Loose nut behind the wheel
I gave a pickup truckload of A body parts to a friend of mine when I moved, he has several Mopars as well as a few dozen other makes. Didn't ask him for anything, I just couldn't throw those parts away, what he did with them doesn't concern me, they belong to him.
On the other hand, my wife has been buying, repairing, refurbishing, painting and re-selling all sorts of yard ornaments from gnomes to dogs, angel statues, you name it. She advertises on Facebook marketplace, she puts a lot of hours into most of them, and more than a few dollars in materials. Today she had someone come to pick up a couple of items that she agreed to sell at a reduced price. When the woman saw some of the other items she started asking my wife if she would give her something extra for free. My wife replied that she had already discounted the items that were agreed on, but the woman was insistent that she should get something extra free. My wife finally agreed to give her another figure that she had advertised for $20 at no charge. Some people just like to be a pain in the ***. Then there are those special kind of asshats that offer 60% of whatever asking price is, without even coming to view it, those are the ones I really hate dealing with.

Waiting for the day when someone offers me more than my asking price for something. 
My wife and daughter love bacon. My wifes grandma gets us boxes of 15lbs of fresh cut bacon in small town utah where they have a place. We have 2 spare freezers. One is full of meat (bacon, ribs, briskets, steaks, pork chops - I love smoking meat on my smoker) and other is all junk food, snack foods, and breast milk
. .... (We have a 1yr old baby) we donate the breast milk to the hospital for premature born babies.
I'm trying not to drool on my keyboard... BACON!!!! (Actually, I rarely eat it, but it is the best.)
God bless you and your wife for the donations. That's awesome!

I know I'm right....
I did, we both showed up at the same time and got to talking with the guy. I told the guy I was on my way, this other guy just popped in. price was $250, the guy offers 200, I came back with 225, guy says 250 and I said 260, he only brought 250 so I guess I won...? I got snaked at a Spring Fling for a carb body, 50 price, I offer 30, guy says 40 and I said sure...and the dick behind me says sold and slaps 2 20's in the guys hand and grabs the carb off the table. Literally where I set it down to get my wallet out.Waiting for the day when someone offers me more than my asking price for something.
