Neighbor spends $136 on groceries for a mother from Nextdoor, gets complaints about missing items, then spots another near-identical post likely from the same person asking for help again: ‘Helped someone and got hit with entitlement’

Good deed goes sideways when a kind neighbor answers a Nextdoor plea for food assistance, spends $136 on groceries for a mother and child, then gets scolded for missing mandarin oranges and bacon that were out of stock. Soon after, another suspicious post appears from someone with a matching last name, supposedly a single dad in the same town, asking for identical help. Gratitude clearly didn't make it into the delivery.  

Online kindness was supposed to be the heartwarming antidote to digital cynicism. Instead, it's become a sport where generosity meets amateur con artistry. This mother's complaint reads like a Yelp review of compassion gone wrong. Imagine being fed, for free, and still arguing about fruit cups. Some people see a helping hand and mistake it for customer service. The bizarre twin post from the alleged single dad only adds a layer of Craigslist noir to the whole situation. It's not charity anymore, it's improv theater performed by opportunists with Wi-Fi.
