Funniest trading scemes/accidents you've ever seen?

Funny cause of the way they said it
"Need fast run to the gay place paying 500g"
over and over spamming local
Anyway after someone else corrected them "Sanctum Cay" they then asked for the right place and got a run there
still laugh to this day over that one.........

The tomes/tombs thing annoys me..
The funniest thing is standing in Senji's Corner and looking at all the different ways of spelling: "LFP for Tahnnakai Temple".

WTS Magmus Shield...is it that hard to scroll over the item and spell correctly its name?
Another funny thing, although not a trade: probably over a year ago, someone in ToA was looking for Ecto Nukers hehe.

The tomb thing is a real pet peeve. The words don't even sound the same. B is nowhere near E on the keyboard. I don't GET IT.

Here are 3 gems including the free Kunnuvang I mentioned yesterday.
I didn't black out the sellers name there because I'm not saying anything bad about it. It was a nice selling technique. But please don't try to contact her and ask for the pet. This screenshot is about a year old.

R = Rank
E = Ecto
Q = Requirement
Is it that damn hard to accept the convention?

The really silly thing is the lengths some people go to protest the whole "q = requirement" thing. Give it up already, it's in every bloody thread related to trades, pet peeves, or funny stories I've read in this forum. You're not going to get people to use "r"; if you want to, fine, but we really don't need to hear time and again how stupid you think "q" is (not just directed at you, but everyone who's posted something like that recently).

Someone tried to sell me a white dye for 100g the other day. I felt bad for him, so I told him to go check the dye trader. His only reply was "HOLY CRAP." He then proceeded to offer it to me for 1.7k since that was half the selling price of the dye trader (I didn't take the time to explain that one to him). So I say, "How about 2k?" And he says sure.
Now, this was either an incredible attempt to make me feel sorry for him, and therefore, offer him more than it was worth, or he was just a newb and didn't know any better.
Either way, I felt like I helped him and got some cheap(er) dye. I lol'd for almost twenty minutes after.

Hard to get it more wrong:
Fails at English:
This one isn't trade related, I was just whispered out of the blue.
I see lots of "Smithing" staves for sale.

I see a lot of "WTB ur mom" and stuff. I once put my soul up in Party Search, but the best offer I got was like 10g, plus a lot of holy rollers jumped on me about the morality of what I was doing.
Roo Ella
genofreek try your virginity next time you will get lots more than 10g :P

So I guess that goes both ways then, you're not going to get people who are happy to use the logical R to change to Q.
Edit: Also, after using r for req long time before any PvE ranks were in, I'm actually more likely to think r as req than rank when I see it used.

A friend was giving me 100k once and accidentally gave it to the wrong person who, of course, logged off immediately.
I felt bad but she was kind enough to still lend me the 100k since the accident was on her account.
I've seen this one before. Gave me a good laugh.

I remember someone selling a sword pommel of swordsmenshiP (with a capital P), though this was only because someone hassled his previous attempt had a t instead of the P and someone hassled him about it.

Saw someone running to Imperial Sanctum from K-Center for 10k.
Don't really know whether that's even possible.
