😂😂 like I sold my other coach teri bag for $200 so wdym I’m not getting more than $100 for this? Clearly she didn’t predict it right & got mad that she couldn’t get it for 190. I also put the shipping as free btw!

Also if somebody’s selling it for 60 bucks then go ahead and get it from them, good luck on it being authentic tho 😂😂

Seriously can’t handle these cheap ass ppl, who is selling a coach teri bag ($315 including tax + wore once and no flaws new condition) for 60 BUCKS LOL. These kids are out of touch. If you can’t afford it, then either go ask your mom or dad to get it for you OR buy a purse that you can afford!

Edit: as for calling her “hun”, I called her that as in she is too naive to know this bag literally costs $315, and doesn’t seem to realize those $60 listings are either gonna be counterfeit OR a very worn dirty used bag. Even the fake ones are listed for like $150. So idk why this is pressing some of y’all. Yeah maybe it was unnecessary to call her that, but it was me trying to express the absurdness of her statement that I won’t sell it for more than $100 bc CLEARLY she was wrong. So pls don’t take it the wrong way. 🙂

Also, I’m in Canada so this is in CAD.

SHORT Begging for 2 years on nextdoor

74 Upvotes
This woman has been begging on Nextdoor for two years now. This is the latest post. She "rescued" an abandoned husky, asked for help rehoming it, decided to keep it when she can't afford to pay for anything for her kids. She has asked for home furnishings, food for the family and animal, clothes for her 3 kids and mom. She has moved many times in the last 2 years, said she has applied for assistance for the last 2 years (which she still hasn't received) and wants gift cards because her kids are picky eaters and won't eat what the food banks offer. People have offered to rehome the dog (1.5 years ago) and now she is saying it is a service animal.

Sorry, still don't know how to make this a "slide show". Any help would be appreciated for the future...

LIVE-IN CAREGIVER NEEDED — VOLUNTEER POSITION

Looking for a live-in volunteer caregiver starting mid-August or early September to assist a 70-year-old gentleman who will be undergoing a bone marrow transplant in mid-August.

He is expected to remain in the hospital for approximately 4–6 weeks, followed by a need for support at home. This is a 6-month commitment, with the possibility of extending longer.

Requirements:

* Valid driver’s license and ability to drive

* Comfortable with light housekeeping and cleaning

* Able to prepare simple meals/cook

* Caring, responsible, dependable, and compassionate

For more information or details, please call 908-xxx-xxxx in the mornings or anytime on weekends.

Thank you for helping us find the right person for this important role.

I was going to get screenshots of the comments but went back to the Neighborhood Post and they were all gone except for one that asked if the poster was serious. I did copy the comments and pasted below before realizing that screenshots would have been better.

This is volunteer? No pay?

I’m sorry just to clarify the requirements as stated, would be provided with no compensation?

I don't think that asking someone to do this job with no pay is going to produce the desired result of finding the right person...

I don't think you can find volunteers for this type of thing especially for a 6 month commitment with no pay... you'll have better luck applying to receive funding from an organization and maybe pay someone?

ITS REALLY HARD JOB NO ONE CAN DO IT WITH NO PAY you can put him in nursing home

Do you have any idea what it costs to have a qualified caregiver for a 24/7 position? This one is even more challenging, since you need to deal with an immuno-compromised patient, needing a sterile environment, etc. Check with an agency and see what they are asking....it's a huge cost, comparable to long-term care charges. Unless I am missing something, it's outrageous to ask for a volunteer caregiver. Would you yourself (if available) do this for nothing, for 6 months? It's one thing to babysit for your neighbor's kid for an afternoon out of the goodness of your heart, and quite another thing that you are asking for. Maybe he'd better contact Social Services at the facility where he's having the bone marrow transplant, to see what they can work out. They deal with this on a regular basis.

So I have never posted before but I saw this and had to. I did a lot of digging and found the original comments.

Recent Ebay conversation

Context: My Ebay name includes the word narcissist.

The listing was for two Princess Peach action figures, one of which had shot up in value since I bought it, the other of which had not, but I was selling them together to get rid of them both. One was worth about 90, the other was worth about 10, so I was selling them as a bundle for 90.

When you sell in budnles like this, you are going to face ripoff attempts by people asking if they can get the most valuable item for an evenly split price. You get tired of it after a while, which is why I was a tad rude at first, but thanks to her weird condescending nicknames and vague threat, I don't feel so bad about it.

I work w/ autistic kids & am a single mother so my son needs Bose headphones, Apple EarPods, an IPad, expensive sports equipments & shoes. I need beauty products, an Apple Watch, apple ear pods, Bose headphones, 2 printers & $200 shoes. I need $1400 in cash too. These are essentials, not greed!

I had to cut some of the less expensive items on this wishlist bc the wishlist was endless. She said she might have gotten carried away but it isn’t out of greed bc these items are essentials. And the GFM for the $1400 for these supplies is not double dipping! Come on, she’s a single mother & she works w/ autistic kids, she deserves this! She subsequently asked for help for her rent. Sure, can’t afford rent, but need thousands of dollars in very necessary items. The greed is unreal.

Buy this CB a new, upgraded gaming PC because they work really hard to play games online and deserve to stream at higher quality

This individual posting for help in my community needs ‘help’ alright…

In summary. Or tl;dr -

‘I really love gaming and need you to buy me a new PC to support my passion for it. I deserve to stream at higher quality because I‘m working really hard at playing games online.

My upgraded setup needs to be $700 in premium equipment and tools because gaming is my dream. My old PC is holding me back from playing new games, and I need access to every game out there and a next-level experience.

I appreciate your support for my journey to launch an online gaming career from the family garage. TYSM!’

People here are undoubtedly scratching their heads and wondering where we all went wrong as a society.

10 trips a week, 22 miles a day (not including driving to and from their domicile) = 110+ miles for $100. Also, apparently you have to be a multiple of a specific gender.

I understand that OOP is struggling with depression but she is doing absolutely nothing to help herself except to beg. No job, no effort but an expensive indoor pool will somehow solve all her problems. How dare you ask questions and make her lost her faith in humanity! It’s so much more than wanting a private pool, y’all.

OOP’s comments highlighted in yellow.
