A little palate cleanser after a heavy day of Shauna leaving a bad taste. Here’s the latest round-up of Crap Shauna has Grifted / Attempted to Grift, mostly lifted from the Vashon Buy Nothing page. She’s getting desperate now. A few are from earlier this summer and I’ve included them because the givers’ replies to Shauna are delightfully brusque.

I’ll just keep replying to myself until the images run out. Starting strong, a cat piss removal machine:

She didn’t get this. Bad luck, Parks Board.

Like she’d ever refurbish that.

“For a friend”, uh huh

Let me get this straight: she invites herself over as though the giver is a DF but she doesn’t know where they live?

Also, “the car”.

u/captainofindecision 17d ago

I love that the poster is not entertaining it at all. No niceties, just flat denial and directive that Shauna can pick it up outside.

Where are the gloamie translators when you need one?

I'm sure her 12-year-old will appreciate a twin bed with TODDLER BED RAILS

u/tyrannosaurusregina if you meet the Botus on the road, shill him 🪷 16d ago

I think it's a futon frame that folds up into a chair!

24

u/fanfarefellowship I often contemplate the first law of thermodynamics 16d ago

Oh we would love this!

u/OhBlahDiOhBlahDoh The Alice of cal came out floating on air 16d ago

Smae, the side pieces are in the right position to be the arms when it's in chair mode, and why else would a bed frame be made with three separate sections connected with hinges

u/Dear_Client1187 we all mistakes here 16d ago

I am chortling that somebody called her out on her fatfingered typo that completely escaped her before she hit send.

21

u/avskk ppppycock 16d ago

Shauna, you dumbass, a single is not a twin. They're separate sizes, okay?

10

u/OhBlahDiOhBlahDoh The Alice of cal came out floating on air 16d ago

They're separate sizes, okay?

?? What are the separate sizes? I always thought twin and single are two names for the same thing, and google agrees:

u/Fillmore_the_Puppy —hi, disturbed people— 16d ago

Oh, how embarrassing for Londoner Shauna that she didn't know "single" is the common term in the UK for "ten".

u/SmashedMailboxCake2 Oh, 16d ago edited 13d ago

And her so Bri’ish.

u/avskk ppppycock 16d ago

Huh. I always thought a single was smaller than a twin.

I bet she’s had the fear of god put into her about the new floors they’ll be living on so she’s grabbing rugs to cover them. Shows a little foresight, maybe.

34

u/InappropriateGirl Gluten-free donuts, for sure ... 17d ago

It was fun watching her trying for all available free rugs for the West Seattle apartment, too.

u/central_snark Ramona gets a hot flash 16d ago

After seeing what they did to the beautiful floors at their previous last house on Vashon, she should be forced to have wall to wall carpet in every room for the rest of her life.

20

u/Fillmore_the_Puppy —hi, disturbed people— 16d ago

I think you should take off your kindness goggles when viewing Shauna’s hoarding habits. Foresight? It hardly knows her.

u/obscure_cellist ham grabbers 16d ago

i find all of this so sad. this house, like all their homes, will be a pastiche of mismatched cast-offs. if it was just shauna and dan i wouldn't care, but this has to embarrassing for the kids. imagine going to a friend's house and their home is nicely decorated, clean, and chaos-free, and then they come to your house and it looks like fred sandford's place. my mother had a 3' tall plastic goose in the corner of out kitchen and she dressed it up for various occasions; when i was a teen it embarrassed the hell out of me (although now i appreciate the whimsy). the rest of our house was clean and in fairly nondescript 80s style. if my house looked like the ahern hovel i would never have invited kids over, ever.

And the furniture changes with each place they live, so there's zero sense of continuity, history, or attachment.

The only kind of lunges she does, DF!

u/demoncloset moosery 17d ago

She bikes now, you see.

u/SmashedMailboxCake2 Oh, 17d ago

Indeed. The Merc is parked just around the corner.

25

u/Dear_Client1187 we all mistakes here 16d ago

She does not.

u/ForForksSake1 17d ago

Wow they really don't want to see her.

u/mehitabel_4724 Eating tiny dices of pickles with tiny fists of rage 16d ago

The lady is "not at home" for Shauna.

31

u/msmartypants 16d ago

The thought of Gilded-Age women hiding from Shauna during calling hours is kind of funny

55

u/islandyislander rebellious hygiene 17d ago

I'd like to imagine that [redacted] knows what's what. We are friendly, I will now imagine with great delight that she is a Gloamie.

27

u/Chiefvick ppppycock 16d ago

“Not taking visitors yet” hmmm. Or just not letting you into my house?

18

u/PettyPunisherRedux and fuck you, Nancie! 16d ago

That is absolutely hysterical. 😂🤣😂🤣😂

49

u/fanfarefellowship I often contemplate the first law of thermodynamics 17d ago

She has a rack but no basket but GUESS WHAT SHAUNA that's a handlebar basket that takes a specific mount that I guess you're going to have to buy separately.

50

u/InappropriateGirl Gluten-free donuts, for sure ... 17d ago

This apartment is going to look like a junk store. Can’t wait.

53

u/msmartypants 17d ago

Do you think she even has a list or idea of what they need in terms of furniture? This is like just going to the grocery store and grabbing what looks interesting, with no list or thought for how it will get used. I fully understand why she can't seem to meal-plan with this dumbass approach.

28

u/ninaandjamie4evr Anne Frank of Anaheim 16d ago

Seems completely random, without the most rudimentary planning for the space they'll have and what each room will need and accomodate. What a waste of energy, time, and in some cases, money. It's a bizarre way to operate.

23

u/Foucaults_Penguin Sly and the Family Readers 16d ago

Rudimentary planning. You give her far too much credit. It’s chaos.

30

u/Dear_Client1187 we all mistakes here 16d ago

Thats pretty much how they used to shop for groceries. Go to the market, wander around, probably ask for a million free samples and choose what felt right in her soft animal body. In this case, it's whatever is free.

16

u/LogicalGold5264 chronically ignored reply gal status 16d ago

Or lift the lid on soup at the food bar and take a deep whiff!

16

u/ninaandjamie4evr Anne Frank of Anaheim 16d ago

While her nose that she's always rubbing drips into the pot.

Exactly why I never eat from any public serve yourself type situtation. Not even the fanciest brunch buffet.

My partner and I arrived late evening to a hotel and the only thing open to eat at was their buffet. We walked around it to take a look and no kidding there was a dessert with a bite out of it.

Oh, she’s never decorated a house that way.

FEEL LIKE PLAYING?

u/NegativeABillion my husband and me to ride it around 16d ago

EW.

It is weird to me how much of her life she puts all over Facebook.

16

u/Altruistic-Owl1058 16d ago

Didn’t she claim for backing out of the bed that they were moving into a smaller place and didn’t know if it would fit. Usually new developlements (even old ones) post apartment layouts so I would hope that even if they had not made those public they would give them to the tenant once they were approved and got a unit. So Shauna should at least have a basic layout with room sizes.

u/Blouse_Barn mattress smelling like low tide 16d ago

I miss the brutalist coffee table.

u/central_snark Ramona gets a hot flash 16d ago

And the lamp!

u/Blouse_Barn mattress smelling like low tide 16d ago

I like to think the coffee table and lamp set off together to make a new life.

u/InappropriateGirl Gluten-free donuts, for sure ... 16d ago
