"Somehow I ended the year with four TVs"

In May my old (and insanely missed) roommate, j.lou, graduated, along with a lot of her friends. One such friend, k.dan, stayed with us for a couple nights, and turns out, she didn't want her TVs. Said TVs had also been owned by another friend of j.lou. So k.dan and I loaded her TWO extra TVs into my car and I had, in addition to the one TV j.lou had given me and my own TV, four TVs. So I brought one home and lent it to  e.sum for the summer, then he loaded it back into my car and I pawned it for $25. As he loaded the TV into my car the following conversation took place:
Me: "Thanks for using Sarah's TV Rental Service!"
E.sum: "It's so easy! You don't even have to pay!"
We laughed on the roadside for hours. Or minutes.
Moving on.
So today I was talking with cute.d and she commented how she doesn't have a TV in her new home, and they don't have a couch.
Being the compulsive helper I am, I almost yelled "How do you not have a TV? I have three! Do you want one?" (when I say 'almost yelled' I mean I DID say that and I was so insistent it was nearly screamed as I said it.)
I didn't really think about how the one I was offering her is tiny and also has a built in VCR, something she probably doesn't want.
I'm so generous.
