It's kind of amazing how some people will feel entitled, since they're almost never in a position to act that way. There are a lot of people out there who want something for nothing. Too many, in fact.
They say that beggars can't be choosers. But according to the ChoosingBeggars subreddit, they're definitely going to try. And make everyone else miserable while they're at it.
Yeah, this is definitely suspicious. Having commissions that you can't use for a portfolio isn't uncommon, but for that price... it sounds like this person is trying to scam some poor freelancer out there.
I wonder if begging someone to give you a more expensive thing for less money has ever worked for anyone. If you want a program, or a product, or anything, you better pay what it's worth.
I love the way this person thinks that paying for an overpriced PlayStation is the same as trying to buy a house. I'd trade a PS5 in for a house any day of the week.
I don't know a lot about vineyards, but I'm pretty sure pruning one is the kind of work you'd pay someone money to do. And if you don't, maybe you should be doing it yourself.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but when you buy a thing from a store, that's usually the end of the transaction (unless they're also delivering it). Asking them to help you move... two full years after you got the thing... is beyond delusional.
I think my favorite part of the whole posting is the way it ends with "Only Serious people."
According to comments under the post on Reddit, it's more like $3-5 per hour. Which, to be honest, is still bad.
This is the textbook definition of wanting something for nothing. Like, it feels like this dude has no intention of paying OP at all.
Imagine making a conscious decision to go with a cheaper photographer without doing your research, and then blaming someone else when the pictures end up bad. The audacity of some people.
I shouldn't have to explain to anyone why stores don't let you return underwear. I shouldn't have to, and yet it looks like there are some people out there who genuinely don't understand why.
It's kind of weird to... beg somebody to be an affiliate of yours. It's usually the other way around, I feel. Such a strange exchange.
Okay, so they want a pet sitter to take care of a dog and... chickens and quail? And do the gardening? And they have to pay to be there? I hope no one took them up on the offer.
I mean, there are a lot of red flags here. Other than the paltry salary, "You see serving others as a privilege, not as demeaning" is really sticking out to me.
Imagine thinking anyone would dig just one of those trenches for $200, let alone the whole job. Do it yourself or learn how to pay properly.
Whether you're a student, or you've been working for 20 years, you shouldn't work for free. Unless you're doing actual volunteer work. But this... it's a job that someone isn't willing to pay for.
I know dogs are cute and all, but that alone isn't enough to want to look after one for basically free. If you really love that dog, you'll figure it out.
I don't know how much more worth someone's while a free dishwasher can be. But I guess some people can't be satisfied with literally free.
I think the funniest thing about this is that... there are other lakes in the world. Who knows why this person feels the urge to fish at this lake, though.
It's not enough asking for free stuff, but this mom also wants it delivered... for free? Could she not just, like, bring her kids with her to pick that stuff up? Like, if she really needs it that badly.
You know what you can always do? Buy more data. If you have enough money to pay for a vacation, you probably have enough for the extra charge on your cell bill. Just a thought.
I'm gonna level with you all right now. I straight up can't tell the difference between any ketchup brand. They all taste the same to me.
So this person's audacity over the brand is just baffling. Go buy some if you don't like what your neighbor has.
