Especially since the one they've had for years declared she's not coming this summer.

Seriously. To bill it as some type of vacation and get upset when people don’t want to spend their weekend being day laborers is a bit beyond.

This. I'm dying to know more about these people.

I'm gonna hijack with my own story...
A coworker I know married a rwnj who believes all the black people who live in dc, whom he is terrified of, are going to march from DC to the Loudoun suburbs to murder white people. He bought land in WV to escape to. There was a store-bought shed on it and he plans for he and his wife to "retire" to this shed that has no electricity or running water and is the size of, well, a shed. He spent a lot of time cutting down trees and planting new trees. He's also a hoarder of all things but particularly guns and ammo. They spent every weekend and holiday for years doing things to this shed and mowing the land etc. We were invited to visit so spouse and I along with our very young kids could help. No way in hell.

I'll take left wing fantasies for $100 Alex.

Up your comedy game, people.

No need to pile on OP for misinterpreting a post. I read it the way she did, at first.

Also, I'm completely stunned by how many people didn't get the sarcasm post--and doubled down on it not being funny vs them just not getting the joke.

most people skim DCUM threads, they don't read intently expecting to have a pop quiz on the literary devices used in the posts.

NP. That’s not what happened…it was a single post, pretty easily decipherable as sarcasm.

They’re not claiming they missed the sarcasm because they were mere skimming and just saw certain buzzwords. They’re insisting the sarcasm was undetectable, even after a poster very kindly explained it rather that calling them dumbasses with poor reading comprehension, as so many DCUM posters would do.

And too stupid to figure out that a farmer might pay them for the right to mow and make hay.
