The story of this free couch found on the street will never stop dividing the internet
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 TikTok user ‘yafavv.mandaa went wildly viral back in 2023.
We’ll let her TikTok 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 people expressed the same concerns about taking in furniture from the street.

couches (especially 8k couches) get thrown out for a reason. not a chance i would risk bringing that into my home. https://t.co/uur7LfjCR3

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

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
