在“什么都不买”的自由世界里拒绝“买买买”(20)

按照群组的要求，让物品慢慢等待，然后你最终必须从众多接受人中选择一个。但是你如何决定哪个陌生人值得拥有你的旧冰格呢？
“It’s like getting picked for the basketball team — 10 people reply and how do you pick?” Ms. Gross said. “I don’t like the public nature of it. I don’t like having to say, ‘Sorry Mary, I’m going to give it to Fred.’”
“这就像打篮球时选人——10个人举手了，你怎么选？”格罗斯说。“我不喜欢它的公开性质。我不想被迫说，‘对不起，玛丽，我要把它给弗雷德。’”
Sometimes people don’t show up to claim their stuff, or make it difficult to arrange a time for a pickup. Private messages can get lost in Facebook Messenger, leading to confusion or disappointment. Some members seem to claim more stuff than others, simply because they spend more time on Facebook. When you know another member personally, which is likely when everyone lives in the neighborhood, you might offend a friend if you choose someone else to take your loot.
有时人们没有来领取他们的东西，或者很难安排领取时间。可能在Facebook Messenger里找不到消息了，从而导致搞错或失望。一些成员似乎比其他人要的更多，仅仅是因为他们在Facebook上花费的时间更多。当你私下认识另一位成员时——这很可能，因为大家都住在这一带——如果你选择把你的好东西给一个人，你可能会冒犯另一个朋友。
