Strangest Freecycle posts?

[Lorien]

what are some of the oddest requests or offers that you've read on Freecycle? One I saw recently said "WANTED: One night stand" of course, the woman wanted a NIGHTSTAND, but she got over 100 replies about the other sort, lol! Another I saw said "WANTED: corks for my cockatoo-he is bored" I thought that was kind of cute.How about you-what kinds of unusual posts have you seen?

3. this week someone posted 10 cases of adult diapers, size small

"serious replies only please."

Well of course anyone in a situation to have or need adult diapers almost certainly merits a respectful reply. But it did seem a little odd at first. Or maybe I'm just shallow!

Subject: OFFER: Burnt Choc chip cookies


I just burnt a batch of cookies. Maybe someone can use them for hockey
pucks or meet their US RDA for carcinogens. Anyway, they are yours if
you want them...

7. LOL!

hey, the raccoons in my backyard would go for them! :P

I saw an offer once for a loaf of "raw bread"; the person offering it was trying to go on a raw vegan diet, so one had to wonder what was in the stuff!
