People discuss the worst hand-me-downs they got after woman receives 'rancid and poopy' baby clothes
A woman who received hand-me-downs for her toddler from a coworker felt "disgusted" after discovering that they had a "poop or diarrhea smell." The coworker reportedly said they were "well-loved, in 'play' shape, with some stains, but all had just been washed," according to the woman. This soon sparked a discussion with people revealing the most disgusting hand-me-downs they received.
When the woman found out "there was a rancid poo stain on the pants" she was furious. She said, "It's completely unhygienic and while I appreciate the clothing, it's really not okay." After the incident, the infuriated woman shared her story with the 'AITA' community on Reddit.

'We LOVE pre-loved'
The woman wrote, "Now, I don't mind stains or worn clothes for my toddler at this point. She will either make it that way herself or burn through brand new clothes too fast, so we LOVE pre-loved for this stage." She also said that when she opened the package, she found some really adorable clothing. She continued, "Folded in, however, was a pair of black pants. I held them up to take a look as I did with each piece to make sure it's something I'd use and noticed that it was wet. I took a sniff and immediately smelled diarrhea/poop smell. Gagging, I turned it around and sure enough there was a rancid poo stain on the pants."
"This really pisses me off because..well.. I feel like that's totally unacceptable," the woman continued adding, "I would never in a million years think of sending that to someone's house and I would make sure what I'm folding truly is clean." When she saw the coworker next she said to her, "I found a pair of pants with actual wet, seemingly fresh poo stains folded neatly into the pile. This was disgusting, please check clothing properly before handing them to someone. It's completely unhygienic and while I appreciate the clothing, it's really not okay."
The woman stated in her post that although her coworker later profusely apologized to her, she heard from a different colleague that she was spreading the word about how she was an "ungrateful a*****e." The woman wrote, "I complained about the clothes being too old when I should have expected it as they were hand-me-downs. I said that her side of the story wasn't true and what had actually happened."
The woman concluded, "Anyways, I'm pissed off but I do understand it's embarrassing that it happened to her. I don't see how someone does this without knowing."
'Some of the items donated still haunt my dreams'
On Reddit, many users recounted their own experiences with such donations. A user commented, "NTA I used to volunteer in a charity shop and some of the items donated still haunt my dreams." Another wrote, "I once saw a giant Vaseline tub refilled with used condoms, like one of those industrial size tubs that holds at least a gallon. Also lots of worn out “massagers”. All were burried in larger boxes of junk, so the previous owners likely never looked carefully. At least I really hope so." Another user said, "Bag of used nappies and used needles was the worst one for me." "My wife works in a charity shop and the things people donate blows my mind," wrote another. One person commented, "I once was unpacking children’s toys from a donated box and I found some…. “Adult” toys at the bottom. Used. Never gone to management so fast!"
