The saga of an abandoned couch has gone wildy viral and these 19 reactions are hilarious
One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. It’s why Ebay is one of the most successful businesses in the world, and it’s also why TikToker ‘yafavv.mandaa went wildly viral.
We’ll let her TikTok – which has been viewed more than 50 million times – tell the story.

Many commenters had the same concern.
It looks so good but I’m SO SCARED about it being BED BUG CENTRAL 🫣🫣.

Naturally, the couch story landed on Twitter, where at least one person was a little envious of the find.

Unsurprisingly, tweeters had the same concerns about taking in furniture from the street.

Has anyone seen this couch? Someone accidentally spilled invasive bighead carp blood samples all over it, so we left it out to dry and now it’s gone. We need it for the break room. Give it back. pic.twitter.com/fiAmXmXE1h

yesterday I had to say goodbye to my $8000 couch because I found 2 million individual bed bugs and 3 different colonies of bacteria inside of it, and it stinks really bad. I left it on the sidewalk for garbage collection 💔 pic.twitter.com/Gq3T72u7nR

So I found this blue couch outside my place. I cleaned it up nice and brought it inside. Then in the middle of the night, a bunch of Greek soldiers started popping out of it pic.twitter.com/gwKPe87OI9

hey you guys, as a reminder, please don’t “save” couches if you find them outside. The mother is probably nearby and she will reject it if it smells like people.

Has anyone seen this couch? My wife said if I loose one more large household item because I was “letting it see the outside”, she would leave me for good. Please help save my marriage!! pic.twitter.com/pxJtyvBh6F
