can't imagine what kind of person you'd have to be to want someone to pay money for busted old poo poo you don't want any more. If I had like a years old fridge or whatever that still worked and I didn't want it I wouldn't ask for money for it, I'd just say to people, if you want it you can have it. You just have to come round to my house and take it away for me. As long as I don't have to make any effort.

We gave away this big round table and 3 chairs to someone after posting them available on Facebook. This obese middle aged lady and her 20-something son with an American flag MAGA sweatshirt and a tshirt that said “defund the media” on it showed up in a Jetta. The son just stood there and the old lady spent 5 minutes trying to jam everything in unsuccessfully, muttering to herself and wheezing and panting like she was gonna have a heart attack. Eventually I convinced her to give up and she came back later and I had disassembled the table some and I guess they fit it. I don’t know if I’ll ever give anything away again.

I gave a few things away on Craigslist for free, and the worst part for me was having to hear the long and involved story about what people were gonna do with the stuff. Like... just take it. I don't know you. Please don't talk to me.

They don't feel good about taking it without giving back, so they attempt to offer their time by way of a context, not really understanding that you didn't do this because you wanted company. You just want the crap out of your house. I'm not sure what the name of the phenomenon is, but it's real, and I hate it too. I've got poo poo to do.

Weird, Possibly "Satanic" Stuff in Neighborhood?

Hello I live over on Skyview Drive and have seen some "weird" stuff lately.

House on Lakebed Lane (do not want to put # here for fear of attack) has had MANY deliveries lately, lots of boxes on porch. Nobody leaves house any more, not in almost a year! Did not see anyone visit on Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc when used to be MANY people there.

To top it off they had SEVERAL Democrat signs in yard this November and even a Black Lives Matter Inc sign at one point. You are free to vote however you want but BLM are terrorists and Democrats murder babies (even outside the womb!) so you know what.

Couple that used to live there seemed very nice, did not know they moved out, not we have very Strange things going on. Does anybody nearby know what is happening? This town is going downhill FAST - used to be a Very Nice place to live, now I don't know!!!

Alternatively, sometimes I give away poo poo for free because I dont have poo poo to do and might get an interesting story out of it. Mainly its loonies or meth heads though.

A brief yarn is fine. But I should have clarified that one time I did this, some lonely old guy came out for an old computer I was giving away and would not stop talking. I was cool with it for the first 20 minutes, though I told him at least three times I needed to meet friends for lunch, and finally said I was happy to help him with his project and bade him farewell after another ten minutes, when he started getting mad talking about his divorce. I'm not a therapist, I'm a guy giving away a computer. That's colored things for me since, but it's my damage.

But all of that said, yes, it's fun to hear stories from strangers sometimes.

Someone stole one of my trash cans. I don't know who because I didn't have 60 cameras on my property. :(

It didn't have a lid and had a hole in the bottom too. Who was that desperate?

I’m teaching piano remotely at the moment and it’s a pretty sweet gig. There’s the rare connection issue but other than that, it’s very doable. Not the best for younger students though, it can sometimes be difficult explaining techniques without being able to play beside them.

life is killing me
Oct 28, 2007

My neighborhood’s Nextdoor has devolved into politics. One of the moderators made a forum or thread or whatever specifically for politics and everyone refused to use it because they preferred to make everything about politics. There was a post about voting centers (admittedly already about politics) and their locations and within three hours it turned into a 350 comment-long shouting match. The more liberal posters were actually being quite reasonable, but this being Texas, the conservative posters were literally calling people prostitutes, gold diggers, lazy welfare moochers, and generally being downright nasty to everyone else.

Our street is kind of off the beaten path and my wife and I are the youngest on our street by no less than thirty years at a minimum. We don’t need Nextdoor, we are all (willingly or unwillingly) on a group text message thread where the oldest of three old lesbian couples (who are inexplicably conservative) are like the eye of loving Sauron when it comes to paranoia. To be fair lots of weird poo poo happens around our street: people come to dump things, people park RVs on the side of the road to sleep for the night, and a few times we’ve caught scantily-clad girls doing sexy photo shoots on the hoods of classic cars. Otherwise it’s all about an alligator that P&W won’t do anything about until it hurts someone

This is anecdotal, but relevant.

Opiate/cocaine addicts actually sneak into houses at night and steal lightweight poo poo, mostly cash, firearms, meds and electronics without traceability. They mostly break in through unlocked doors, creep in and out.

They don't case the place or come in a car. If a vehicle existed it would have been sold for a ten pack of stamps long ago.

The sort of sad thing is that these overly paranoid old people on nextdoor are missing the real problem. Get some motion sensors and some obvious cameras, wtf?

Waste Management stole my trash can, they chucked it into the back of their garbage truck either on accident or to be dicks (I've witnessed them speeding up and slamming into cans a few times - just for fun). Then when I called they made me file a police report. Okay: "Hello, Mr. Police. Waste Management stole my garbage can and they won't give me another one until I have you file a report that says they stole it. Thanks!"

like two years ago i wouldn't have even considered it, but the pandemic forcing me to get at least a little webcam savvy for running nerd games for my friends made it seem like a much more viable idea

are there any weird considerations i should keep in mind for doing it remotely that might not be obvious?

Our trash bin went missing several months ago, I couldn't fathom why someone would steal our trashcan and then I learned that sometimes when they use the robot arm trash can sometimes it just chunks the bin into the truck and they just drive off with it.
