I belong to a recycling group where we offer items to the group before taking it to the tip/bin....and this week I did a massive clearout after a recent house move. I offered various items like a fish tank lid, books, soda stream bottles and even a working DVD player. Yesterday whilst I was outside in the garden, a gentleman turned up and as the time was close to one person due to collect the fish tank lid, I asked him "Are you here for the fish tank lid?" to which he nodded.
I opened my door and brought out the lid, explaining the tank didn't survive the move but it had never been used and needed a good dusting and showed him the basics. He thanked me and taking the lid, went on his way.
This morning, I email people that didn't turn up to collect the items they wanted yesterday, asking if they still want it, on the one's that had not shown up AGAIN without letting me know (my DVD player), I withdrew my offer to them to give to the next on the list who would hopefully, seeing I am giving something which has value, working and good - ie my DVD player, turn up.
Within ten minutes, the person who requested the DVD player originally, emails me with:

I was at your place yesterday between 12:00 and 13:00 hours and you gave me something like a dvd cover.  I was even thinking but she said she has a dvd player.So I showed up but you gave me the wrong stuff

I sat there, staring at my screen - DVD COVER????? I explained fully, that it was a fish tank lid!! Why on earth didn't he say at the time - I've come for the DVD player!! not this......I would have got annoyed but I was still laughing from him saying it was a DVD cover....I mean....I even showed him where to put the tank light!

Maybe he was stunned by my beauty and just took what I was offering in the hope that he'd have to see me again to put this right!!!!  (MAYBE???)
