Starting point is 00:00:36 where an adult tries to sue his parents for a bigger allowance On this next post, OP runs a business and he hasn't done a giveaway on Twitter in about 3 months. Then he received this DM. You're having a knowing! You seem like a nice guy, just eff off! Okay, maybe that was rude.
Starting point is 00:00:55 I'm sorry. I just haven't seen you do a giveaway in a while and I think more people could benefit from your generosity from this community. Your tweets are good and I'm glad you're growing, but I'd love to win a giveaway one of these days. OP, the next giveaway you do should be like, anyone except for this guy can win! News headline, ISD School Board approves 1,000 bonuses for teachers. The $1,000 bonuses were given as a way to thank teaching staff for
Starting point is 00:01:25 their hard work during the pandemic. And then someone replies, How much did the homeschool parents get since they still paid taxes? Likely worked a ran a business, but also educated their own children. Zero. The answer to that question is zero dollars. Hi, I saw your posts on Instagram and I love them. So since I print and frame photos for people and you're a photographer, maybe we could team up or something? Thanks for your interest, that sounds great.
Starting point is 00:01:54 So what were you thinking? Here's my idea. You can send me some pictures without the watermarks and I can print and sell them. Then we split the profits? No! Then how do the profits? No. Then how do I benefit? I'll give you credit and exposure. I have more than three times your followers,
Starting point is 00:02:12 so I think it'll help you. How does that sound? No. I'm not gonna give you images, which I normally sell for free, so that you could make a profit off of them. I'll just for some exposure to your 3500 followers. If you want to be selfish and not share your talent with others, that's fine by me.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Okay, great. But God will definitely never forgive these sins. If you don't change your ways, you'll go to hell. I'll save you a spot. Yeah, remember that part in the Bible? Where'd Jesus demanded free art from someone and they didn't give it to him, so he cast that person into hell for all eternity? With you, one star. I was really excited to pick up a slice for National Cheese Pizza Day today, and unfortunately, I experienced an awful customer service experience. I was turned away for being 30 cents short on one cheese slice of pizza. 30 cents.
Starting point is 00:03:11 That's only 7% of the total cost. As an alternative, I told them I was a food blogger on Instagram and I would post a slice on my page. Mind you, I have over 10,000 followers, and restaurants frequently ask me to come in and try their pizza for free in exchange for a post. When the cashier returned from speaking with her manager, she said no discount. It's a shame they couldn't see the value in what I had to offer, and it was disappointing, because now they've forever lost a potential customer. I'm never going back to try their pizza.
Starting point is 00:03:46 It's not worth it. Why would they be sad about losing a customer who's too broke to afford their food? And on top of that, some influencer she must be if she can't even afford a single slice of cheese pizza. Tinder profile, I'm a 29 year old straight man. Fat girls and black girls to the back of the line. If you're belly jiggles when you walk, you're disgusting and nobody wants a fat, lazy, overweight out of shape, Hershey fed sweat hog next to them on the bed.
Starting point is 00:04:18 If your mouth is gross, buy. If you don't have a job or you're a child and play video games all the time, see ya. If you have kids, that's a no-go. If you're a giant and orpelt like a man, get screwed. Real women only. 5 foot 10, Jim and I. Man, dating is so much easier when they show you all your red flags before you even get on the first date.
Starting point is 00:04:42 And also, how dumb'd you have to be to say fat girls and black girls to the back of the line on social media? This is the internet, so that's out there probably forever. On this next post, O.P.'s friend is an artist and his friend sends him this text message. Get ready for this BS. My work asked me if I could paint three huge murals for the house. Of course I said, hell yeah, I'm down. So today I asked my manager how she wanted to handle paying me, and she legit looked at me like I was being unreasonable. She clearly hadn't thought that I would be doing it for free, right? Like what? Did she expect me to just come in during my free time to paint three giant walls for free?
Starting point is 00:05:26 They're gonna take ages as well. I think that she thinks that it's just gonna take a couple of hours per wall or something. She legit called me cheeky and said that she'll have to talk to the owner about it. Bruh, the audacity! I'm asking for minimum wage for a job that should cost a lot more. And she made me feel like I was the one being unreasonable. Bruh! A 41-year-old unemployed Oxford graduate has sued his parents in a bid to force him to
Starting point is 00:05:53 grant him financial support for life. The man identified as Faiz Zidiqui claimed that he's entirely dependent on his wealthy parents who are based in Dubai. He further claimed that without money from his mom and dad, his human rights would be violated. So to all my lady listeners out there, if you're on a date with a guy and you ask him what he does for a living and he says, well, I don't really work, I just sue my mom and daddy and force him to give me an allowance.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Would you consider that a deal breaker? On this next post, OP opened a brand new art page on Facebook and this is the very first message they received. Hello. Hello. Are you interested in a commission? Do you do meditation sessions or know anyone that does? I have really bad anxiety. F you then. I hope you get COVID and die a slow, miserable death. Wow. I was trying to get a link to my friend's meditation page. Thanks again for messaging and have a wonderful day. F you, you're full of garbage.
Starting point is 00:06:54 You lying mother-affer. Otherwise you would have sent it by now. You're an effing lying scumbag. I really do hope you get COVID. I hope your life gets destroyed by it like thousands of other people. Spits on you. If you and block me, I don't want to see garbage on my news feed. I'm sorry for not being able to help you within 10 minutes. I'm not a crisis line. Please don't treat me as such. I'm an artist who does art commissions. Yeah, I know you effing idiots. Uh, am I really the idiot here, though?
Starting point is 00:07:27 You message an art page looking for guided meditation. Yeah, it doesn't hurt to ask. Someone can know anyone or not, and that's okay. You don't have to be rude, pussy chick, pussy, pussy, asshole, and ignore my question. And then the Choosing Becker Blocked OP. The funny thing about this post is that he's actually right. This guy does have some serious anxiety problems.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Though to be fair, I don't think meditation is going to help this guy much. This episode is brought to you by Intel.

On this next post, OP had his Disney Plus account hacked and then sold online, and then OP gets this email. Good day. This message might be a bit strange. You don't even know me, but I have a request. I recently bought a piece of your Disney Plus account. Let's say a profile at AliExpress. The password was such and such. Everything worked fine for a few
Starting point is 00:09:56 days. Now something has changed and I can't log in anymore. The seller on AliExpress doesn't reply. Since he's got my money, he'll never respond again. Could you be so kind to provide me with the new password? I hope that you'll help me. Best regards, Sean. And then down in the comments, we have a post from Rocky Mull that sums us up pretty well. Hi, excuse me, but I used to enter your house and eat from your fridge until something really strange happened. I tried to open the door and it was locked. Would you be so kind that it's not locked anymore?
Starting point is 00:10:35 I really enjoyed eating your banana bread. On this next post, OP is a girl who's trying to sell a base guitar for 100 bucks online. Hey, do you still want the bass guitar? Heck yeah! I want the bass AND you! Let's get some coffee or something. I'm taken, but thankfully the bass isn't. I'd be more than happy to sell you the bass and grab some coffee though.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Ah, sweet. I won't tell winky bass. I can give you an awesome massage. Not relevant. Do you want the base? Maybe. Do you have an only fans page? Look man, I'm just trying to sell my base. I'm not interested. And if you keep this up, you're getting blocked and you're not getting the base. Would you like the base or not? Cut at the F out. I'll give you $20 for the base. Selling 12 core Mac Pro with 48 gigabytes of RAM the F out. I'll give you $20 for the base.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Selling 12 core Mac Pro with 48GB of RAM for 500 bucks. I'd like to buy your Mac computer for $125. Well, no. Huh? But it's outdated. If you change your mind, let me know. How much would you really take? $500 and go find another dual CPU model for less.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Stop it! Give me a realistic number that you would actually take. $500, dude. There isn't another dual CPU for less than $800 on the market. I'm pricing it low to move it quickly. I'm trying to work with you here. I'll do $300. Lowell, no, you're not.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Do some research. Let me know when your budget increases. Yes, I am. We're at a $200 difference. You can work with it. I'm supposed to take a $200 loss because some dude on Off-Rub can increase his budget. I'll make you a deal. You find another dual CPU with these specs for $300 and I'll consider it. It's not a loss. You're already selling it for less than market. I need you to decrease your budget. I have cash ready. Life is all about negotiations.
Starting point is 00:12:33 It's not a defeat on your side if you accept less than what you posted it for. Yeah, $500 is less than market, but it's as low as I'm willing to go. I could ask even more for it, but I'm trying to get rid of it quickly. If you think that you're the only interested party, you're mistaken, buddy. Go find 200 bucks more and we'll talk. Stop it! I'm trying to work with you here. Nobody ever said that I'm the only interested party. They obviously offered you less than your $500 price. Otherwise, it'd be gone, right? Think about it man, it's not that bad. You get cash and you move on. Clearly you need what I have since there aren't
Starting point is 00:13:11 many like it around and there aren't any price near mine. I don't have to accept less just because you don't think it's worth that much. I vast twice for a number that you would actually take other than the inflated $500 price. I actually have someone meeting me tomorrow around lunch to pick it up and another one I get off work if they pass on it. If you wanted today, it's $500. And dude, inflated F off, it's worth what it's worth. I'm sorry your tiny budget can't afford it. Go buy someone else's computer.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Oh, so you're having a mill down. There's no need to get mad about it. I offer to price and you're flipping out about it. Get a grip. Lull, I'm fine. I'm just more amused that you keep going on about it. Let's do some business. Dude, nobody tells someone to f off if they're a normal person.
Starting point is 00:14:00 At this point, I'm here offering you advice which is worth way more than $500. You should be paying me. Dude, all I did was offer a prize and you're flipping out over it. I'm not even angry, I'm still trying to do business and get a realistic number. You basically melted down into a puddle of effing mush. Get a grip, regroup and let's figure this out. How about we meet in the middle? You're at 500, I'm at 300. So let's do 400. We shake hands and call it a deal.
Starting point is 00:14:32 I am not haggling with you. You wanted it's 500 bucks. Take it or leave it. You're only not willing to haggle because you're gonna take it as a personal defeat. Sad stuff, man. Lowl, I'm not willing to haggle because it's already well under market value. And I've got two other people who want it. I'm in no rush. I'm not desperate for money, but I want what it's worth. $400 and it's a deal. Tonight.
Starting point is 00:14:58 No deal. Good luck hunting. Ah, personal defeat. It's not like that. No, we're done here. Good luck. I hope you get help, man. Honestly, I've never seen someone flip out this hard. I don't know if you noticed, but at one point this guy said that OP was selling the computer at below market value. Then, a couple of lines later, he said that OP was selling the computer
Starting point is 00:15:21 at an inflated price. So, which is it? Is the computer underpriced or overpriced? On this next post, OP is a published author. Hi, I've looked at some download sites about your book, but I can't find anything. I've looked on ePub and PDF alike. I hope I'm not being too forward, but do you know any more sites where I can find one? Thanks. Hi, are you talking about somewhere you can download it for free? My book is sold as an ebook everywhere the books are found. Yeah, I can't find a free download link.
Starting point is 00:15:55 I'm not really into online purchases. Well, no, I'm not going to help you steal my book. Not only is this choosing Beger to cheap to just buy the book, but they're also too lazy to just go to the library. Hi, are these available? Hi, yes, they're all available to buy. Would you send me one for free and I'll promote you on my TikTok? I've got 100,000 followers and you would get loads of people buying.
Starting point is 00:16:23 I don't send public relations packages, sorry. words and you would get loads of people buying. episodes. Also be sure to follow this podcast because I put out new Reddit podcast episodes every single day.
