    This is why I give things away to friends and friends of friends. If they ask to borrow something that I’m happy to get rid of, I tell them they can borrow it on the condition that they never bring it back or even mention it to me again.

        It’s more the people on kijiji/FB Marketplace are the scummiest most entitled people you’ve ever met. You’d find a more wholesome group at the cantina on tatooine.

        They don’t show up when agreed, they want free delivery, you get to the meet spot or they show up and they only have half the money you agreed upon as a shitty form of haggling.

        I had one lady tried to get us to take a chair we drove to her house back because she changed her mind (she said she was disabled so we delivered it to her, I don’t think she was because she was just a piece of shit all around when we got there).

        The only people who I’ve ever been happy to give stuff to are the ones who seem to be looking for free stuff, so now we just give stuff away. People show up, they’re excited, there’s no haggling, it’s great.

          Someone did that to me and I was so mad I was going to just leave. Surprise, they had the extra money the whole time! Actual garbage people who do that. I’d rather throw the thing away than get hustled like that.
