Offered something on Facebook .. now confronted by harrassment

Luckily I'm quite robust and couldn't give a damn but for your entertainment

I'm having a big clear out and putting things in Facebook and olio for people to take.

This morning I listed a play pen on a local group and after about half an hour.got a message from a lady who will come.and take.it this evening.. brilliant.

Just before marking it as taken gone got a message from.someone else

"Need this .. please drop off at X address between 3 and 5pm today" I replied saying it was taken and anyway collection only and left it at that.

Then received

" I can't believe you would give it away without even asking why I need it I bet I need it more than anyone else "

"You're so selfish I bet you sold it instead"

"You don't care about anything but clearing out your house you couldn't give a sh*t about a young mum like me"

"If you've got any other children's stuff message me and you can drop it over tomorrow, I need things"

"You obviously don't care if my child gets hurt because they dont have a play pen.. youve got to give it to me, dont be heartless"

" How am I supposed to come and get it Ive got children you need to drop it off today"

I ignored her and blocked her and now receiving stroppy messages from another person saying they're her friend, I'm victimising her,.I shouldn't just give things away without talking to people about what they need it for everyone deserves a chance..

and best of all:

" you should be dying of shame for treating a young mum like this I hope you carry the guilt.to your dying day"

WTAF ?????

I've blocked them too and await next messages with interest. I strongly suspect they "friend" is also her. I am having quite a boring day cleaning out the loft so this is brightening it up no end

The cheek! Glad you can see the funny side

Ilikewinter · 13/01/2023 13:44

🤣🤣🤣 oh wow, I have a great reply for her but it would probably get me banned from MN! I think blocking her is the best way, I would probably end up in a world war 3 argument !

GlassBunion · 13/01/2023 13:45

They sound bonkers. Just keep ignoring.

Flaunch · 13/01/2023 13:45

I’d enjoy posting that in our towns local FB group 😂

Delorestormborn · 13/01/2023 13:45

I can't believe you didn't psychically know she needed it. What kind of person are you?
I always consult my crystal ball before I do anything!

Noshowlomo · 13/01/2023 13:45

People are bonkers !

BliainNua · 13/01/2023 13:46

Hilarious 😂 I would have to laugh at the ridiculousness of that too.
But unfortunately there are some people who may take it to heart and be really upset, glad you're not one.

IcanandIwill · 13/01/2023 13:46

Oh my goodness. How utterly bonkers. Glad you can laugh about it!

Chowtime · 13/01/2023 13:47

I'd be screen-shotting those messages and putting them back up on the facebook page for everyone to see

ForestLilac · 13/01/2023 13:48

But yes, please screenshot if possible 😂.

GroggyLegs · 13/01/2023 13:48

Add her as a friend.
I bet her FB posts are AMAZING.

PigeonPerchingOnMyWall · 13/01/2023 13:49

Free stuff always seems to bring out the nutters. Every item I have put stuff on gumtree for free has attracted cheeky rude people.

dontleaveitthere · 13/01/2023 13:49

Facebook marketplace is a treasure trove...

Glad you're stoic op and can see the funny side. I couldn't help but post the screenshots though...

@2000lightyearsaway123 I thought you wanted op's playpen for the dogs 🤣

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 13/01/2023 13:55

People are crazy and times are strange.

2000lightyearsaway123 · 13/01/2023 13:55

FFS wrong post 🤦🏻‍♀️. I always wondered how people managed to do this!

As you where.

Tamarindtree · 13/01/2023 13:55

I’m so sorry it has already gone but the lady I gave it to only has one leg, is blind and all her children are physically disabled and she’s raising them on her own.

Would you please let me know your physical ailments so that I can cross reference them in future with others who apply for my stuff so that I can be sure that everything goes to the most hard done by person.
