Well done

this is THE way to deal with those freeloaders

daily would be better

Perfect

Slim, but not zero

This is the correct response.

Exactly! My tax adviser can do my taxes in 20 minutes and have it done perfectly. Someone asked me why I pay him so much for 20 minutes of work, and I told them he can do it in 20 minutes because he'd been doing it for decades. I'd probably spend hours and still make mistakes.

Really. You compensate someone with money.

wheres the aloe vera - cos u just got burned

Sadly, I know someone (friend of a friend) who does something similar. Her husband has a really high paying job in a local manufacturing facility, he's been there for decades so he's the top tier of pay. He has the new car, she keeps the old car, she wears old clothes and then goes around to the food banks and brings home grocery bags full of food and think she's really smart for getting free groceries. She justifies it because twice a year the plant has a shutdown for 2 weeks, I believe the employees are even compensated for the time that they're not there, but she tells everyone that her husband's out of work. Technically it's true he's not working. But that's the lie that she uses to justify why she can rob the food banks 52 weeks a year. I'm sorry to say that I'm not sorry that this lady recently passed away.

I actually had to tell a potential customer this the other day. It took me years to learn how to make a particular item, I sell them for $100, other people sell something similar for $500, this person's asking if I'll sell it for 10 because it's expensive. I said no, and suggested that they take a screenshot of the item, print it, and put the picture in their collection until they can afford to purchase it for real. (And if that sounds like I'm being sarcastic I'm not because that's what I used to do with my collections, print out photos of the items I was missing and just put the photos in my display case until I could afford to get the real thing)

They use "single mother" so much, I question if they are even single ... or even have kids

Ha ha! Etiquette especially applies to family, because family members labour under the assumption that they can say anything, everytime and whenever they want to whomever they want in the family.

What a baby man child. Blocked you because he didn't get his way lol

Tim Vine: I saw an advert for a free TV that was stuck on full volume. I thought: I can't turn that down!

Perfect response!

Exactly

It wouldn't be so bad if people were offering a labor trade. There's a couple of local tradesmen in my area-one is a plumber, the other an HVAC. The owners both own their own homes and at least one rental property each. They do work on each other's properties for free.

This just makes me laugh and then know not to take them seriously. I went to Disney World during the holidays and was in a Disney Collector group for my city on fb. Saw a lady asking for someone to pick up this large plushie. I didn't check any bags so space was limited but I contacted her I can pick it up for price+taxes+small fee. She was very nice and really happy. Got home and got super sick, couldn't unpack. I told her I'll leave the plush outside my door and she put money under mat cause I was too sick to interact. After, she messaged me about a spot on the plush. No idea if it was on there before or after. It wasn't bad, easily washed. She demanded money back, how I ruined Christmas, blah blah. She even tried to compare illnesses? I don't know, she flipped. I told her I wasn't a personal shopper (I said this many times while planning tge pick up) or business, I'm not refunding money. It was the most crazy situation. Never going to offer to do that again.

Power makes people feel important. But in reality we're all the same species.

"Thanks for the advice. I'm so happy with my plastic computer!"

As a drawing amateur this made me laugh 😆

I think you'll find that the artist works under the pseudonym of 'One Dollar', and their actual name is 'U.S Treasury'.

Feels like there are a bunch of LeighA's in the comments, here. lol

The audacity...

Todays society is all about wanting everything for nothing.

50 purse cent🤣🤣

I draw for free, you just buy what I have drawn if you like it.

Excellent. These tourists beggars or not have caused so many problems for Bali.

I do like that final 'offer' - increased price 'cos you messed me around

Ok. THAT is excellent. 😄

What is this? Inverse psychology?

Lol

"Actuelly the wrost" Grate speling mayt

Tip for you don't be an árse.

She received so much and has so little gratitude.

posting content about an 11 yr-old's sleepover?!?

As a vocalist, I FEEL this. If you want someone to sing for free at your event, ask aunt Lydia or your friend's thirteen year old aspiring diva. They'd love the exposure. But, if you want professional musicians, you need to be willing to compensate them for their time—and not just the time they spend at your gig! When you hire a professional, you're paying for the thousands upon thousands of hours and dollars they spent learning how to perform at a high level, and you're probably getting a better deal than us! Most of us are so obsessed with music that, if we could perform for free and not starve, we absolutely would. Alas, we would starve and I'd rather not do that.

Only proves the first statement was a lie to begin with. NO ONE that has a loved one fighting C will wish that upon someone else. ( a small voice far back in my mind just wanna run over the beggar for this. I won't but the voice is there )

50 hours a week for $100. That's $2 an hour!

Let’s absolutely normalise raising prices if people try to haggle to a ridiculous degree.

So many red flags it could be a theme park

Wow. Just . . . wow.

On the fence. I cant figure out if she doesnt want to pay or just doesnt want to pay amazon.

Hahaha okay, the grey blob's reply was pretty good though

... as a Pagan, I find this disgusting. Not a real Pagan for expecting a fee for a service? No, no. Does not matter the spirituality, that beggar is a crappy human being.

Why does "influencer" so often translate as "wannabe entitled beggar with attitude" ?

I guess "It scalated quickly" is an understatement here.
