“Offer: Treadmill, does not work, please pick up ASAP.” That was my post on freecycle, and damn if someone wasn’t at my house within the hour with a pickup truck and a smile. For a non-working treadmill! In my mind, I was trying to talk the guy out of it. “You understand this doesn’t work, right? This is essentially a very heavy, very short sidewalk. Do you like REALLY short walks? Because after five steps or so, you’re looking at some pain.” In reality, though, I smiled, waved, and told him to use it in good health.
