Then this is the bed for you, it will get you to f***ing REM and for 6-8 hours every night you&#8217;ll forget that you&#8217;re sleeping next to a sociopath. There are no stains, and this thing hasn&#8217;t seen action in a while.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The spurned lover had a few conditions, namely, don&#8217;t agree to pay $150 and then offer $100 when you come to pick it up, &#8220;because that would make you a lying cheater, and I would rather set the mattress on fire and throw it out of the window rather than sell it to you&#8221;, he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Seriously, I will lose it&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>And don&#8217;t even think about asking him for help carrying the mattress out of his apartment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And no, I won&#8217;t help you get it out to your car,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;There are only eleven steps up to my apartment. You figure it out. I was going to sell the mattress for $200 but I figured it was worth the $50 to watch someone else have to struggle over this oppressive burden.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not a deal-breaker, but it would help immensely if you looked like my ex as I would love to see an entitled, Ivy-League educated a**hole struggle with this thing.
