๐Ÿ”ฅfree rice on Karrot brings out the worst people

5ChiaraAm2026.10.09 03:11๐Ÿ‘ 1408๐Ÿ’ฌ 13โ™ฅ 58

A guy who gives away spare rice and Spam on ๋‹น๊ทผ (Karrot, the neighborhood resale app) says he's done. Someone begged him to deliver because they were 'unwell' and a perfectly healthy young man came out to grab it, and another person demanded all 30 cans of Spam meant for three people until he handed them 10,000 won 'for bus fare' just to make them leave. So his company's spare t-shirts are going to a local welfare center instead.

Top replies: "I stopped doing ๋‚˜๋ˆ” (free sharing) ages ago, too many ์ง„์ƒ (nightmare people)" and "just leave it at the apartment entrance with a note." The welfare center plan is the wholesome ending this story needed.

30 cans is a year of fried rice in my house. Still wouldn't take it from three people though.

vocab time: ๋‚˜๋ˆ” = sharing, ์ง„์ƒ = that customer. now you can describe half of Karrot

saving ์ง„์ƒ for the next customer who wants a discount on an already discounted item. finally a word for it

'unwell' and then walks out for the rice. at least commit to the bit

every ๋‚˜๋ˆ” post attracts at least one ์ง„์ƒ. it's basically a law of nature at this point

the 10,000 won bus fare part killed me, he literally paid them to leave

30 cans of Spam for one person is almost impressive. that's a whole winter

Giving it to a welfare center is a good call. A place with staff means nobody negotiates at your front door.

30 cans of Spam for three people, then ten thousand won to make the guy go away. That's a short film and the ending is just him paying for peace.

6Yoonseo2026.10.09

extra vocab: ๋ฌด๋ฃŒ๋‚˜๋ˆ” (free giveaway) is the tag you search on Karrot. it's also where you meet the people who ask you to deliver it for free

welfare center is the move. I left a box of clothes by my building door once and still got three DMs asking if I could bring it upstairs

6ppalli_ppalli2026.10.09

the 10,000 won was probably framed as ์ฐจ๋น„ (cha-bi, transport money). people use it as the polite way to give a small amount to send someone off. here it was more 'please go away'

welfare center is the right ending. my version is leaving the Spam at the door with a sign that says 'one per person, I can see you through the peephole'
