I’m Asian too but I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not by saying “bless your heart”

Anyway, if you have an instagram, there’s an account dedicated to “stooping” which is where people post pictures of furniture left on the street for people to pick up. It’s called @stoopingnyc

You can do whatever you want homie. It’s a free country.

Just don’t complain later on when you don’t use germicide or proper antiseptics and then those body warmth feeding vampires start nipping at your scrotum.

I’m sure you’re going to monologue why you think this is not the case for everyone but I’ll spare you frustration and tell you I don’t care.

A lot of different situations in NYC so yeah use your head and Make sure it's clean, but there's people who throw out perfectly good stuff that doesn't need to be in a landfill and might save someone some money
