I'm sure there's a calm and mature response to this and it's not really a big deal but it really annoys me.
A neighbour asked for something on our local FB page for a lockdown craft project. I happen to have exactly what she needs, it's unused I am happy to give it to her for free and she lives in the same street as me. She hasn't bothered to answer my offer. I've also posted to ask her to check her messages and I've posted a photo in messages so she can see it's a genuine offer. She has answered someone else who offered a different thing she needed but she hasn't bothered to reply to me for three days. I'm sure she's ok as her son has just strolled by.
I think it's rude and I guess it's compounded by the fact it's the second time I've offered something quite expensive in response to a FB request and similarly had no reply. In that case I followed it up with a phone call a long time later, the woman said she did still want it and eventually collected it but an apology/excuse for not responding. A thank you would also have been nice. Of course I am only offering things I can afford to give away, it's not a great sacrifice so I don't expect huge gratitude but a simple 'great! When shall I get it?' would be good. Or, 'sorry I realise I don't need it after all but thanks for offering'
I won't be responding to requests like this again obviously but I wonder why this happens. What's wrong with people? or AIBU?
