Charity Shop Shenanigans – “Expanding the Boards”

The Wall of Fame, Hall of Shame, and Walk of Shame grew fatter every week, like a gossip column nobody could resist. By now, there were more entries than actual stock on the shelves.

New Inductees Included:

🏅 Wall of Fame

  • The 50c Haggler – A man who tried to argue down the price of a paperback from €1 to 50c. His reasoning? “The last page looks suspiciously like it’s been read.” Award: Golden Cheapskate Badge.

  • Foreign Coin Lady – Attempted to pay for a Teapot with three Turkish lira, a Canadian quarter, and a button. Winky taped the button to the board with the caption: “Worth more than the all the Tea in China.”

  • Umbrella Warrior – Opened every umbrella in the shop “to test them” until the place looked like Mary Poppins had detonated a rainbow bomb. Large Lad nominated him for “Most Likely to Take Flight.”

😬 Hall of Shame

  • Dirty Underwear Dropper – Still the reigning champion of disgust.

  • The Soggy Shoe Man – Donated a pair of trainers so damp they had their own weather system. Caption: “100% chance of mildew.”

  • The Surprise Sock Bag – Looked like a bag of clothes… turned out to be 37 unmatched socks. Not one pair in sight. Rumour says they all escaped from the tumble dryer rebellion.

🚶 Walk of Shame

  • The Alarm Clock Tester – Set every clock and alarm in the shop to go off at 3 p.m. simultaneously. He is forever remembered in chalk drawing on the pavement outside: “Tick Tock Terror.”

  • Mirror Selfie Guy – Tried on every hat and took selfies in the mirror for 45 minutes before leaving empty-handed. Caption under his doodle: “Influencer without followers.”

The boards became so famous that tourists started asking directions:
“Excuse me, where’s the shop with the underwear shrine?”

Salty just grinned. “Follow the smell of damp trainers and broken dreams.”
