50 Random And Unhinged Things People Gave To Charity Shops That Confused Or Cracked Buyers Up
Interview
We think there are a lot of things to love about secondhand shopping. It’s easy on the wallet, great for the environment, and you never know when you could stumble upon something truly unique at a random thrift store or garage sale. However, ‘unique’ doesn’t necessarily mean aesthetic or awesome! Sometimes, the stuff you come across is beyond bizarre and makes you do a double-take.
That’s where the popular ‘C**p You Find in Charity Shops’ Facebook group comes in. This is _the original_ charity shop group that’s been “ripped off rotten by others” since being founded in 2013. Its members share pics of weird secondhand finds and enjoy poking fun at them. We’ve collected some of the strangest pics they’ve ever shared so you can see just how odd things can get, Pandas. Don’t forget to upvote your fave pics and join the group if you love their content.
The founder of the group, Roland Saunders, was kind enough to answer Bored Panda's questions about the community. Read on for our full interview with him.

Saunders, the founder of the Facebook group, shone the spotlight on the history of the community and what's expected of the members.
"The group started in 2013 trying to make lyrics for a song which did get written and performed," he told Bored Panda.
"Many other groups appeared afterwards so I really took the group seriously and worked on it daily," Saunders said that the group inspired many other similar communities to form.
"Folks love commenting and posting odd stuff," he explained why weird secondhand goods appeal to so many people as a topic in itself. The founder added that there were actually 5 charity shops near where he lived.

After Realising It Wasn't Mj But John Cleese Moon Moonwalking I Had To Edit It. Found In Severn Hospice, Telford
Sinnsyk Jakte 2 years ago
John Cleese invades my dreams. He actually interrupted my dream of a Chinese-Scottish battle in Ireland by abruptly sitting at his desk in a river and announcing, 'And now for something completely different.' And...indeed...true to his word... I had a dream where I was talking to a friend...then my alarm clock--an old timey alarm clock with hammer and bells--went off, and I sleepily grabbed it, put my fingers between the hammers, curled up with it against my chest...and murmured 'Where were we...?' And Cleese gave a brief summary of what my friend and I were talking about. I nodded off and said 'Thank you' out loud before my dreamfriend and I continued our conversation. Was late for school.

Saunders shared a bit more about the team running the group, as well as the challenges that they regularly face.
"We have a team of moderators now who share the burden of the enquiries/posts. The volunteers aren't paid and members talk to them and expect a service. Facebook, eh?" he told Bored Panda.
Charity shopping, according to Saunders, "is an exciting thing to do because you never know what you're going to find."
"You can't go into the shop and expect to find something because, more often than not, you'll find something that you weren't looking for. Then, of course, you find some highly inappropriate things like used sex toys they don't realize are actually sex toys, overly revealing leotards, or mini erotic statues. Members take a pic pretending that they are taking it for a friend and post it on the group," he shared.

Do I Know What It Is? No. Its Purpose? No. Was It £26? Yes It Was
Did I buy it from the joint account and tell my husband that I’d saved him the hassle of arranging a Mother’s Day gift for me? Yes I did. I even hid it in my son’s room so that I can forget about it for the next week and a half. (I told him where though)

The founder of ‘C**p You Find in Charity Shops’ shared that he'd been working in comedy "way before Facebook tightened up its standards," so he'd already set out a "baseline set of rules about not victim-shaming or bullying."
"We don't allow tribal objects for example because although they might be funny, they encourage people to comment on inappropriate jokes. When you look at our rules, they have been carefully honed over time." Saunders revealed that they have to deal with a lot of people who are trying to post adverts or extremely inappropriate or illegal content.
"Most members are from the UK and Australia, however, we actually reach many countries," the founder told Bored Panda that they have a global audience, but Brits and Australians make up the majority. Not everyone in the world might have charity shops, however, everyone can still enjoy looking at and commenting on the weird things found there.
The founder of the group also revealed a very interesting (but rather expensive) tradition the community used to have before. "We used to give a mug away every month for the best post and most active member." However, since the Facebook group isn't monetized, the costs of sending these prizes quickly added up, so Saunders had to stop.

According to the administrator and moderator team running the whole show, everyone should focus on the comedic side of things. So, for instance, there’s really no room for comments encouraging others to go back and buy all of those weird finds because they might net a neat profit when resold.
Members are encouraged to share the name of the shop as well as what part of the world it’s found in whenever they post a photo. If you feel that the item you’ve seen might offend someone else or be very insensitive, it’s best to err on the side of caution and leave it out.

If you really wanted privacy, you wouldn't be looking so damn fine in those groovy threads.
There’s also no room for taxidermy items, furs, or animal horns. What’s more, Facebook users are asked not to post pics of shoes or boots because the difference in taste causes a lot of “needless drama” and unkindness between members. Who knew fashion made people so emotional?!
The founders of ‘C**p You Find in Charity Shops’ also have a few other niche Facebook groups, including one for any treasures you stumble upon, creepy dolls, as well as Cliff Richard memorabilia. So there’s a bit of everything for everyone, depending on their taste.

That thing is gonna come alive at night, sneak into your room and bite your face off. But whatever you do, DON’T throw it away. That’ll only p**s it off.
Going to charity shops, garage sales, and secondhand shops can be a lot of fun if you’ve got an adventurous spirit. You never truly know what you’ll find. So if you have some patience and flexibility, you can really come across something incredible—or incredibly dumb-looking! Whatever the case might be, you’re bound to make someone’s day if you share the photo online. There’s nothing quite like making others smile and laugh with dumb stuff.
Aside from the comedic aspect, buying secondhand goods really is a great approach to living in these economically weird times. You can save a lot of money if you’re willing to buy furniture, clothes, and items that aren’t exactly new. That means that you’re cutting costs and leaving yourself some cash for other things that we all love. Like paying rent! And buying food!!

We Can Say My Thrifting Session Had A Rocky Start... Goodwill In San Francisco, Ca. USA
Secondhand shopping is also a fantastic way to reduce your carbon footprint and be more eco-conscious. When you’re using something that would otherwise have been thrown out, it means that you’re voting with your wallet and not paying for the production of new items.
Statista notes that the apparel market amounted to $1.53 trillion in 2022, set to grow to $1.7 trillion. Meanwhile, BBC Future points out that a jaw-dropping 85% of all textiles are thrown away in the United States. This amounted to 13 million tons in 2017 or 37 kilograms (81.6 pounds) of clothes per American.

Meanwhile, Earth.org looked at just how much waste there is when it comes to the fashion industry. It’s responsible for a fifth of all global water pollution and 3% of CO2 emissions around the world.
It takes roughly 20,000 liters (5,283 gallons) of water to produce a single kilogram of cotton. That translates to roughly 2,700 liters (713 gallons) per t-shirt (aka enough for a single person to drink for 900 days).

For those who aren't British, Mr Blobby was a character from the 90's Saturday night tv show 'Noel's House Party' set in a house in a fictional village of 'crinkley bottom' which consisted of many innuendos and hilarity. He didn't speak apart from saying "blobby blobby blobby" and terrorising the host Noel Edmonds. I begged my parents to get my tickets to be in the audience.

The reality is that only around 12% of the material used for clothing actually ends up being recycled. Many materials used for our clothes simply can’t be recycled, so they’re burned or dumped. Some possible solutions to this would be to change what materials are used, upgrade our recycling technologies, and encourage people to buy and sell secondhand clothing.

Perhaps it's helpful to remember that 80% of the people in Canada live further south than ALL of the people living in the UK. One source said Candlewick Point is the coldest part of California. This month's average highs and lows are 17C and 10C. Compare this with the geographic centre of the UK - the highs and lows are 9C and 3C (and that's a nice sheltered spot). It's not until mid May this sheltered area will get up to an average high of 17C. The growing season for tomatoes in the more sheltered parts of the UK is June to early October. In my home town in Scotland, we grew tomatoes in glass houses, and thought people who grew them outdoors were brave/foolhardy.

From 1977, their second album (their first gave us the disco hit "Daddy Cool"), this cover was deemed too raunchy for North Americans at the time. The US and Canadian releases used the original's back cover, a standard group promo shot with all of their clothes on. A year later, they hit us with "Rivers of Babylon" and "Rasputin" and they were off and running.

Somewhat disappointed to find that two of them (the guy and one of the girls) couldn't actually sing too well and were employed purely as dancers. Others sang on the records, and when they were forced to sing live, they sound very different (and pretty terrible). Bubble burst.

Old toilets make really good planters as they have a reservoir (the U bend) that keeps pretty much every type of plant hydrated even in drought conditions - I currently have two, one with Crocus and a nice Summer flowering Clematis in, the other having a Salvia and a Geum in it - they both look bloody lovely !!

Our local garbage dump has a really nice garden planted in "recycled" toilets at their entrance. I love seeing big burly workers out there watering and tending to it.

I've got good news or bad news depending on where in the world you live. If you're in the UK, you're not an old lady, but squarely in the "middle age" bracket, given the average life expectancy is 81.5 years. If you're in Hong Kong, I have better news - their average is 84.5, so you're technically still a young whippersnapper! In the US, the news is less good. With an average of 77, you've just edged out of middle-aged, I'm afraid.

Secondhand shops in the UK are so uniquely named and specific in their causes. In the US, thrift stores are either 1) Independent and for-profit, like Savers, 2) religion-affiliated like the Salvation Army, or organization-affilated like the Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity. Many thrift stores purport to give back to their communities, but they can be opaque in how they do so. They're never so specific as 'we give money to this hospice or cause.'
