I was cleaning out my garage at my old house years ago and set a set of factory aluminum Camaro wheels out at the end of my driveway with FREE on them along with a bunch of other stuff. A guy stops and is looking them over so I went out to see if he wanted help loading them. He looked up at me with a disgusted look and says, "These tires aren't very good."
I told him, "They're FREE! I'm giving the
wheels away, the tires go with them." He grunts, climbs in his car and leaves. 5 minutes later another guy stops and asks, "You're really giving these wheels away?" Me, "Yep." He asks, "How about this old carpet?" Me, "Yep." He grins and says "You want all this stuff hauled off?" Me, "Sure." He loaded EVERYTHING, trash and all and thanked me 3 or 4 times for the wheels and carpet while doing it. Half hour later the first guy comes back and grunts, "Where's those wheels?!" Me, "Somebody else didn't care about the tires and took them." He snorts "
I wanted those!" Me, "You should have taken them when you were here the first time then."
