Hindsight and all that.

It took me longer than I'd like to admit to start canceling/ghosting the idiots one meets from Craigslist and eBay encounters. These are the people who ask the dumb questions, want to haggle on something marked firm, want to meet at 123 Sketchy Blvd. at 2 AM, etc. One guy was fifteen minutes into explaining what he was using the hand truck I sold him for when I said 'fuck it' and closed the garage door on him.

Life's too short for dumb people.

    Is a hand truck a very small truck?

    Edit: TIL, thank you for the replies.

    I’m Mexican, and for some reason we call that “diablito”. Our more civilized Spanish speakers call it “carretilla de carga”.

    Only the uninformed call that a "dolly". That is a "hand-truck". A hand truck features a vertical, L-shaped design with an upright handle, two wheels, and a small bottom ledge whereas a dolly has a raised, flat platform that typically has four wheels.

    Thanks for cuming to my Ted talk

    Clearly it’s a ‘sack-truck’ but then UK and US are nations divided by a common language.

    It is a chest-high L-shaped metal tool with wheels at the corner so you can rest a heavy object on the bottom part and then lean the tool backwards to lift the load and wheel it around.
