Today's subreddit is R-Slash choosing beggars where a woman walks up into a stage during a live performance and argues with the singer. I'm looking for a room to rant. My aunt decided to kick me out because I couldn't pay her one month's rent due to me wanting to see a movie instead. She's rich and I need the money more than she does anyways. However, your home must be smoke-free. No partying, no loud music, no friends overlaid.

And my significant other should be allowed to live with me rent-free. I'll tolerate your pets along as they're groomed, but no pit bulls. I don't want to go there with you so don't waste your time. I'll pay $150 a month in rent and I'll split utilities. If you have a room that fits the description, please message me. Wait, a movie ticket is like what? 10 or 20 bucks or something? So, she got kicked out because she couldn't afford $10 in rent, but now she thinks she's only gonna have to pay $150 for her and her boyfriend? Fat chance. This choosing beggar is in for a very rude awakening.

I just read your Reddit, post, and please don't kill yourself. But if you do, could you donate me or left over money? I prefer at least $50, but I'll take $45 too. I just think you should donate your money to me so you aren't going to use it anymore. Hey, let's look on the bright side. At least this using Beggar's art at the conversation by saying that OP shouldn't kill himself.

So I guess there's that. Post it to answers.yahoo.com. Can you make a male babysitter pay child support? I'm a single mom going to college with my sister. We currently written a apartment together. A couple of weeks ago I asked my neighbor a trustworthy guy if he could watch the kids for two hours while I went to class and my sister wasn't home and he agreed. If he babysits and doesn't accept pay, can I sue him for child support because he took

on a fatherly role? I'm sure I can convince a court that he accepted a fatherly role. Lady, if you're looking for a guy to pay child support, then maybe look at, oh, I don't know, the real father? On this next post, OP makes this post on a public Facebook page. My baby is sick with COVID and I need to go pick up groceries. Can anyone come by and watch her? Just be aware you aren't being paid and sometimes the baby cries constantly at the throws up so you'll have to deal with that too. And then people in the group reply, huh I'm sorry but maybe ask a relative? Posting that in a group like this won't get you much help.

You need to rethink something if you're asking a bunch of people on Facebook to watch a baby with COVID and who's throwing up. I don't need to rethink anything, it's common courtesy to help someone. Alright, so obviously giving your baby a way to some random person you meet on Facebook is probably a bad idea. But can we also talk about the fact that if this lady is covered in COVID-infested baby vomit, then maybe she shouldn't be walking around a grocery store? Hey, Gurley! Blank just freaked out about your Facebook post on Harry Potter. Would you be willing to sell me a journal and necklace for a Christmas gift for her?

Where had work and she's telling us how crafty and talented you are? Oh how sweet, I would love to do a custom order. The journal is one of a kind so if I were to make another one the cover would be a bit different if you're okay with that. I have several covers you could choose from. That's fine, you choose. I know nothing about Harry Potter. She's so excited about the necklace. Things in advance. Awesome, I'll get started on them. The necklace would be about $10 and the journal would be about 30 bucks since they take a wall to make. Is that okay?

Absolutely fine. I'll pay you in cash. Buy the girl something cute. Perfect, I will. I finished the journal. Awesome, I love the blue. Glad you like it. The necklace will be done in a couple of days.

Ah, I keep forgetting to tell you that everything's finished. Perfect, how would you like me to pick them up? Total price? What about one night this week, Blink and drive me over and I'll just pick it up quick. The total is 40 bucks, I can probably drop them off sometime next week. I need to get groceries anyways and I love Walmart pick up. Perfect then, just let me know the date and time. Okay, we'll do. It'll probably be Wednesday.

Sounds good. I just showed the pictures to Blink just now and he knows that my daughter loves Harry Potter. But he doesn't think she'll ever wear the necklace and won't write in the journal. He doesn't think it's the right gift. Sorry. Choosing Beggar, these took days to make. You can't custom order something and then not pay. Oh my, I thought the set was made when she saw the picks of both of them.

She sent picks to me and they were made already when I saw them as well. I confirmed with you right here that it was a custom order. Really OP, you'll be able to sell it if you already sold one said, as you say. No, I didn't sell it, I made it as a gift for my niece. The journal's only sell when they're a custom order. It's one thing to say that you don't want it and a complete other issue when you're lying about not knowing it was a custom order. I made it very clear multiple times that I was making these items specifically for you.

Lying? I never mentioned custom order to you. I said I didn't want the order first and I never did lie about the custom order. It never even came into my conversation. For you to even say that I was lying, we're done texting. Have a nice holiday with family and friends. I was specifically making these items for you. That's called a custom order.

Go back and read the messages and explain to me how you didn't understand that these weren't already made. I confirmed the journal with you to make sure that you like the cover. I went on to tell you that I was still working on the necklace. All of our correspondence supports that I didn't already have these items made. I just absolutely don't understand how that wasn't clear, which is why I used the word lying. I'm sorry if that was too harsh. OP, you don't have to apologize. She knows that she was lying. She just used as an excuse to get out of paying you. Does anyone have a free, six cubic foot Samsung up and they don't need? I accidentally

broke the window of ours, and I feel that it's not our fault, but Samsung isn't giving us there a placement. Spoiler alert, it IS their fault. Do you take commissions? I do. My price is set at 5 pounds per 1000 words, up to 10,000 words, at which point it increases to 7.5 pounds per 1000 words. Are you interested?

I am, but not at that amount. Maybe 3 pounds per 5000 words, I, else in my IG and email. Wait, please tell me you're joking. What do you mean? For 5,000 words I normally charge 25 pounds, you're asking me to take 3 pounds. Yeah, it's not like it's your main job, right? I'm sorry, I'll be refusing your offer. If it was for a thousand words, I might consider going a bit lower.

So you're refusing my offer, but you posted about being poor. I might be posting about that, yeah, but I won't be lowering my charge. That would mean I have to lower it for everyone else too. It takes a lot of my time to write, proofread, check, and so forth. Have a nice day. Be word, I hope you starve to death. Okie dokie, have a nice day. Why do I love getting my holiday gifts at Chopper's Drug Mart, the PC Optimum Points? Perfume from Mom? Points for me. Gaming Council for the Kids? Points for me.

Chalkets for the Teachers? Oh yeah, Points for me. Shoppers. You should totally go. Exclusions of Lie. This episode is brought to you by Chambers Plan.

My mob just died and we need to set up a funeral so if you can, please donate since we don't have sufficient technology to set up a funeral online. It needs to be delivered for free and in addition to the free computer or phone, please donate some money. A few thousand would be nice. Here's my PayPal address.

And then someone replies, I can donate some money. I also have a phone left over from when I upgraded. Sorry, but we can't set up the funeral with a phone. I need a Dell Alienware 17-inch monitor because my father can't read small text to thank you for the money. Down in the comments we have this reply from shoebox landlord. My dad is getting surgery and the doctor is going to use a new machine to operate on him, but it needs to be powered by a PS5. So could someone please donate a PS5 to save my dad? Also, the machine would

work better if the PS5 has a sass-in-screened-bout-halla on dad. Also, the machine would work better if the PS5 has a sasson's creed about howl on it. Oh, and send some money too. A few thousand would be nice. Selling cheap PC from 2007 or 2008. Hi, I'm interested in the cheap PC. Is this still available?

Considering the specs are so outdated and aren't worth anything, would you pay me $80 cash to collect and take it away for you? I can pick it up first thing tomorrow morning. Cheers. This next post has a message received on eBay. I saw in your listing that you upgraded from an older Apple watch.

Why not instead of selling it give it to someone like me who wants it? Selling it is just greedy on your part. I am happy to take it off your hands and I'll pay a shipping fee of $7.50 which is more than reasonable. Please respond right away as I would like to watch by New Year's Eve. Funny you should mention New Year's Eve. I think your New Year's resolution should be to get yourself a job. Our next reddit post is from HMitch. This happened tonight at a gig that I was playing at, and it was one of the worst cases

of a choosing beggar I've ever witnessed. It was so rude, it was actually just pretty hilarious. So I'm playing a free gig put on by my local council. It's an outdoor amphitheater, so everyone can just come and enjoy two sets of free live music. Contacts. This is in Western Australia, so we have no crowd restrictions. In the second set, after a few songs, the singer says that if people like the music he has CDs.

One song later after we finish playing the tune, a woman comes up on the stage in front of the entire audience, which stops the concert and says, Where's my free CD? I'm going now. The singer was baffled and said, Why do you think it was free? Well, how much is it then? I usually sell them for ten bucks. I don't have ten dollars on me and I'm going now, so are you going to give me the free CD?

I'll think about it. You only have ten seconds because I'm leaving. Okay, bye. The best part is that the singer then announced on the microphone that this woman had stopped the concert because she wanted a free CD. And everyone in the audience basically laughed her out of the room. Was anyone else reminded from that one-scene in Robocop where it's like, give me your CD, you have 10 seconds to comply.

Giving a waste spray paint and glue for free. Hello, is this still available? Can I pick this up tomorrow? Hi, it's Pending Pickup today. I said I would come get it. Send me your address please. Someone else asked before you and that's Pending Pickup. So sorry. Dude, that's BS. I messaged you last night saying that I could pick it up this morning.

I can come pick it up right now. Help out someone who would use it. Dude, I had someone else message me last night and arranged for pickup today well before you message me. It's first come first serve. That's what I'm saying. If they're not gonna be around until this afternoon,

I'll come pick up the stuff right now. That's not how I operate, man. I told the first person that messaged me that it was theirs. If they don't pick it up by the time they say they will, then I'll move on. Enjoy that douchebag, you probably have a cheater for a wife. Have a great day and God bless. Reactions like this are so bizarre. Oh, so you called me a douchebag, and that case I'll definitely do you a favor now. And then down in the comments we have this story from None for Gretchen. I've recently sold my iPad a few days before Christmas.

I got tons of auto messages asking if it was still available. The first person to respond committed to paying in full and meeting me the next day. I didn't bother going through the remainder of the messages. Meetup was seamless and I updated the ad to sold and cleared all the messages from the messenger. Then I got an angry message from some mom. She had messaged me sometime the night before telling me to text her back at a phone number. I told her the iPad had been sold already.

She got so mad and went on about how she sent her phone number and I never texted, and she could have come by today and how I ruined Christmas blah blah blah. Selling standing dishwasher for 50 pounds. Hi, is this still available? Will you take 20 pounds? Hi, choosing beggar. Yeah, it's still available for pickup on Saturday the 23rd and January onwards. The price is currently 50 pounds. 20 pounds. As the listing says, the dishwasher is selling for 50 pounds. If this isn't an acceptable price for you, then I apologize and wish you all the best.

20 pounds and I collect now. Have a good day. Trust me, you'll come back to me and tell me to take it for 20 pounds. You will never sell it for 50 pounds. I gave you an offer now, so you better take it before I change my mind. I'll take my chances, thanks. Don't worry, I'll take it from you any time because I'll be the only one who's interested. I've had this advertisement on for less than a day and I've already had multiple people

express interest. I appreciate what you're saying, but with respect, I am not selling this dishwasher for 20 pounds. You will sell it when you give up on the price, which I'm sure about. Here, I'm not going to say another word, I'll stop sending you anything, I'll leave you to your mind and illusions. Dually noted, have a good day. Even if this choosing beggar is right and 20 pounds is a reasonable price for that dishwasher, I still wouldn't sell it to this choosing beggar because why would

you want someone that smug to win? On this next post, OP is a 16 year old who repair small engines. I can absolutely do this repair for you, but it would be very helpful if you supplied the blade for me. If you won, I can just sharpen the blade you already have. I charged 10 bucks an hour with a $20 minimum. An oil change is also 20 bucks. I do have the new blade already. I doubt the oil change in bladeswops should take more than an hour. I disagree with a minimum charge of double, especially by a minor. If you were paying rent or head of family to feed, I might think differently. Thank you for your honest reply. Good luck.

And good luck to you for finding a better deal. Godspeed. Down in the comments we have this reply from Josho. Next time I go for a job interview and I hear, the salary is 50k a year, I'll say, I have a wife and 10 kids. Oh, of course, then the salary will be $100,000 per year.
