I use Facebook on a limited basis. I think that if it doesn't cost me anything, but that guy is a billionaire now, something's being sold and it's probably me. I like MeWe.com. They are much more sensible and as far as I know, my use of it isn't enriching some screaming libtard.
On FB I mostly use the buying sites to see if someone has something that a customer is looking for, you never know. But I am also a "member" of this 'Pay it Forward' group that allows people to ask for things or for people to donate things.
Most of the time, it's someone has had a house fire, has left an abusive situation, etc.etc. A couple of days ago someone had asked for anything that would furnish a home-there had been a house fire. I offered up a microwave cart, some dishes, pots and pans and a lamp from my store. I can write them off, if it helps someone who has lost everything right before Christmas then it's a win/win, right?
Wrong. The person that had asked for things didn't need them because many things had already been given (which is good) but two other people asked me if the things in question were still being offered. And if they were, could I send them a picture of the stuff. Yes. you read that correctly. I guess that they needed to make sure that this free stuff didn't clash with any other free stuff that they had been given.
I counted to ten. I had a cup of coffee. Then I wrote a response: " It looks like a free cart. It's the exact opposite color of the thing that you don't have, and I am offering to give you for free."
What is wrong with people?? Have they been raised so poorly that they think they need to get pictures of any free crap that they are begging for to make certain that it doesn't clash with the other free crap that they are begging for? If that's the case, we are so screwed.
I don't know the age of the person who was begging for it. And I suppose I shouldn't say 'begging' but the idea that you would go onto a site that purports to help people, and then start being picky about what is offered simply blows me away.
If it was trash, I would have thrown it away. At this rate, I will mark it down to what I paid for it and clearance it out of the store. I would have liked to have helped someone. When you do, it really does make you feel good. But this has only made me wonder what is raising these people?
Think about it, you'll thank me later.
