Do you think the people who send these kind of posts talk like this - without any "please" or "thank you" or "if you could be so kind" - or is it just when they type stuff in a hurry?

Another want from my local nearly new board.

"Hi i am wondering if anyone can help. My cousin has just found out she is to have a baby in 10weeks time, she hadnt got a clue even though she has 2 other childen, and workin long hours and looking after her other children, it just didnt strike her. She has just been made immediately redundant after the company she worked for went into adminstration, and she literally has nothing for this coming little bundle of joy. Has anyone got any nice unisex clothing that they are willing to give away for free? Delivery to ******** would also be appreciated, as she cant drive at the moment, she has very severe swollen ankles and is in agony. She will appreciate anything no matter how small, everything will help her out. Thanks for taking time to read my ad for her".

How can she "work long hours" AND be "made immediately redundant" surely its one or the other, not both

And why can't her thoughtful cousin or other family members collect any items for her?

Maybe they can afford it but want to follow the freecycle philosophy of reducing what goes to landfill. If people have got stuff to get rid of that she needs then why buy new for others to throw theirs away?
