This is a great idea! I also get tons of time wasters. We once had over 10 people flake on picking up a free couch. I could instead list things for cheap and just give them away to whoever shows up.
I'll start with one that happened over the last two weeks. I had a weight set I was giving away. I was first contacted by a fellow who was interested but couldn't pick it up for two weeks. He asked if I'd hold it for him. For two weeks. WTF. I refused and told him that I've literally never had anyone follow through when I've held items, so hit me up in two weeks if the posting is still up.
He calls me and lays this sob story on me: his mother needs it for physical therapy but they don't have a lot of money. They'd pick it up now but his father is out of town with their only vehicle for two weeks. He promises me that he's a man of his word and he will keep his word to get it if I keep mine to hold the gym set. My inbox is already blowing up from others wanting to get it, so I know I'll be able to offload it, no problem. I decide to give him a chance and hold it.
A week later, I text him to verify he's still interested. He assures me he is and that he's so grateful I'm holding it. I text him again the day before he's supposed to pick it up to check again. He tells me they bought a new set instead. I respond, telling him how I made an exception to not holding things and he gave me his word. He tells me to go fuck myself.
I relisted it and it was gone within two hours. Just for giggles, I check a few local listing apps later that day. My former weight set is now listed on Facebook Marketplace, using the same picture I had, for $100.
Wait, I thought we all went political super saiyan at 3.5%. Then how high is it? 100%? 1000%?
He didn't "donate" to Trump's "inauguration fund".
Biden too since the fat, orange monkey just can't get over losing the 2020 election to him.
Even Bush looks competent compared to the orange clown. This sucks.
I also have chronic pain and it's really the worst. Sorry you're saddled with it too. It's interesting how if you say what you just did to "normal people", they'll often react by trying to talk you out of your opinion, but chronic pain sufferers usually just grunt their agreement.
Seriously, it was written like a 1980s interview with Boy George. No thought, missing words, and even sentences with no subject.
That's great and I agree, but that's not what we have now. What would you have them do differently in this particular situation with the resources, challenges, and restrictions we actually have, not what we want to have?
My cat ate almost 40 hair ties. We discovered this because she went into shock and required emergency surgery. The alternatives were an excruciating death or euthanasia. We were quoted up to $15k but got a relative steal at $7500. My partner fucking loves that cat.
My dad is a dead trash human. I was kinda sad when he died, but life has been so much easier since.

Here's an old but short one. I was selling my Xbox 360. A couple comes to pick it up, so I start it up so they can test it out. Red ring of death. It never had any issues before. I was so flustered and embarrassed that I just gave it to them.
