Dear Soph, Gleam, whoever else is reading here and advising her. Here’s a little step by step guide to help you:
1. Acknowledge how lucky you are to be gifted product.
2. Rather than waiting for your greed to be pointed out, show some awareness and say you will be donating said product to charitable cause.
3. Google local charities that would be grateful for said product. Do not ask your sheep about local food banks. They are not google! And this should not be about you being congratulated!
4. Once you have decided who to donate to, you can then put up a post, if you must, to say that you have decided to donate the said product and give some useful information about the charity and why you chose them. Do not pretend that you donate to them all the time!
5. Do not show a video of yourself running around like a mad woman to donate said item. You look like you’re panicking and arse covering due to your total lack of awareness!
6. Do not call the charity or any of their volunteers or staff “cute”. You will make yourself look like a patronising dick!
7. Do not put a picture up of what you have donated (especially when it’s nowhere near as much as your were gifted in the first place, and you have clearly just scrambled around in your cupboards to throw something together!). Maybe you could put up a list of common items that food banks need and encourage your followers to also donate.
This is not foolproof. TBH, you probably will never win due to the continuous BS and selfish behaviour you demonstrate! But, you never know. It’s not rocket science, it’s just showing a little humility!
