t seems if you put free on it attracts only those looking to pick up and sell for ap profit.
We've had that. We used FreeCycle which is a place to list stuff to give away and get free stuff but it started to get abused by re-sell fluffybunnies.
Just give our stuff to the Hospice movement now. You know any money they make is going somewhere useful and they are smart enough sellers to get a good price. We even get emails from them telling us how much they made from what we gave them.

When you're having a dump and the cat somehow gets in and wanders over to you and sits in front of looking very interested.
Makes me fucking nervous and wrecks what should be a quiet few moment of reflection.

People who don't use the correct cadence (is that the right word?) when giving their mobile number annoy me. In Australia we have 10 digit numbers. You give it out with a cadence of 4, 3, 3. It ain't that hard!

There are rules on that?
I usually find that it depends on the number itself and any pattern or natural rhythm -
@crazy-horse this is interesting. Agreed you cant just give the 10 digits with no break but i give mine as 4, 2, 4 because i a have a couple of number double ups and that flows better

My missus spells out her last name against the natural rhythm and I chuckle to myself when I watch the confusion she causes. If she did it to me I would want to poke her in the eye.

Well, I hope you and @Nepia don't end up having to give me your mobile number. Give it to me like that and I will be finding a ticket to write you!

id give you an address but i'm worried @Crazy-Horse will have a preference on how to type the street number

@crazy-horse I always have to spell my last name, and always have to start with 'B for Bravo' otherwise people use a 'V'
I give out my mobile 3-3-3, the wifes number is 3-3-4, my landline is 3-4...is much harder to take down a number when it isnt in the format your mind uses for numbers.
