This isn't a store...

The Entitlement Whores aren't content with just badgering those in retail anymore; they've moved on to anyone who doesn't run away fast enough.

My mother's neighborhood is having a verge clear out thing. Everyone dumps things they don't need anymore that don't fit in the trash on the verge, government takes it away, etc. I'm not sure if it's done differently in other countries. Anyway, mum's moving, so she was getting rid of a lot of pretty good stuff that she didn't have space for. A few people came and asked if they could have some of the stuff, which is normal.

Then a woman asked mum if she could come into mum's house to see if there was anything else she'd like.

She wanted my mother to allow her access to her home, in order to take her things.

The level of entitlement hear crosses the border from outrageous to hilarious, me thinks.

what did she say when your mom told her "no"?

[Mnemjian]

Do people think before they speak anymore? I hope your mom gave her a good

My family is a bunch of clutter freaks. It's just hard to throw things out. Growing up, my dad always had multiple lawn mowers, fridges, washers, car parts, etc lining the backyard. It's just that these things were useful and he'd eventually get around to fixing them you see.

There were a few occasions where someone would knock on the front door and ask if we were having a sale. Um, no? One time, a guy knocked on our back door, which was behind the house and at the back end of our fenced yard. So this guy just walked right on back into our clearly fenced-off yard, started browsing, then knocked on the back door to make an offer on some mowers we had for "sale".

Just goes to show how far people go in search of a good deal.

I've heard many a story where people will put stuff out on their nature strips with a sign stating "free." People will ignore it. Then the sign gets removed and the items get taken the next day

Wow, I thought it was bad when the hubby and I were moving into our apartment. An elderly woman out walking her dog stopped to scope out our furniture that we had moved from the truck to the sidewalk before making the trek up the stairs. She was actually shocked to find out we were moving in, not out, despite the fact she had walked up and down the sidewalk on the other side of the road, watching us take things in, twice at that point. We left one person outside guarding things after that.

When we went to move out 2 years later we put out the coffee table she eyed. It was gone within a half hour!
