I have heard people complain and ask the rudest questions when they come to the store with their coupon for a free panty, they should be happy and greatful.

I've seen people do that too. You have to think what's up with that? People are so rude sometimes. You wouldn't think that they'd have anything to complain about with getting free things! Duh...it's free, what more could you possibly want! Personally, I feel like it's my lucky day if I got a free coupon for anything.

it is in some peoples nature to be unhappy and complain about anything. I have worked with people for years and almost everytime something is given that is free it isn't a good color or it is too big or too small, doesn't work for their needs. Terrible isn't it? I have to agree that if something is free I will take it and if I don't need it there always is someone that does need it.

It starts young! As a teacher I give prizes to my little ones for winning games, etc. You ought to hear the complaints I get because the prizes are big, expensive items. I gave out 16 miniature puzzles on Groundhog's Day. One little girl announced, "My mother buys me better puzzles than this." I wanted to say, "But your mother doesn't buy 16 of them." However, as always, I kept my mouth shut.

When u get something free the value of the thing is diminished. They want to show their superiority so they become rude towards the people in the store.

A pessimist will also complain about the noise when the opportunity knocks at his door...

People whine way too much. They are never happy. Just look around this site and you'll see people complaining even though they are making money for sitting on their butts.

I don't know what that's about but it's disheartening, I agree. I wonder if there's getting to be a sense of entitlement, of people expecting everything for free and then complaining when it's not enough? I think it's terrible and I try to remember to be grateful for everything wonderful (and free panties would qualify) that comes my way!

You are lucky to get free underwear. I think some people are very sceptical about free things they always want to know why they are free and what the catch is, i.e. what have they got to do in return for something that's free! Me, I love freebies — can never get enough of them, lol If I dont need them I just pass them on to someone else, as i am in UK i cant get the VS freebies!
