【Halinghing】

TikTok creator Yafavv.Mandaa has divided Twitter,Halinghing like so many before her. Earlier this week, she made a TikTok documenting her rescue of a blue couch she found on a New York City sidewalk.

Free curb finds are one of the many joys of living in the city, but fabric furniture is often left out on purpose due to bed bugs or some other hygienic horror show. Plus, Yafavv says it was left out in the rain. So even though she swears she "cleaned" the couch with a handheld fabric vacuum before putting it in her living room, that thing should have been cleansed with fire.

The post made some New Yorkers queasy while others praised her good luck and opportunism. Which side do you fall on?
