Today's subreddit is R-Slash Choosing Beggars. I would like to buy your Jack the Lens Power Reducer for $115. Would you sell it for $25? Sure, but there's a $90 pick-up fee. Haha, okay, fatty. Fatty. LMAO, I don't even have a picture on my profile. You have a fat personality.

Fat personality is such an odd comeback, I'd almost be tempted to let them have it. Hi, is this available? Yes. Can you do a better offer? I can pick it up now. What's your offer? 500 cash now. Well, that's like half the asking price, so no. Yeah, I see, but that's all I have on me. I'm a serious buyer. Okay, then make a serious offer. It's not my problem if you don't have the money. That's all I have, bro. I'm a student.

Okay, that's still not my problem. I'm a student too. Yeah, we gotta help each other. $550? My boyfriend proposed wrong. He's in the Air Force and he proposed to me in front of an airplane. I was so embarrassed because that's pathetic.

I asked him nicely if he can propose to me somewhere normal like on the beach. He said he was extremely sorry and he'll propose to me better next week. I'm so embarrassed. Anyone else have any embarrassing proposal stories to make me feel better? Well, buddy, you've got one week to figure out that you've made a terrible mistake. Good luck. This next post is from a Tinder profile. Hey, here are my non-negotiable deal-breakers, so don't swipe right if you.

Are short, less than 5'11. Live with your parents, or have within the last 5 years. Have roommates, have never been out of the country. Don't go on two or more vacations a year. Watch mixed martial arts or boxing, like anime. Don't have a clean home. Work less than 30 hours a week. We'll need to work past the age of 65.

Have ever cheated. Have kids. Have a cat or cats. Don't love Mexican food. Our awkward in-person do not take initiative. So I think I'm getting an idea of why this lady is 35 years old and single. Though maybe somewhere out there there's a 5 foot 10 millionaire who's totally bummed that he didn't meet the criteria. A woman in line at Costco, totally nonchalantly, tried to return his Christmas tree because it's dead on January 4th. I saw the whole thing go

down with my own two eyes about 30 minutes ago. If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe that someone had so little moral values or lack of conscience. So obviously this woman is just trying to scam Costco and get a free tree. But assuming she's serious, did she honestly think she was gonna stick this thing in its living room, it would sprout roots and become a fully grown tree in her house? I need to say something and I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings. I understand better than anyone how much the closing of bars and restaurants is affecting our bank accounts and bills. But if you're sitting home applying for unemployment and whining how you're so screwed, you deserve to lose everything. Grow the F up, get off your lazy butt, go stock shelves at a grocery store, do construction, work fast food, deliver

with Uber. Nothing in life is free. Stop expecting epping handouts and make things happen. End of rant. So the Choosing Beggar posted that on Facebook, and then less than 24 hours later, Choosing Beggar created a fundraiser. A lot of people are in the same boat, so I don't want to sound like I'm worse off. However, with the stock market crash, my nest egg has been decimated. And now, my main source of income has been shut down for 30 days by Florida's governor.

I believe closed mouths don't get fed, and it never hurts to try something like this. I still work part-time at Subway and I'm trying day labor, but my bills I've stupidly accumulated far outweigh my income at this point. Just trying to stay afloat for this month without losing anything I've worked so hard to achieve. Crying emoji. If I were replying to this person's post, I think I would just copy their first post and paste it as a reply to their second post. Yo, what you will unleash the house for? It's a single that can be converted into a double if you have two signers.

As a single, you would have a kitchen, living room, and bedroom. Both the living room and bedroom have separate full bathrooms. If renting it yourself, it's 1,250 a month. If you and another signer both sign, it's 810 dollars each a month. I have no control over the prices, it's solely up to the blank house. Yeah, you control the prices, LMAO. It's your sublet, no. No, it's my lease.

Yeah, that's what I mean. You're trying to sublet it out to me, you can control the prices on that. The house is owned by a corporation. They don't allow sublets. So you're trying to sublet your room to me or you work for the printing house. I'm trying to resign my lease over to someone else. Yeah, so you can lower the prices on it and you'd have to cover the rest. I'm not looking to sublet.

Release sublet, same concept, dude. A Sublet is a release. I'm looking for someone to fully transfer the lease into their own name and the full financial responsibility of the apartment. Yeah, you're gonna have to agree to pay a portion of the lease then. Man, this guy is thick. And even if he wasn't so dumb, does this ever work? Like, just demanding that someone else pays for part of your rent, so why would that ever work? Hello, I was wondering if the cello case was still available? Hello, yes, the cello case is still available. I'm assuming you're interested in buying it?

Yes, I was wondering if you would sell it to me for $10. I'm sorry, I guess I don't understand. The listing says I'm selling the case for $10. I'm sorry, I guess I don't understand. The listings says I'm selling the case for $300. Don't you think that's too much for a stupid cello case? You're not even including the instrument. Unfortunately, I bought this case at the beginning of the year for $400. It's an amazingly durable case and definitely good for advanced and pro players. Yes, maybe 300 seems a bit high,

but I don't think I would go below 250. It has some custom hardware, including locks that is definitely contributing factor to the high price. I could definitely give you good and cheap recommendations for cello cases, those just sometimes aren't as protective. Then why are you even selling it? Also, I would never take some cheap case. My daughter needs the very best. I'll

give you $50. I'm sorry, but times right now aren't doing well for me due to the fact that I'm a full-time musician during the pandemic. I've also just been trying to get rid of the clutter for my apartment. I received the same case with a few differences from family a few weeks after I bought this one. I've only used this case two times, so it's incredibly lightly used. I'm sorry, but I don't think my case is the one for you. Also, please note that this case is a full size. I don't know how old your daughter is, but this may be a little big for her. I'm sorry, and I wish you luck in your search for a good cello case.

Wait, can you tell me the other one? Is there some sort of special feature on it? My daughter needs it. I'm a single mother with three kids. She just finished her grade, and I promise her I would reward her. I'll give you $100 for the other one. Please let me know when I can pick it up. I'm sorry, and I can understand being tight on money. I just graduated from music school. Unfortunately, I will not sell you my other case, nor the listed case. Tell your daughter that I wish her good luck. Please, I'll give you $175 if you give me the case and a cello. Ma'am, I'm sorry, I'm not selling to you. Even if I did, the size would be way too big. I would recommend probably a one-half size, but it depends on her height.

I'm sorry, goodbye. No, we are getting the case. Take it or leave it. I'll leave it, thanks. You beward, f you. You can't even play. You're all a fraud, and you're going to be homeless and die alone you B word, then I'll spit on your grave.

This is like an R-slash choosing beggars and R-slash entitled Parents Crossover episode. This lady is legit wishing that someone would die because they won't offer her a 95% discount on something. Whole Trenfrew is sharing joy for the holidays with gifts for everyone on your list, and maybe 5% discount on something. Whatever presence you pick, we know they're going to love them. Visit a store today or shop at HoltRenfrew.com Enjoy the classic taste of the holidays at Tim's with the new non-alcoholic Bailey's flavored holiday menu.

On this next post, OPs family is giving away free scrap metal and then he gets a message

from this lady. Is the scrap metal still available? Hi there, yes it is. We've got lots. Feel free to stop by any time before 6.00 to pick some out. Great, thank you. No problem. I noticed in the photo there was a truck that held some of the scrap metal. Is that yours?

Ah, yeah, that's our old 79 F-150. Part of the deal? No, sorry. It's still a good working reliable truck. No need to scrap it. It's just helping us all stuff. Okay, I live over on Orient, not even a five-minute drive from your location. I'll be home around 5.30 if you're able to drop off the metal for me. Oh, I'm so sorry, I think we had a misunderstanding. The scrap metal is pickup only. When I said we're using the truck to haul stuff, I meant haul stuff out to our storage unit where we're giving the metal away. Again, if you're interested, you can come by anytime before 6. If that doesn't work for you, we're going to be back here tomorrow on Saturday. Just let me know. Why not just drop off the pieces on the back of the truck to me?

I'm 5 minutes away. I don't have a truck to haul. I'm sorry. We're just not able to do that. You can come over and pick pieces that will fit in whatever size vehicle you have, though. I'm sure we have some that'll fit all sizes. I just don't understand why you can't bring it to us. Such and such

number on Oregon Street is our address. Okay fine. I spoke to my husband and will come pick up. We need five or ten dollars for gas to get to you. We have PayPal if that works for you. Five or ten dollars for gas when she's only five minutes away. Unless this lady's driving around in a fricking tank, this is full of BS. Hey, I see you do art. Yeah, I do. I spend a lot of time on it. I want you to draw my character. Okay, sure, send it over. And then, the choosing begger sends a picture of a mostly naked character. I'm sorry. I don't feel comfortable drawing that wall.

What? You said you could do it. Hello, you're online. I'm sorry, I was in the bathroom. I don't feel comfortable doing the art. Maybe you could ask someone else? No, I like your style. I'm flattered, but as I said, I'm not comfortable drawing that. And it wouldn't be that good because I'm not good at anatomy. Also, I'm a minor.

I don't care, you need to draw it. Look, I'm trying to be polite, but if you keep on pressuring me, I'll have no choice but to block you. What? If you went business, you wouldn't dare block me. Okay, I'm blocking you now. So I don't know too much about the laws in this situation, but forcing a minor to draw pictures of naked people feels like it should be illegal somehow, right?

At the very least, it's super creepy. Giving away a free cannon printer. This was given to us free of charge. We never got around to setting it up. It's free, pick up. If I come to get it so far away, it'll cost $30 petrol. Can you pay that, please? Man, posts like this are so weird. People don't give things away on Facebook because they're desperate to get it out of their house. They're

giving it away because they want to do something nice. Why would anyone pay $30 to have someone take their printer away when they could just throw it in the trash and walk it out to the curb? For this next post, OP offers free motion and graphic design work as a side gig. Then, after doing a free job for a client, this choosing becker wants another 5 hours of free work. Thanks for that. Also, make me a logo, lower thirds and outro. I can, but it won't be free.

I only offer one option to free clients. Eh, for you, I hope you die, you selfish prick. My sister is in critical condition and in the hospital. Give it to me for free. I'm sorry to hear that. Why are you asking me for design work when your sister is in the hospital? None of your business, go to hell! I'm giving you a bad rating, I hope your business dies.

You're such a beaver that you won't give it to a dying friend. Since when was I your friend? I'm reporting you. Have fun being viral on Reddit. Well, not just Reddit, YouTube as well.
