to wonder who would put RAZOR blades in food bank donations.

[Darkesteyes]

Absolutely horrifying. Has the hatred of people who are struggling really got this bad?!!! How could a person be sick enough to do this.

WTF?

It boggles my mind sometimes that we are all considered the same species, though I do remember several recalls of baby food/milk over the years for similar utterly evil reasons.

I hope they catch whoever did this and throw the book at them!

WHY?! why would you DO that?!

That's horrible!
When I saw your post I assumed you meant something like sealed disposable razors and was going to say YABU because poor people don't want to be hairy either.
What is the world coming to? If you don't want to donate then don't! Don't try and injure somebody because they have less money than you!!

Everythings Dozy I assumed the same thing when I saw it in my Twitter feed. Then it came up in my feed again and then got a nasty feeling just before I clicked on the item.

WHY FFS!!!

I was hoping it was some urban myth (like in halloween camdy in the US). Society is definately getting less generous and more shitty/selfish imho.

FFS!!

That's made me feel quite sad!

the same people that would open donation bags left outside my charity shop (i.e. out of hours) when i managed it, and piss /shit/ puke into them then do them up again. also put knives and blades inside, etc. if they werent nicking the stuff that is
We also had a phantom slasher. A woman who would go round all the charity shops in that area slashing clothes just for the hell of it.

I though the same as Dozy. American food banks and church pantries take toiletries. People in need appreciate these.
Never give anything you would be ashamed to have for yourself.
At the same time, thrift store's shouldn't charge more for used than a new thing would cost.

The same type of people who put razor blades on playground equipment

Some humans suck.

I am fast losing my faith in human nature.

Jesus wept.

That is the most depressing thing I have ever read.

I am just speechless at this.

Jeez, that's just sick. WTF is WRONG with some people?! On reading the title I assumed you meant sealed packs, and thought what's wrong with that, they might need to shave too!
This, though? Scum. Sick in the head.

Some people really do wish ill, even death on those poorer than themselves. Some seem to believe that the less well off are by definition lazy, stupid and bad people. They cannot be bothered to try and understand how people fall on hard times, that it can happen to anyone that a person can work hard yet be low paid. In fact they are resolute in spreading this view as if it somehow prevents it happening to them.

This takes it to a new level however.

It's not a new thing

There have been sick individuals around for years. The only new thing about it is that it's food banks and not another charity or a supermarket or shop.

I can remember my mother discussing the razor blades left on a slide in our local park when I was a child - and I'm no spring chicken!

I do hope they catch these idiots, too.

The anti benefits propaganda in certain sections of the press is at least partly responsible.

This IS a hate crime.

The same type of evil twat who would troll someone on Twitter with death threats

I agree Op. The anti benefits propaganda has a lot to answer for.

Take that, along with an individual who is mean to the core, and this is what you get.

That is so awful

Its the kick people while their down, to make yourself feel superior attitude.

Some people are utter cunts.
