Surly, my wife's not the only one on here doing this shit. am dissapoint.
Buy Nothing is a junk exchange club on facebook. people post shit they want to get rid of, or shit the want, and it's all for free. on balance, it hasn't been too bad for us. I think we've gotten rid of more junk than we've acquired. first 'score' of hers was some old busted boogie boards. she read on Pinterest or somewhere about using styrofoam pieces for in her potting mix for house plants. I think she maybe used half of one. I let them sit in the garage for a couple months before I just tossed them.
my biggest bitch about it is that I'm the bagman. she went back to the office, so whenever someone wants some old children's books or random old bric-o-brac or broken holiday decorations I threaten to toss, I get to put it out at the curb for the lucky winner...and bring it back if it might rain before whichever flaky wife comes to pick it up.
a couple times, I've been on my way to go somewhere, and someone's wife will be parked across the end of my driveway, surfing fb or whatever after making a pick up. I mean, for several minutes. I've pulled right up there and waited, finally honking at them, snapping them out of their e-revelry.
I guess the moral of the story is never say anything when you want to pitch old crap of theirs.
