Even if it IS fair, telling me "This is fair" in a "Accept RIGHT NAO" tone is going to get you a cancel.

I really don't care if it's fair or not. It comes down to whether or not I want what you're offering more than I want to keep what you want from me.

This. ^^

It's MY pet. Someone could offer me a Zebra for my extra BE Galaxy and if I don't want to trade it or I don't want to trade with them I won't. Plain and simple.

Yeah but you know people don't read rules. And on that same note, how hard is it to tell store bought items from special release ones? I'd think it's pretty simple. If you can buy the item in the store, it's a store bought item. If not it's a special release item. I've stated over and over again that I will not trade special release items yet people still ask for them all the time. Yesterday I got a "trade" and I use the term loosely from someone who kept begging for my items because I obviously didn't want them since I didn't have them on my pets.

Sometimes I wish I was my dog so I could just bite people when they tick me off.

You know what really irks me about trading these days
If you just want to swap outcomes or common for a common trading, alot of people cancel ;(
Why? Because they already have that common pet and ONLY trade for wishlist pets which consist of a bunch of rares...
Do they want a rare for that common? All I wanted to do is swap pets, they are not losing out at all.
Do some people really think hoarding a whole bunch of common pets in their trades will get them their wishlist?
I'm just glad some people accept swaps of outcomes/commons... Otherwise it would be almost impossible for me to get hold of missing outcomes/pets

[chirp.]

UGH. Just got offered a ton of commons for my toxic. >.<

I know what you mean. I can't for the life of me comprehend how some peoples' minds work. A while back I wanted to do a date swap for a set of store pets. They were the exact same pets just adopted on different dates. They canceled saying they wanted to hold onto their store pets and wait a while. wth???@@! I was OFFERING them the SAME EXACT pets just with a different date. I even resent the trade adding a few common rares to try and get them to swap for dates. They canceled with the exact same message. *bangs head repeatedly on desk* What is wrong with people?

Want me to bite them for you? I'm in a biting mood today.

That irks me so much >_< if I see that someone wants wish list pets only in their trade rules I automatically leave.

... THAT made me laugh. It's so stupid I could never rant about it, not even if someone sent me those messages.

I do date/ID swaps and in my trade rules there is something about only wanting wishlist pets... but in the monthly swap threads I also say, that I'll swap outcomes or common pets ;3 These rules are for people who want to send me random trades.
Besides, there'll be some common WL pets every other month. *looks at my minihoards*

Yeah this bothers me to no end when I'm out looking for hoard pets. Usually I'll PM the person, asking if they'd trade whatever common/uncommon it is I'm looking for. Sometimes people are willing to work with me. Others.... still insist that it's for "wishlist trade only" Uh huh... good luck getting the July dogtag that's on your wishlist for the common/uncommon I'm asking for. (Despite the fact I'm offering an older dog and gives them a better change then the pet they have) Sometimes I really don't understand people.
