There's a table at work where people leave old things they don't use anymore, especially books. I took a large bag of 20+ old books about a week ago by the time I'd finished work most had already gone. I've never felt such a sense of superiority, been on a high ever since. - ThreadSky

Unless you're the author, I'm not sure you've got a lot to feel superior about

The person who's made a killing selling them on marketplace is probably feeling the same way

And on a completely unrelated note, your colleagues all stopped complaining about their desks having wonky legs.

Had to read this three times before I understood that "I took" should have been "I left". At least I think that's right. Can't make head nor tail of it otherwise.

You’re right, it puzzled me too, it’s not clear whether they took the books off the table or took the books into work to put on the table.

It must be the latter, but I read it as the former first (several times). Couldn't understand why their books were disappearing nor why that made them feel superior.
