Bloody gumtree!

More of a rant than an AIBU (but if you think I am and you're someone who does this, I'd love to know why!!!)

Put some moving boxes, for free, on Gumtree as would rather they were reused than recycled.

Person contacted me Thursday, couldn't pick up before today, that's fine. They asked for 11am which I agreed to and then asked for the earliest, so I said 10am (I haven't slept all week, it was my one lie in!). They said they'd come today.

Roll on today, get a message at 950 asking if still ok to pick up, replied straight back and said yes... they replied to say they'd be 30 minutes? Which is annoying, why agree a time if you're not sticking to it?

Annnnd they're still not here, an hour late from their original time, 40 mins from the time they said this morning.

What time do I give up? Of course I've move all the boxes to the hall so will need to move them back again >.<

Can you just leave them outside, get on with your day and put them away if they don't come for them?
I had someone do this when I was giving away some free kitchenware. I had just given up, put it away in my garage and got in my car to go out when the woman turned up hours late for them. She didn't bat an eyelid, apologise or anything. People are just unreal.

Not really, it's drizzling here and I really don't want sodden cardboard on my drive.

Am giving up and going out, but need to decide repost or tip them, so annoying!
