My parents gave me a falling apart couch and falling apart wagon wheel tea caddy. When I moved out of my apartment I left them by the curb.
My brother ‘told on me’ and my parents were upset because it was such great stuff. I said I called the salvation army and they wouldn’t even take the couch. Then I got a lecture about how spoiled those charities are or something (I didn’t quite follow).
Anyway, the upshot is they no longer give me their old crap.
Thumbs up!
