The genuine people, just looking to keep stuff out of the trash and find something they can use.</li><li>The people who expect the universe to be handed over to them because they deserve it. Ya know, their uncles bestfriends sisters aunt's dog got ran over by a car, so they need a new laptop. I think I have demonstrated a few of those around here.</li><li>The people who have garbage and they are too cheap to throw it away themselves, so hey why don't you come throw it away for me? Example: <blockquote>Free water softener! It works great! Only issue is that two weeks ago it leaked<br />some water on the floor, but that could probably be fixed. Yours for the taking.</blockquote>Gee, the only issue with it is that IT DOESN'T WORK.
