  • Posted on my local Freegle today:

    small car needed working and with MOT. Rgds

    I don't know if Rgds counts as good manners?!
    I must remember that "Money Saving" is not buying heavily discounted items that I do not need. :hello:

    Dear Freecycle members,

    It is with glee that I am informing you all that I will be hanging up my lead moderator boots as quite honestly the amount of morons I have had to deal with is beyond stupid. Between the lady that emailed me saying that freecycle was crap because she never got anything she wanted, the bloke who thinks google are 'after' him, the lady that wanted to report a member to the police for not responding and the total pillock who reports that he makes between £1100 to £1300 pounds a month from selling other peoples stuff, quite honetly I cannot be bothered anymore. Most of you are decent, kind people but the rest are obviously missing more then grey cells. So good luck in your future freecycling and do be more careful who you give your old things to!

    Laters Baby ;)



    Oh Gosh - that was me. I didn't realise my post ended up on here! I haven't been back to freecycle since either. Some of the emails I used to get were honestly incredible!

    I have had many Light Bulb Moments. The trouble is someone keeps turning the bulb off :o

    We currently have someone asking for old crocs, roller skates and sandles (inc size) and to send them to the address stated above

    the mind just boggles - tbh I really don't want to think about it that much :eek:

    This made me quite angry today on my local Freecycle
    I am looking for all working a LCD T.V bigger than 27", an IPAD for uni and a decent working Mobile looking for free or cheap items because of being a new student.

    Shocking this has been allowed through via the mods

    Does being disabled make her more deserving of somewhere to put her clothes? ;)

    So annoying when they give you a sob story. Especially when it makes no difference to her needing a wardrobe. I'd be more likely to offer it to someone else.
