Loved the "most disturbing" categories. Yard/garage sales here in "the sticks" are generally one long lull.

Except for about 1/2 hour BEFORE you are supposed to open, when all the snipers show up and ask "would you mind if I come in a little early"?

"Actually, yes. Would you mind if I put on some clothes?"
