So I'm re-decorating my living room and had a couple of leather chairs that I needed to find a new home for. Both chairs were in good used condition--real leather. One a recliner, the other a club chair.
Rather than go through the hassle of trying to sell them on Craigslist or something, I decided to donate them to the local Goodwill store and get the donation receipt for taxes.
I load them in my pickup and head to Goodwill on Saturday morning. Goodwill guy meets me at their loading dock and stops to inspect the chairs. Then he tells me they won't accept the donation---because one of the chairs had "animal hair" on it.
Well, yeah. I live with 4 dogs. Do you have a damp rag?--they are leather chairs, the offending hairs would wipe right off.
Nope. They can't accept them. so I left. Feeling a little offended and not a little dirty.
I set both chairs next to my alley dumpster. They were gone in 10 minutes.
This brings back memories of being young and just married... I found more than one piece of furniture for our first little apartment on the side of the road... Perfect example of "someone else's trash being someone else's treasure!"
Don't worry, they wouldn't want mine either. I've learned to coordinate my clothes to the color of my dog so everyone won't keep saying, "You've got dog hair on your pants." Well yeah, he sat in my lap before I left home.... a little scotch tape will pull it right off.

I guess they wouldn't want my house, either.
