Starting point is 00:00:32 Today's subreddit is R-Slash using beggars where someone expects OP to pay his rent for a full year. On this next post, a bride sends this to the photographer she hired to photo her wedding day. Looking over my wedding day, five hours will not be enough to cover the entire pictures that I'd want. We, unfortunately, cannot stretch our budget for photographs anymore. My husband and I wanted to ask if you guys would be willing to stay in additional three hours for full coverage the day of. Hi, you said you had your Nintendo Switch for sale? Huh? Blank said you were selling it. Oh, no, it's not for sale.
Starting point is 00:01:11 When will it be for sale? Huh, I'm not selling it. Why not? You're a grown-up. Come on, those switches are made for kids. I'm sorry. I said they're made for kids. Don't you have any hobbies or something?
Starting point is 00:01:26 I'll give you $350 for it and that's it. My little brother went to one, sell it to me or I'll call the police. Good luck with that. I have a good day. On this next post, OP is selling a gecko. I've researched so much. Will you take $25 for everything? I'll get it ASAP.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Uh, no thank you. I'll take $45 for everything if you can answer some questions about taking care of the animal. I can, but I'm not interested anymore. Lol, okay, thanks. I hate rude people. Watch your effing mouth next time and maybe you won't lose a sail because I would have paid full price more on
Starting point is 00:02:06 Learn manners Man saying that he would pay full price is such a weak argument If you were willing to pay full price then why didn't you? On this next post OP is telling something and a choosing becker tries to hikele down the price But OP says no thanks, But it's not worth $80. Look, we all need money, fair enough, but it's worth less. I googled it. Buy one from Google then.
Starting point is 00:02:33 With the added tax now applied, no thanks. Look, I don't even have a TV. Can't we compromise? I can do 70 bucks and that's with delivery. 65. I can do 65 bucks and that's with delivery. 65. I can do 65 if you come and collect it. I can't. I have a package coming.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Where are you? I'm on the road between Blank and Blank. That's not even in Blank. Can't you just drive to me for $65? It's really not that far driving. Well, if it's not that far, then come and collect it. I'm reporting you on Facebook for trying to scan people with your garbage laptop. It is not worth the price you set. Go get an F-ing job! My babysitter is going back to her normal job on the first. So, I'll be
Starting point is 00:03:19 needing a sitter to come to my house and babysit from 10pm to 9am 6 to 7 days a week. $25 a day is my pay. You have access to my netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus and some cable. You'll need to start my toddler on her head start class until I get home. Serious in Korea only, I have a four month old and a three year old. This lady is paying 25 bucks a day for overnight babysitting. So as near as I can gather, what this lady is actually saying is she's looking for a homeless person who wants to sleep with her kids for $2 an hour. Lady, are you sure about that?
Starting point is 00:04:01 Hi, is this blank? Yes, how can I help you? Yes, so I saw your ad for the PlayStation 2 and I was wondering if you would lower the price a bit since the warranty is void. The price is 70 bucks with more than 100 games, 2 controllers and 2 memory cards. I can drop it to 65 bucks, but no lower than that. It's a bit much since the warranty is void. I'll give you $15 if you ship it tomorrow, and I think that's fair. Dude, do you realize that this is a PlayStation 2? It's like 15 years old
Starting point is 00:04:33 in a near-perfect condition for its age. So I'll drop it to 60 bucks and that's it. Oh, so it's old AF and you're asking 60 bucks? Be realistic, it's not worth that man, I'll give you $10 and I'm being generous. No thanks, if you want a new one go to the store. Otherwise quit wasting my time in yours please. Man, F you dude, you broke loser can't afford the new one. That's why you mad, lol, take the $10 and SDF you. Man, I gotta say, 60 bucks for for 100 PS2 games is an absolute steal. Even without the added PS2 controllers and memory cards, with backwards compatibility and
Starting point is 00:05:14 less than 1 buck per game, most PS5 owners would jump at that deal. On this next post, OP is selling a $300 bed frame for only $200. I'll pay $50 for the bid frame. I bet you would. LMAO, if you can't tell it for that heinous price, you know where to find me. So, somewhere with your mattress on the floor, I'm sure. That was effing rude. I live in a house but hole.
Starting point is 00:05:41 I'm just always looking for a good bargain. Man, what always gets me about these choosing beggars is the complete lack of self-awareness. This choosing beggar comes in really strong, undercutting the price, laughing at the price and calling it heinous. Then when OP replies with a snarky joke, they get upset and say that was effing rude. That's what I just don't get. Like, you were rude first. Do these people genuinely not understand that? Good afternoon.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Is this still available? Yes, they are. Just to confirm, these are not wireless, but plug in via Lightning Connector. Okay, can you donate them and drop them off in a city where I live 30 minutes away? I get that the funny thing about this post is the choosing
Starting point is 00:06:25 beggars entitlement, but I can't stop thinking about Bud Plug with a lightning connector. That sounds dangerous. I keep imagining someone plugging that in their butt, then it gets hit by lightning, and they light up like a light bulb.

See fly for details Our next reddit post is from Randall Boomer. This is a story about my sister-in-law and her useless boyfriend. My sister-in-law is my wife's sister
Starting point is 00:07:31 and is a terrific person. Her useless boyfriend is decidedly not. In regards to our slash using Beggar's content, he's the gift that keeps on giving, like Climidia. In April of 2020, having lost their jobs to do COVID, they moved in with us rent-free until they got back on their feet. We're happy to have my sister-in-law.
Starting point is 00:07:49 She's been absolutely terrific. Pitching in around the house, spending time with the family, and being my wife's best friend. This is decidedly not true of the useless boyfriend. He locks himself in the room playing video games all day long. He complains about the food, only recently agreed to chip in for higher speed internet, which he kept demanding that we pay for, and otherwise makes it clear how much of an imposition it is for him to live at our home rent free.
Starting point is 00:08:18 My sister-in-law was finally able to get a full-time job last month. Their finances are still a mess, but things are improving, and she said they'd move out in the spring. Honestly, we're all going to miss her. As for her useless boyfriend, the best thing I can say is, I don't care if the door hits him on the way out or not. Just so long as he's on the other side of it. Our oldest son is 23 and moved about 30 minutes away back in the fall of 2019 so we could be close to his work. Thankfully, he's remained employed full time despite COVID. In the fall of 2020, he renewed his lease for one year for a nice but small studio apartment.
Starting point is 00:08:56 A really fantastic job opportunity arose for our son. He's moving much further away, which is sad. But it's a great opportunity and we're happy for him. The largest problem for him is his lease, which still has 10 months to go. He spoke to his landlord, who's a good guy. The landlord said that, normally, he'd be willing to let our son out of the lease, but with COVID, he has several tenants who haven't paid rent for a while. And he can't afford another apartment that generating no income.
Starting point is 00:09:24 The landlord agreed that he would let our son out of the lease the moment he could rent the apartment to someone else, but the market has been really slow and he didn't know how long that would take. I don't blame the landlord a bit, he was being fair. Looking to exit the lease sooner, our son suggested that my sister-in-law and her useless boyfriend move in. He would move out February 1st, but pay for February and March. Then, they would pick up the rent in April. boyfriend move in. He would move out February 1st, but pay for February and March. Then
Starting point is 00:09:45 they would pick up the rent in April. This would give them two more months to get their finances in order, and my son would only be out of two months rent. And as an added bonus, it's closer to my sister-in-law's job and would cut 10 minutes off for daily commute. Everyone's happy, right? Everyone except for useless boyfriend that is. Looking at the apartment, he complained that it was too small. He complained that they had to pay for food and utilities. You know, those things he enjoys for free because my wife and I are paying for them now. He complained that he'd have to set up his computer in the living room instead of the bedroom. Then he dropped this little nugget. The useless boyfriend said to my son, with utilities it's gonna be even higher.
Starting point is 00:10:27 You should pay all of our rent. We're doing you a favor. My son assumed that he'd misheard him and restated his offer. He was gonna pay rent for February and March and they'd assume payments in April. Nope, not good enough. To useless boyfriend's way of thinking, our son should pay their rent for the remainder of the lease. That's all 10 months and let them live their rent free.
Starting point is 00:10:52 My sister-in-law was mortified at her boyfriend for trying to take advantage of our son, her nephew in that way. After months and months of listening to him complain about his suffering while others paid for everything, she finally had enough. She said, Boyfriend, I like this place so I'm moving in, but you're not. When we get home, you're packing your stuff and I'm driving you to your mothers. No more free rides were done.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Our son called with a happy news while they drove home. Instead of 30 minutes, they took an hour to get home and we were a little concerned. We called and she confirmed that everything was okay. So we assembled the movie and boxed his form so we could start packing right away. Why postpone the party? He walked in the door to find everything he needed to pack up. Apparently on their ride back, Usas boyfriend was whining and complaining about their breakup. They stopped to talk for a bit at which point he said something. My sister-in-law won't say what. And it creeped her out. She asked me to drive him to his mother's which I was more than happy to do. We drove the hour-long trip to his mother's place without speaking. I helped him carry his stuff to the porch. Then out of politeness,
Starting point is 00:12:01 I extended my hand to him and wished him luck. He stared at me and didn't say a word. There was no, things for letting me live with you for free for almost a year. Or tell my girlfriend that I'm sorry. He just stared like the petulant child that he is. My sister-in-law is doing really well. We're going to miss her moving away, and especially our son moving quite a distance away. But, useless boyfriend, we'll miss him about as much as we will last week's recycling. At least the recycling can be turned into something useful. My sister and law has put Yusas boyfriend in the rearview mirror. Her ex-boyfriend did call her to apologize
Starting point is 00:12:40 and try to make things better. I didn't hear the conversation, but he apparently said all the wrong things. Because she was only madder by the time she hung up on him. He hasn't called her texted her since. Well, I think it's fitting that OP drove the uses boyfriend to his mother's place. Because by the sound of things, that's what he wants. He doesn't need a girlfriend, he needs a mommy to pay for all of his things. Selling the Legend of Zelda links Awakening for $40. Hi, is this still available? Can you do $30, please? Yeah, it's available.
Starting point is 00:13:12 I can do $35, but it's pick up only. Friend, this is for a child from Venezuela who asked me to buy it. Please make it $30, it's not for me, it's for a child. It's a noble favor for a child who's been saving time to buy games for his Nintendo. Please. Sorry, buddy, but 35 bucks is more than fair considering what comparable items are going for. Where it's going or who it's going to doesn't involve me. You don't have to say that.
Starting point is 00:13:41 You have to have empathy in life. Good deeds are returned to you. Anyway, I'll give the child your best off for unless you know if I can buy it. I haven't said anything out of line. And honestly, at this point, I don't think I want to meet up with you for an exchange. Best of luck to you and your friend. You are rat with good manners. And as Zelda game as well, don't forget that. I don't even ignore people like you. Have a great day, but I have a game to play. Down in the comments, Ditchticker Girls says exactly what I was thinking. Since you're
Starting point is 00:14:14 a better person than me, you should contribute the extra $5 so the child can have it. It's selfish to ask strangers to donate to your friends so you don't have to. Yeah, exactly. If this guy thinks that good deeds come back to you, then why doesn't he pay an extra $5 so that that good deed will come back to him? And even more than that, who honestly believes there's actually a kid in Venezuela? I went to the UPS website to see how much it cost to ship a 1-pound box from America to Venezuela and it comes out to 152 bucks. So, something tells me this kid is not buying the Zelda game.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Is the price negotiable? Sorry, I'm from on the price. Come on man, the last one I looked at was open. I shined a UV light on it and there were crusty splash marks of organic nature all over the controller in the front of the console. Sorry, I already have a potential buyer at my price anyways. It is used, I'm not saying it isn't. Though, maybe it has a total of around 10 hours on it. Good luck, you fratge a little snowflake.
Starting point is 00:15:19 My dad says only poofs use Xbox One anyway. I guess I'll look for a PS5. I get it. Life is confusing when you're 12 years old. Right. No insult hits quite as hard as those that begin with, my Dad says. This kid has probably been called a fragile snowflake before. Probably by his own pops.
Starting point is 00:15:40 On this next post, OP edits videos for a big YouTuber and he gets this message Hey, would you be able to edit some of my videos for the appropriate amount? Um, amount of what? Sorry. A amount of money? I only do paid work. Yep, well, how much can you do it for? 25 bucks per video. I mean like a short 5 minute video and just trimming crops, no special effects. 10 bucks. For how many?
Starting point is 00:16:07 Per video, of course. LMFAO forget it. Who the heck would do that? $10 per video for a 3 minute job. And that's the lowest you can go. Huh? If you have an issue with your keyboard, that's fine. Yeah, I'm busy and I have other gigs. Good luck working with your keyboard, that's fine. Yeah, I'm busy, and I have other gigs.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Good luck working with your scammer! That's probably how you get funds to pay you. Well, thanks for the karma. You're welcome! So, as a YouTuber myself, I can offer some context here. For a typical 10 minute YouTube video, it's very reasonable to expect that video will cost more than $100 to edit. You might be able to go lower if you find workers overseas or if the video has very, very simple edits, but yeah, $25 bucks for a video is a crazy deal.
