F is for Freebies

I am always amazed to see people's reactions to Freebies. There is a table at my work where people put their give-a-ways and some people go crazy over it. I see people get stuff off of there that is truly garbage. Some years ago, people had to be warned that underwear was not appropriate for the free table. And it's true - there was porn on there at one point as well. Interesting place I work.

Anyway, people in general have such a wide variety of reactions to free stuff. I really don't want anything I can't use and I have no desire to have things en masse. Other people want crap just because it's free and they'll take all of it, thankyouverymuch.

Why is it when crap is free that to some people, it is no longer crap? I mean, serious crap - like outdated computer equipment, ugly vases and yucky tennis shoes. I don't get it.

So tell me, readers, what are your thoughts on freebies?
