    I have just 'freecycled'.
    Would you knock on the door of a house in darkness at 10:30pm without saying you would be that late?
    I had already sent them a rude email about non collection - 'they obviously didn't mean Wed 20JUN07'
    I am speechless!
    My children have woken up and asked who was bing bonging on the door !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'd be :mad: fuming :mad: as well as speechless - are you going to notify one of the moderators 'cos I think that kind of behaviour is just not on. I don't like phoning people after 9.00 'cos I think that's too late (unless otherwise arranged). Your house was in darkness fgs- what, they think you sit in the dark waiting to freecycle at all hours....:rolleyes:

    Some people just haven't got any courtesy - hope it wasn't a child's item you were freecycling - that'd make it even more thoughtless on their part (if that's possible:p )

    :mad: some people:mad:

    thats so out of line. report them to the mods, and let them deal with it, they should at least tell them how its not on.

    fencing? I need some to repair an elderly ladies fence that has blown
    down, preferably with points on the end, not a problem if they have not.

    Can collect, need about 6, thanks :-)

    WHY are the wants always for single parents/poor deprived kids/elderly people?? :p Like this one....
