I'm an old grouch at 33.

I have run into this situation with freecycle a few times. Of course, when I am LOOKING I am the one complaining because the tv sets they are giving away are not old & decrepit ENOUGH! But then I try and give away something perfectly decent and folks want to turn up their noses. Most recently I gave away a working VHS camcorder & a nice 13" color monitor. The guy was all smiles but the next day he was on there again looking, I guess he wants something better.

I guess there have always been spoiled kids but the situation doesn't seem to be getting any better. I am in the wreck repair business; some of these kids just keeping destroying one $20,000 car after another while Mom & Dad just shrug their shoulders & laugh it off. Too bad, once they have gotten away with it once I think it is too late.
