Woman 'living for the drama' as neighbours get involved in cheeky chair dispute

It's a great feeling you get when you donate something - especially when you know the thing you've given away is going to a good home.

So, what would you do if you then noticed that person selling the item on for a personal profit? You'd probably be pretty miffed.

That's what has reportedly happened between two neighbours, and another neighbour has since shared the 'drama' on Reddit admitting hilariously that they 'lived' for this kind of thing.

They wrote: "My next door neighbour put out some chairs in their garden for anyone to take for free.

"My neighbour on the other side took them and placed them in her garden with a £10 sign on them.

"This is the drama I live for!"

People found the post very amusing, but also the actions of the neighbour to be rather cheeky.

"History will trace World War 3 back to this one event", someone joked.

"Steal them and list them for £15 each", another hilariously suggested.

Others were annoyed though because it reminded them of their similar experiences.

They wrote: "Reminds me of the time 20 odd years ago that my mate asked me to bring back a load of cigarettes from my holiday in New York as they were cheaper.

"I paid around 80 quid for them and smuggled them in my suitcase and I was way over the free limit.

"He gave me the 80 quid and then proceeded to sell them for 150 quid. D******d."

Another Redditor had a story to tell: "My mum tried to sell a sofa as she was getting a new one. A couple came to look at it and gave some sob story that their belongings were destroyed in a flood and didn't have much money, so she sold it to them at a low price.

"The next day it was back on gumtree, using the same photo of the sofa in my Mums house for three times the amount my Mum sold it for. No shame."

Have you ever given something away and found it online at a higher price? Let us know in the comments.
