The Picard ManeuverWorth the risk
robolemmyThis is why I give things away to friends and friends of friends. If they ask to borrow something that I’m happy to get rid of, I tell them they can borrow it on the condition that they never bring it back or even mention it to me again.
wise_pancakeMy in laws do this to me, but without asking.
The second I got a house with a garage it got filled with hand me down furniture that I didn’t ask nor know they were dropping off. We don’t use any of it, and we can’t sell it since it belonged to someone in the family and is now on loan to us forever.
Yea that’s a big no. Just tell them you are cleaning out the garage and ask them directly if they want to keep the furniture otherwise you are giving it away
We have negotiated most things back to their houses, there’re still some things my wife says she’s going to refinish in our garage, but she really hates sanding so I don’t think they’ll get done unless I do the sanding for her (I actually enjoy sanding).
ickplantI mean this in the nicest way possible, you may want to set some boundaries.
Yes, we have boundaries now, but the influx in furniture was quite rapid.
Straight to the dump
