AIBU to not answer the door when she arrives?

[Lightasafly]

I have a few unused gift sets that I advertised for free in a local page.

A woman massaged me this morning to ask if they were available? I told her yes and she arranged to collect this evening at 5.45.

6.15 comes and no sign of her so o message to ask if she’s still coming

She replied…

“Chill, I’m just putting petrol in the car”

She’s still not here.

Fucking hate time wasters, especially cheeky ones. I’m tempted not to answer the door if she eventually turns up. What is it with entitled people who think you’ll sit around all evening waiting for them to come!

Text her to say someone else has been collected them now.

So rude!

God that's rude. I'd bin them and not open the door.

I would just text and say someine else has collected them now.

Please answer the door to her and tell her someone else has already collected! A kind freebie doesn’t deserve the attitude she’s already shown.

I had this.
Message me twice.
Then made a time ti collect the following day.
Never turned up.
What a plonker.
So I left the 2 items out front the day after.

Someone took them but I bet it wasn't her.
Unbelievably rude.

If it's toiletries, your local Women's Aid would be grateful of them I'm sure.

Just leave it out front for her to pick up whenever she gets there. Job done

@thepeopleversuswork
You'd 'bin them'?!
Wow, really?
Not donate to charity?

So rude!

I had similar this week. Selling a cot on marketplace. Lady messaged asking if I’d accept £40, said I would. She said great can I come pick it up tomorrow? Yes, here’s my address.

Never showed up. Fucking idiot.

Please give it to your local homeless shelter or church for fair or ask food bank if they hive out toiletries or drop in a collection for old people/ children who don't have anyone to buy for them .

@Skeumorph

'Soz hun they've gone'

'Wtf, I'm on the way etc.'

'Chill, you snooze you lose'

🤣

Do this op!

I'd message her back saying not to bother.

In future don't give your address number. Just the postcode and steet name and ask them to message for the number when they get there.

Clearly she doesn’t need them. Could you take turn to a charity shop? Women’s refuges are good too if they need them but there may not be one nearby.

If it's toiletries, your local Women's Aid would be grateful of them I'm sure.

This is a great idea

This is not the crime of the century but my goodness is it annoying.

it's annoying enough without the chill

Text her and say its been taken. I have zero fucking time for people who keep me waiting.

'Soz hun they've gone'

'Wtf, I'm on the way etc.'

'Chill, you snooze you lose'

Another vote for doing this! That would be brilliant. Text her this and let us know what she says!!

Please don't let her have them, op.

Has she turned up yet

Our food bank are looking for stuff like this for Christmas hampers. Plenty more deserving than this rude git.

I'm the opposite. Went to collect a cot, it was very slippery outside due to snow/ice and because I was pregnant I was being careful so I text the person panicking I may be late. She wasn't bothered.

So rude, I’d tell her I have to go out and can’t wait any longer for spite! I had this and like a sap waited in not once but twice!

Cheeky cow! Being told to chill or 'calm down' is the most patronising, arrogant, and sanctimonious thing anyone can say. It's a way of shutting someone down, who is getting rightfully annoyed about something, or who is passionate or angry. It's basically someone saying 'calm down luv, stop being hysterical.' Patronising as fuck. I see it on here sometimes. Someone is getting annoyed and pissed off about something, and/or voicing a really passionate opinion, and every time, someone says 'calm down!' ARGH! Drives me nuts! Who the fuck do they think they are?

I would not even communicate with this woman any more @Lightasafly Someone telling me to CHILL. Fuck that! As pps have said, just tell her if she contacts you again, just say 'the stuff's gone, someone just came to get it as I assumed you didn't want it.' Then block her.
