In the chill silent air of the once vibrant city, she smelled him before she saw his approach. He tipped his fedora and with a grin said "Well m'lady, looks like I'm the last man on Earth".
Omg- to be SUCH a shifty asshole that centuries later, people from a culture I’ve never known, in a landmass that’s still a myth…..will KNOW I was a shifty asshole who sold crap goods.
The oldest customer service complaint in recorded history is addressed to a Sumerian named Ea-Nasir who sold very poor quality copper. Feel free to look it up.
In ca 1750 BCE an angry man named Nanni wrote a cuneiform tablet to the merchant Ea-Nasir, that is called the oldest Customer Complaint. Nanni was angry at how Ea-Nasir treated him with contempt by selling him copper of bad quality and mistreating his servant. The arrogant Ea-Nasir became a meme some years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complaint_tablet_to_Ea-nasir

@CodyBurkett this is your humor, for sure.

Well, to be true, silver can also be used, it's a good conductor, even better than copper, but it's more expensive.

Careful... Don't ask him about the new, expanded, ultra-luxe, 500 character limit. He's very upset about it.

Hey, at least he knows the name of the one person NOT to buy from. And people say you don't gain anything by reading memes on Imgur.

My son then spoke the words the demon said he would use, 10 years ago, to identify himself: "Baby shark do dood do do Doo Doo"

Same idea as Doc Brown getting stuck in 1885 because the DeLorean ran out of gas.
atomicsockmonkey
No, the circuits were fried. They fixed it in 1955, Marty came back to 1885, then the gas tank was damaged.

Oh yeah that's right. I knew it was relevant to the the plot of #3. Guess it's time for a rewatch!

Imagine your entire legacy boiled down to being the butt of a joke by more humans that actually existed, thousands of years after you were alive.

More joke that horror, but I dig it.

The horror is he wrote the tablets about Ea-Nasir and his low quality copper

Horror has a lot of jokes.

Plot twist: Ea-nasir sells SUPERB copper and has been victim to a smear that's persisted for millenia.

A smear campaign that planted hundreds of complaints in his house?

Since when is Sumer is a myth?

The Americas were mostly just a legend/myth at that time. Not Sumer

Not centuries, millenia!

My theory is that he actually sold pretty good copper and the guy who wrote the complaint was just a Karen.
lastmanonearthbutidroppedmyglasses
There were actually a bunch of complaints found.
