We have a street WhatsApp group where people on the street often offer up things they no longer need for free. It’s anything from leftover milk to jigsaws and furniture and it usually works well.
Except there’s one woman from the biggest house on the street (so not exactly struggling) who is always first in line for absolutely everything.
A big, expensive kids toy was offered recently. Someone else had already said they’d love it but she piped up saying how much her kids would adore it and the original person backed down. She’s never offered anything herself.
I suppose people are trying to declutter and avoid trips to the charity shop so it's not a huge deal, but the sheer grabbiness is getting to me. We’ve not posted anything in a while but if we do I’m really tempted to say "Not for you, Grabby" if she jumps on it. I’m also itching to intervene when it’s someone else’s item she pounces on.
YABU – It’s first come first served, keep out of it and let her get on with it
YANBU – She’s a CF and someone needs to say
something
