I'm sure we're all familiar with the phrase "beggars can't be choosers." But it feels like some people out there want to do the begging and the choosing. Like, they want something for nothing.
Freelancers, artists and people selling things online of any kind can all relate to the experiences in this list. Some people have the nerve to think they deserve hard work for free.
It's so funny how there are a lot of moms (and parents/grandparents in general) who actually think that artists and sellers online would fall for this. Talk about being entitled.
Imagine asking somebody how to watch their show for free, all because it's on a platform you don't want to pay for. That's especially bold. And shameless.
Looking at this is causing me physical pain.
You might think that there's no way people like this exist. But if you've ever worked in the service/retail industry, you know all too well that not only do these people exist, but they usually end up getting their way.
It's actually baffling how many people out there think like this. Artists deserve to be paid for the jobs they do, even if they live with their parents. Like, why was that even a point they tried to bring up?
Ah yes, nothing like giving somebody money to do work for them, all so you can reclaim some partially rotted wood. Like, I wouldn't even do that if the wood was free. What is this person thinking?
Here's a tip: whether you have a million followers, or 10k, or five, don't ask people to do things for you in exchange for publicity and no pay. That's just scammy.
Imagine being this dense. You don't go to someone and demand they lower their price because someone else is offering the same service for cheaper. You just go to the lower price or suck it up. Come on, people!
It's so funny how people will seriously expect to get free art because they see it as just a hobby, but won't do the art itself because it's too hard for them. Because that totally makes sense.
Have we had the wrong idea all along? Are workers supposed to pay to work? And employers get paid for workers to work?
Oh, wait. This person's just incredibly deluded. Got it.
Did you know that you can make art yourself? Like, if you don't want to pay an artist, you can just do it yourself. I know, what a crazy concept.
Oh man. The amount of entitlement in the last sentence is especially making my blood boil.
Yeah... highlights alone are easily twice that much at least (probably more, depending on how much hair you have). Asking for a cut and style on top of that... that's adding insult to injury.
This is probably the most frustrating thing I've ever read. Imagine asking to borrow ketchup (of all things), and then getting mad because it wasn't the brand you like.
Like, just go to the store?
I mean, that's pretty much just asking for a story for free. It's like asking a worker to stay for a full shift, but only paying them for one hour. Just doesn't seem right to me.
Sure, a free room is great and all. But if you're looking for a live-in nanny, you still have to actually pay them. Like, with money and stuff. It's really not that hard of a concept to grasp.
In summary: "I want someone to pay to live in my bathroom and sleep on an air mattress, but they can't have the mattress in there when I need to pee, and they also can't be out of the room when I'm home."
Uh... what?
This is probably the epitome of a choosy beggar. You're looking for something super expensive in a group where the whole point is to trade clothes for free? Yeah, good luck with that.
This entire post is a red flag, but does this guy not know how the interview process works? Jobs will interview people and decide whether or not they want to hire them. I know, what a concept.
I have a feeling there's a reason why this person hasn't found a job yet...
Imagine faking your own death because you didn't want to pay someone $15 for a drawing of yourself. This is on a whole new level of choosey beggar. It's almost impressive, but mostly just super irritating.
If you're looking for a used car for free, you literally can't afford to be choosey. No one out there is gonna give you a relatively new SUV with good mileage and fuel economy for free.
So let me get this straight. Somebody was kind enough to give this person a free Christmas tree, but then that person turned around and tried to get rid of it because it wasn't good enough? Oh yeah, makes total sense.
