rSlash - r/Choosingbeggars I Got An Iphone 11 For X-Mas... I HATE MY FAMILY!

Episode Date: January 16, 2021

r/Choosingbeggars It's January, which means Christmases all over the worlds have been ruined by mean, evil parents who refused to buy their parents an Xbox, and a PS5, and the newest iPhone. We even h...ave one poor, innocent child whose parents had the audacity to buy him an iPhone 11 instead of an iPhone 12. Shouldn't this be considered child abuse?

Starting point is 00:00:00 After review, the call on the ice is a whole new season of NHL action with Skip. Every order earns you a shot at winning one of over 200,000 prizes, including NHL Shop.ca and Skip Gift Cards, Skip Game Time Tires, and the Grand Prize, a trip for two to the 2024 Rogers NHL All-Star Game in Toronto. Order, shoot, win, with sk have PayPal, Cashop, and Cell. I'm hungry, and all my money is gone towards pets. And then a neighbor replies, I'm sure some might have some groceries to give you. Perhaps, but why wouldn't money suffice?
Starting point is 00:00:56 Why wouldn't food suffice, which is what you said you need? Well said, I'm more than happy to donate food in my pantry that I won't eat to those who need it. But if I simply went out and handed everyone cash who says they need it, I'm more than happy to donate food in my pantry that I won't eat to those who need it. But if I simply went out and handed everyone cash who says they need it, I'd be broke. There are charitable people who have money to spare. If you don't have money to spare, then the question doesn't pertain to you. I'm sorry for making you guys upset. If someone says they want money for food and then turns down officer-free food, does anyone
Starting point is 00:01:23 else just automatically assume that they really went money for drugs? This tweet was posted on December 25th, 2020 at 11.37 am, so probably right after Presence run wrapped. I really got an iPhone 11 Pro Max when the 12 is out? God, I hate my f'ing family so much! If I had a kid who did this, I would take the iPhone 11 back and tell them to buy the Rhone iPhone 12. Sailing 2008 to Dan for $4,000. I'll give you $950 right now. No questions asked. Take it or leave it. Every second you wait on this offer,
Starting point is 00:01:59 I drop the prize by $50. The balls in your court. Then three minutes later, OP replies, huh, so your offer is already at zero? No, still $950. Take it or leave it. Nope, I only had 20 seconds to respond. Shoot, guess I missed out. Is this choosing beggar giving anyone else to white-shrute vibes? Hello, I really like your content, and I was wondering
Starting point is 00:02:26 if you would be interested in a page shoutout. I would post one of your pictures onto my page and then tell people to follow you in the caption. I think your content suits the theme of my page well, and would therefore do very well on my page and gain you lots of followers. I hope you see the potential this has. With my following of 10,000 people, you're almost guaranteed to gain lots of followers, so please consider. I charge a feed post of $30 and I accept payment through PayPal. Hi choosing beggar, thanks for your offer, but I'd kindly ask you to f off of your expecting me to pay you to share my pictures.
Starting point is 00:03:02 I hope you'll still enjoy my content. Signed OP. And down in the comments we have this story from the same but better. My best friend paid his way through university doing photography. Food photography was a specialty. In the past, his work has appeared on boxes for farm foods, mores and an Iceland-ready meals, but he did other work as well. One such example was taking pictures for a specialist furniture manufacturer. He was wise to avoid getting ripped off and his contract made it very clear how they could use his photos. Basically, they could use it in their own advertising and marketing materials and
Starting point is 00:03:34 nowhere else. Also, they were obliged to send them a monthly report detailing where the images were used. Well, some design magazine wanted to feature the images and the furniture companies supplied them to them. And then they made the mistake of asking my friend to pay a fee to find out where the images have been used. His response was to tell them to carefully read clauses XYZ of the contract and realize why they now owe him close to $7,000. As for things I know Santa doesn't provide, we need a heavy duty couch with one removable cushion.
Starting point is 00:04:05 A rocking chair with high arms that folds away from the wall. A king-sized bid for extreme weight restrictions and a mattress that won't go bad in months. Our dream has been a temper-pityk bed, and last but not least, a space-saving Nordic track elliptical. These items I'll never be able to afford and never be able to convince Santa. So now I'm just praying for a miracle. You can win Moas, but it won't even touch the price. We'd love you guys who wish you could help.
Starting point is 00:04:35 I think we're just too far gone. Why has this grown adult talking about convincing Santa to get her presence? Surely by this point she knows that Santa isn't real, right? Hey, I saw your profile, you design YouTube profiles and all that. I really like your work and I have a job for you. My six year old granddaughter got a tablet for Christmas and wants to start a YouTube channel. I went a surprise with a cool layout.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Could you do that? Sure thing, I could absolutely do that. While I don't usually cater to that kind of clientele, I'm sure I'll be able to design something she'll be happy with. Are you okay with my pricing and payment options? It's in my bio. I just need to establish that before I get started on any work. That's fine by me. She likes roblox and Fortnite. So just try to make one like that and she'll be really happy, smiley face. Okay I'll try to get started on it soon.
Starting point is 00:05:27 I have COVID at the moment so it could be a few days or a week before I could show you any sort of preview because I'm sort of under the weather. You shouldn't have taken the commission if you knew you weren't going to be able to finish it. It's her birthday on Thursday, have it done by then. I apologize for the inconvenience ma'am. I have really bad symptoms at the moment, so I can't work right now. I might feel better tomorrow, but I can't guarantee I'll have it done
Starting point is 00:05:50 by Thursday. I see how it is. I have full screen caps of this conversation ready to send to the Federal Trade Commission. So you'd want to wise up quick before you scan me out of my ordered goods. It's fine if you don't want to go through with this. You haven't paid me anything yet, so you can't try to get me in trouble for undelivered goods, or whatever it is you're trying to attempt. Trust me, pal, I've worked in retail long enough to know the full range of the long arm of the law. If you can work at a discounted rate,
Starting point is 00:06:19 I might tolerate your tardiness. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, sorry, this story is really good. My old boss got rearranged and traffic on a major city freeway. The guys in the car asked for 200 bucks and they said they would forget about it. My boss replied, no way, you hit me! Okay, $100 they responded. How about 50?
Starting point is 00:06:41 When the police showed up, they were arrested for driving a stolen car. So let me get this straight. These idiots stole a car, gotten to a car wreck, and then instead of just running away, they stuck around so they could argue with the guy they had over a couple of hundred dollars. And then down in the comments, we have this sort of from the name of chef. My best friend was driving back from a party as a designated driver. The driver in front of him slammed her brace from the light of chef. My best friend was driving back from a party as a designated driver. The driver in front of him slammed her brace from the light turned yellow. Their bumper is barely touched. She saw a few drunk people in the car and thought she hit gold. She asked for a few
Starting point is 00:07:15 hundred euros for non-existent repairs or she would call the cops. My friend said, F, that! The cops arrived and the lady asked him to breathlyze the driver. She was shocked when he pulled to 0.0. Then the cops say, Miss, you'll have to be tested for alcohol, too. It's the law. She was so far above the limit they took her to the police station and had her car towed. Only a drunk person would be stupid enough to call the cops on someone for drunk driving when they themselves are drunk driving. At Salesforce, we're all about asking more of AI.

Starting point is 00:08:25 Please play responsibly. Our next Reddit post is from Newman. Years ago, I made plans with a girl I met on plenty of fish to go to a movie. I picked her up because she didn't have any money for gas and began driving to the theater at the nearby mall. She says she's really hungry and has an eatin' all day. I had dinner already since it was a late movie, and the plans were just to go to the movie but I said, okay, where do you want to go?
Starting point is 00:08:48 We were right next to a few restaurants, the closest being TGI Fridays. How about Fridays I asked? Okay, sure, she replies. We get in and I order an appetizer for myself and I told her to get whatever she wants. She scoffs and starts laughing lightly. I ask her what's funny. She says, I can't believe you took me to a Friday's on her first date. Absolutely did, serious.
Starting point is 00:09:11 My blood instantly boiled. I sat there making small talk while she ate. I paid the bill and we got back to the car. I drove her home immediately and she was so confused as to why I cut the date short. Smart call OP, I think you dodged a bull on that one. Yo, what's good? Want to be a designer for us? Is this a paid position or anything?
Starting point is 00:09:32 Bro, why do all designers say that? You sit there for like one to five hours on a piece of art and expect to be paid. Players sit there all day grinding clips and don't get paid. Yeah, the audacity. What kind of jerk face wants to get paid for their actual labor? Our next credit post is from its average. The company I worked for announced a while back that there won't be a Christmas party this year for obvious reasons. This is my first year with the company, but from what I've heard, the party is a pretty good time, so everyone was really disappointed.
Starting point is 00:10:04 At the event, each employee receives a gift card to a local mall or business. The amount varies, but it's typically an arrangement of $50. Nothing just needs that for sure. Anyway, it was announced that in lieu of a Christmas party, the company was going to provide a gift box for each of us to contain a turkey, some vegetables, a pie, and some other items to round out a nice Christmas dinner. Most of us thought this was a nice gesture, seeing as that would have been pretty easy to simply cancel the party, cite COVID as the reason and save a bunch of money. One coworker, the Choosing Beggar in
Starting point is 00:10:32 Question, was not happy with this. During our shift last Thursday, the manager phoned us up saying that our boxes were ready for pickup and that we could pack up early. The Choosing Beggar blew up, ranting on and on about how much of an insult this gift was, how it's beneath him, and how he wants a gift card or nothing. Keep in mind, this is a grown manned and there were people around. It was a real embarrassing sight. We tried to talk him down, but he continued to say how insulting and demeaning this was, and how he doesn't need a turkey. Well, fair enough, you're one guy and that's a lot of food. A coworker of ours, who's a real sweet young lady, but unfortunately not very well off, asked to peek a pick up his box and give it to her and
Starting point is 00:11:13 her family. The choosing beggar refused, saying that he wouldn't touch it on principle. The food bank was also out of the question. He even phoned the manager back to tell him what he had just told us. The manager was rightfully pissed and sent him home for the day, telling him that by refusing to pick it up today, he was forfeiting everything and he couldn't backtrack later on. The choosing beggar agreed and stormed off, so the rest of us went off to pick up our meals. Also out of the four of us who were working that day, two of us had been forced to go to the food bank at least a couple of times in the past few years. So, listening to this guy go on and on about how a free meal wasn't good enough for him
Starting point is 00:11:49 had us rather angry, especially considering the state of the world right now. Back to the story, we showed up at the shop and the gift box blew our expectations out of the water. The gift box had a 22-pound turkey, bags of vegetables, an apple pie, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce. All locally grown and handmade, complete with a baking tray, meat thermometer, and instructions on how to prep and cook everything. And for a little icing on the cake, tucked into the corner of each box was the $50 gift card that Choosing Beggar was ranting on and on about.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Choosing Beggar's gift box, complete with a gift card, and end up going to the food bank after all. Oh, stories like this just warm my heart. I would literally pay money to see this guy's face when he found out what was actually in that gift box. Selling PlayStation 4. Is this still available? Yes, it's available. I'll pay $225. No thank you. Lowest? $290.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Really not wanting to take anything less than $300. I'll do $250 if you bring it to my job. Everybody else is asking $250 for theirs, but I like yours better. Just think you'd be giving my kids a present man that should soften your heart man. No thank you. It's corona time and things are hard brother. I hear that man. Man $40 is not gonna make or break you. Not trying to be rude but I could say the exact same things you know. Thanks for looking but again no thank you. Then the choosing beggar sends OP a bunch of pictures of what looks like jackets and ugly boots. Do you know anybody
Starting point is 00:13:30 doing some last minute shopping? Let me know. How much? Outfits are $80, boots are $100. Would you take $40? I know of all people you ain't talking. I've given parents outfits for free. I can't even count how many times. But my blessings are not coming from you. $40 shouldn't make or break you. Times have been tough, you know? Well, well, well. How the turntables turned. Warning, if you went bad service and overpriced food, this is the place for you. The rewards program is a joke. Plus, they charge you 50 cents per credit card transaction without telling you. This is why corporations take over mom and pop stores, lack of customer service.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Response from the owner. Choosing beggar, you came in at least three times a week for months with no complaints. You received free cheese and jalapenos each time and never had an issue when we didn't offer a reward program at all. It was only after we decided to give something back as a reward to customers that it wasn't good enough for you anymore and you became extremely rude to a particular employee. Lots of places don't give any reward at all. I'm sorry that any type of reward wasn't good enough for you.
Starting point is 00:14:44 And as for the cash discount program, it's posted on both the door and the register where you pay. Selling Magic Refiner Keyboard for $1,500 Mexican dollars, which is about $80 US dollars. Hi, I love this keyboard. I would love to tell my friends about the month Facebook and Instagram. If I tell my friends about the keyboard, can you send it to me for free? Let me know, sign choosing Becker. Down in the comments, Mystic YoYo says exactly what I was thinking.
