [sic].

**Nice grammar rules, buddy, but I think you meant "too"
And finally, my response:

Sorry to disappoint, but my post clearly says 1 ticket for $150. Thats what they're going for on stubhub. Not sure why you'd attack my character, but good luck getting to the show.

Aww, I hope I didn't ruin his Valentine's day plans :'(
