Oh god there's a woman on all the local Facebook pages here that basically uses them as her own personal begging bowl. "Is anyone gifting XYZ?" 2 or 3 times a week, and she's always there asking "can I be considered" whenever anyone is offering anything. I don't think she even needs half of it, she just likes a freebie.This is so petty of me, but I need to get it off my chest. We have a few online groups in my town for giving stuff away for free, and requesting stuff for free. It's usually like "I'm getting a new sofa, does anyone need an old sofa?" or "My fridge just broke down, is anyone getting rid of a fridge in working order?"
Last week, there was a woman fishing on there saying she needed a set of Christmas pyjamas for a family of five. What the bloody hell? There is no way on Earth you actually need matching Xmas pyjamas, you're literally going to wear them once before your kids outgrow them. And just how selfish and entitled, like they can just ask for such a niche, stupid, unneccesary thing when the groups are full of posts from people who don't have their own mattresses or towels.
Bah, humbug lol.
I also think she's selling some of it on. There was a post last week offering some toddler boys clothes for anyone who might be struggling. She was straight in there tying to claim them, when I know for a fact she only has a daughter, and she's way past the toddler stage. She didn't get them.
