So in our redecorating fervor, we saved our old couch and recliner (along with some rugs and other items) for the local homeless shelter. A few miles from our house, there is a year-round homeless shelter and items donated to them above and beyond what they need are given to their store. They use the money they make from selling donations to meet the needs of the local residents.
About 3 weeks ago, we called the store and scheduled a pick up of our furniture. They said they would be here today at 10:00. Of course, that time came and went with no furniture pick-er up-ers. G called them and they said they would be here sometime between 10 and 3. Well, that changes things, but whatever. You know what happens next. 3:00 comes and goes with no show. G calls again and they say they have to unload the truck then they'll come over.
I'm going to admit to you that I actually thought to myself, no wonder these people are homeless.
Now that you have no respect for me, I'll continue. You'll want to stick this one out.
When the guys came, they refused to take our furniture because it's in "bad" condition. What???? Did you see the pics I posted? Apparently our home decor is not up to par for homeless people. But they said for $25 they'd take it to the dump for us.
Talk about humble pie.
It's ok though because we got the last laugh. We saw them turning to leave and brushing loads of rabbit hair off their clothes. Take that, snobs.
