“Dear PoP,
This chair started the weekend at the top of the block and, got moved over two days. I presume it was put there by someone moving in or out who wanted to get rid of it.
Today it’s in front of my house. The chair looks ok in this picture but, up close, you can see why nobody’s taken it. Its old, very dirty and three days on the street hasn’t made it any cleaner.
It’s one thing to put something on the street that someone wants but if it’s not taken then it’s called dumping. I think it’s great when folks leave decent things on the street for folks to take, but if it’s there more than 12 hours, you gotta take it back and do something else with it.
I called 311 this morning and now, because of the owner’s irresponsibility, the city’s going to have to send a truck out and cart it to the dump.”
Where do you guys fall on the “free” items debate – a nice gesture or a just a lazy way to get rid of your things?

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
