An Inconvenient Freecycler

> Hi there

> *** in *** freecycled her Dyson today, but accidentally gave away her new one instead of the old. She would really like to swap them back, please! Can the man who collected it, please give her a ring on *** or reply to me on this email?

> Many thanks and sorry for the confusion!

I believe that she was momentarily distracted by a volcano in her kitchen.

Another gem from our local Freecycle group

> My kids desperately need a Working dishwasher, as they are fed up being the manual alternative.
>
> And I must admit I fed up with yelling at them, when all I get back is I’ll do them later.

“Kids, do the washing up.”

“No.”

“I said do the washing up!”

“No. Buy us a dishwasher.”

“Yes, master.”

“And we’re bored of tidying our rooms. Build a robot to do it for us.”

“Yes, master.”

“My books seem to be scattered all over the sitting room floor.”

“I shall hire a cleaner, my liege.”

Another absurd Freecycle posting

> Hi, I am looking for a bigger TV say from 28″ upward. My small TV is too small for living room!

I was tempted to reply to this with “Hi, I’ve got a 42″ plasma screen that I don’t use very often, about once a day at most. I’d be willing to give you that for free. You can have my Blu-ray player as well, if you think you could find a use for it.”

The stuff you see on Freecycle

Included as part of a “various items” posting:

> An item that l cannot describe except it is something that you can buy in clinton cards or birthday. It is basically a plastic thing that you give as a little present for a friend – Hope this makes sense

Also known as: a piece of plastic tat.
