Being nice is more likely to get you free/cheaper things. There was a thrift store near me and the guy who owned it and worked there had it open one day while I was hanging out by myself in town. I walked in and it was *trashed.* I helped the guy out with going through about half the building and talked with him a lot. Found out that he had been in the hospital and the 'friends' he asked to work at and man the store while he was in the hospital didn't really care and they trashed the place. They had apparently refused to help him out as well, and I was happy to hear he had dropped them as friends. After awhile, he had asked me if anything caught my eye and I had mentioned liking the fur hats he had (I thought they were faux/fake fur tbh, I hadn't touched them or gotten super close. They were real fur though, which maybe I should have realized with how nice they were.) He went over and grabbed the softest looking one and brought it over to me and asked how much I would be willing to pay for it. I said something like $10 and he told me it was free and gave it to me. I helped him close up the store and I haven't seen him since. The store hasn't been open anytime I've been in town again. The price tag on the hat said $36 and I still have it. It really is the softest fur thing I own and it's still my favourite fur I own :D!

The promise ring story pissed me off. "Only 70$!!!!" I was engaged to with a 30 dollar ring. 30 bucks. Engagement not promise, but you know what? I was fuckin ecstatic because it was my favorite stone (Lapiz Lazuli,) it fit perfectly despite not knowing my ring size, it was in a style that I absolutely adored and everyone and their mother thought the ring was gorgeous. The amount of confidence boosting compliments that I got felt incredible and I felt like..while it wasnt very expensive and he admitted that, the ring represented who i was as a person and I adored the amount of effort he put into getting it just right despite not having a lot of money to spend on it. Some people will never be grateful for anything, and it shows.
Mine is opal, for reasons; they're cheaper than diamonds, look better, I don't like diamonds, diamonds SHOULD COST about $20 a carat without monopoly and marketing and the misery of the diamond industry. Wife's was diamond until she lost it, now it's cz and no one knows.
@@gadgetsage yup, gold is actually rarer than diamonds because it is theorized that gold came from outer space via space debris and asteroids, which explains why we only find it near surface layers.

Just as a rule of thumb for EVERYONE not just choosing beggars, NOONE will pay for you if you're tagging along, you're expected to because YOU are the one that wants to come along, nobody likes moochy friends.

As awful as the story about the person looking for a free wedding photographer is, the person that agreed to do it for free is even worse. They made it clear they put no value on the time, effort, skill, or talent of the professional taking the photos, they defended their entitled position and called the people trying to help her understand rude. She's clearly an entitled monster. But what's worse than that is the enabler who taught her that her actions were acceptable and made sure she would NEVER learn her lesson. That's why we have such a ChoosingBeggar problem, because people enable them, reward them, or give into their tantrums. You have no one to blame but yourself if you choose to do that. And you're not only hurting yourself and hindering the growth of these stunted babies, you're hurting everyone around them who has to suffer because they choose to enable them.
I hope no one seriously would accept that because it’s such a terrible choice but it’s their own loss if they’re stupid enough to take it. I’d only accept it if I was gonna eat free food at the wedding, possibly steal some small stuff, and do the shittest job ever just to screw them over.
I can understand shooting your shot asking for something for free when you are in a tight situation but then actually getting mad when you don't get it is insane.
I went to Starbucks once and tried their cold brew. Hated it and said can I change this to an ice coffee I’ll pay for it. They were like nah don’t worry. Thats how you get stuff for free. You offer intending to pay and you’ll be surprised and if you’re sincere about it not just demanding and mean.
exactly. or you make a repoire with the people there. I was talking to a man at a thrift store once just chatting around and talking about knives and the area we were in. Finally I decided to buy one of the little knives - it wasn't expensive like 3 dollars and the guy just waved his hand at me 'keep it' I blinked. 'Are you sure?' "yep. it's been nice talking' can't tell you the amount of time a server or someone at a restaurant or somewhere would help to get a cheaper price on something or give me something a little extra or better. Got two different free *large pieces* of cake from one restaurant because the owner has come into my store for *years* and knows me. [I didn't even really want them lol I was trying to watch my diet at the time but I couldn't refuse lol].
Another way is to simply be a regular. If you regularly go to their business and know the staff well, they might offer you discounts that aren’t normally there and are usually more lenient with their prices.
@@redstonehero7944 that’s true. Going back over and over after a while if the person is a good person they’ll say this one’s on me. Or if you’re lucky and good looking haha not me you’ll get something free almost every time. Let’s face that fact if you’re a good looking person especially woman you’ll get a lot of things free definitely drinks if you do haha.
So I found something at a Target once that was marked for clearance, but no price. It was kind of a gag item, so not really important. At checkout, it wouldn't ring up at all. I had been talking with the checkout girl about random shit, and when this item wouldn't cooperate she looks at me and asks, "So, what would you pay for this?" I said "I don't know. $5?" She punches it in for $2 and puts it in my bag. Don't argue with people or haggle. Just be nice. I have known people who would have actually said TO A TARGET CASHIER that the item should be free if it wouldn't ring up. No Karen. That is not how it works.
@@lizzalkula376 Was working at a Subway and I had been having a rough day so I chose a way to make it better. Every one who was kind and fun to serve, I found a way to give a discount (as in, they talked to me and didn't give off bad vibes).
I was selling a brand new $60 mixer for $20. One person claimed they only had $10. If all she had was $10, what was she needing a mixer for? Free flour, sugar, milk and butter?
Its odd how with the chosing beggars around art the prices are actually pretty low.. 20$ for a full body coloured is cheap. My most expensive art piece I bought was around 400$ for a bust up xD then again that was at an auction and included the rights to make her a character. Least expensive like 5$ for a chibi sketch.
@Kayotime at the start I believe its usually whatever you're comfortable with, seeing you're starting off it can be harsh to put a high price to an art piece and have it sell good or have yourself be mentally okay with that. @Crima art (my dear friend) has been around for so long and built such a community that if she didn't put limits on her auctions it would've gone way higher howev that may not be what someone wants. So honestly pricing is something that's completely up to you and ofcourse whatever work you put into your art. Think it through, speak to people about it and grow from it. The choice you make now for that doesn't need to be permanent and can be changed at any time... (just keep in mind that when someone has paid... that's not the time to change things as thatd be scamming)
@@kingblanketforti never heard that, and was confused about this very part for a long time until i realized "i don't need to scroll! Timed comments exist" and filtered by Timed, and only today i learned
If I was selling something, I would definitely list it as "Price not negotiable", and if someone tried to haggle I would just raise the price and only respond with the raised prices.
re: the man working on christmas day, lots of people are confused on how many times they get a change of towels, but...in that case, given that they had a laundry he could've answered: "if you don't want tot do laundry on holiday, don't rent in a condo, get a hotel room, so you finally learn the difference!"

I remember getting hounded for a lower price on my art. I don't charge money, because I don't have a banking account set up yet (as I'm a teenager) to even receive money. I said this multiple times before they got the message. I spent a good three hours on a completely shaded pfp of their character (which had a fairly complex design) for their account, and when they posted it, they clowned and criticized my FREE artwork that I put a lot lf time into. They complained that the lighting wasn't like a friend of mine's, that my proportions were off (a part of my style, which they were aware of as they sent me a piece of mine to reference for a clothing piece they wanted their character to wear), and just straight up were being extremely rude. They then went to one of my friends and hounded them for free artwork, saying that since I draw for free and did such a bad job, that they should refund it. My friend is much more lucky than me and had her parents set up a bank account for her, so she charges money (a redo of MY piece would've costed CB around $35). After not getting their way, CB started harassing us both. And then we mass reported them and all their stuff was taken down. Happily ever after ^^ (This was on Quotev, where the moderation is actually good,)
As somebody who does do these things, it’s precisely because of these reactions. When people say “Aww, you didn’t have to do that for me!”, that’s why I do them. I’m bored, and giving someone a bit of joy in their lives isn’t going to hurt, is it? It’s usually not that much anyway, and the prime function of that is to make sure you remember them. People usually hang on to the bad memories, wishing for something else. If you provoke negative reactions, like guilt, people will hang on to those memories longer, and thus, remember me for longer.
As someone who volunteered at a food bank, the CB being mad there wasn't juice is a rare type of person. Most people are super kind and genuinely some of the best people i've met. So don't think everyone is like them. Also, they get a gallon or more every week thats supposed to last them a week or 2, so they probably already had juice.
As someone who grew up often having to rely on the foodbank and going with my mother to get food I agree about 90% of people being appreciative and not being choosy beggars but every single visit without fail there were ALWAYS at least 1-3 families that would cause huge scenes or yell and scream at workers demanding dam near everything that was available despite the rules about certain amount of proteins certain amount of grains like bread or rice etc. Most of the time this was families wearing expensive clothing and with new watches and phones. The amount of entitled beggars that waste all their money spoiling themselves on luxuries instead of buying food and then act like some hotshot that is owed the world at a foodbank was the definition of idiotic.
jesus christ, the one about the server and PC literally would've made me cry. $4000. Plus he said he bought it when he was only 17? I feel so bad for him oh my god
the story of the guy whos cousin was asking for a free "pc" made me so mad i literally wanted to scream. i am not even kidding. the fact that the kid even tried to steal it just makes it even worse. i just built a pc myself so i can fully understand the anger the dude must have had. if my family tried to steal my pc and ended up breaking it i would literally SUE.
They should have paid for the parts to repair! Though im not techy, i bet that cost a lot. That kid is so dam spoiled its insane! Bet even a kid could parent him better than that aunt.
Pff sounds like what my sister pulled with my grandma, asked her to pay for her college courses, grandma bought her the books she needed, rooming at an apartment, food tickets, transportation, everything for like four or five years of college, and then, when a Che k bounced and got sent to my sister instead of my grandma, she went and wasted it on partying and eating out with her friends My grandma was soooo passed, like angry enough to remove her from the will sort of passed. I'm glad though, it taught my sister some humility, she's never asked our grandma for money again.
The carpet one seems bad, but frankly, that's how I got this BEAUTIFUL faux hardwood flooring through almost my whole little house. Almost $800 worth of flooring for only $150.

I was watching the bit at 16:34 and I was absolutely shaking in anticipation to see if he said 3 weeks and I had an entire festival in my head to celebrate it when he did.
the skate board one is a whole saga, it's amazing. Edit. The ending is cut. If you have time and ability see it from begining to end. It ends in pure glory, I wish I could remember where I saw the story.
That one confused me. $40 is a good deal on a skateboard. My sister bought her boyfriend one that was just the board (you had to buy the wheels and stuff separate) for around $100.

I wish I still had Facebook so that I could get the conversations I had with the people trying to buy my old graphics cards from 6 years ago. Holy crap! Listed two different cards at or around $500 and got about 25-30 responses before one guy bought both of them. Everyone in the middle was a clown trying to get them for less than 20 dollars and some of those "negotiations" were pure gold. Here are 2 that I can remember that stood out 1.) Had one guy who fed me two different stories on both of the postings but he didn't realize that I was the same person selling both cards until I said the exact same unique thing in both of the chats within seconds of each other. At that point, I think he knew he was caught trying to dupe me cause he ghosted. 2.) Had a lady tell me that she was so excited about finding one of the cards that she got into a car accident and I should help her out with a low price (free) cause she didn't have car insurance. Let's just say, Facebook Marketplace was/is wild!
The worst is when they say, "I do the same job you're charging for too!" If that's true, then do it yourself. I do HVAC work, and all the family friends of friends that try to get me to repair their air conditioner for 20 dollars is insane. They act like im so lucky to get this offer, not like I work 60-70 hours a week at a reasonable rate.
That wedding 1 in Oklahoma got me rolling, I've lived in Oklahoma for more then half my life and while yes from time to time winters are decent most the time they are either cold as heck or completely psychotic and doomsday weather so weddings outside are ALWAYS a bad idea.
Man. I hate people that are like " You spend thousands of dollars on the camera equipment and I pay nothing. But, you get experience 🙂" or " WHY WOULD I PAY $10 FOR A STUPID PIECE OF ART THAT TOOK YOU HOURS OF TIME THAT YOU DON'T HAVE?!" It just angers me.
It's irritating as a photographer, I'll offer pro bono work when I know the person can't afford a photographer and use adding the pictures to my profile...however I'll usually charge $9-10k CAD for a wedding and reception plus my editing time. If someone is particularly nasty or begging for free work I'll show them the door.
I did a little math and for the post with the sister being in Dept and op giving them a decent job, there pay daily is 312.00 per day if the work 13 hours each day (if I'm right this is a full time job) and that will amount to 2184.00 each WEEK which is plenty to pay for rent and food with some money left with also flexible time from the job. . .
full time is 8 hours a day/ 40 hours a week, anything past that is paid 1.5x because it's overtime (she would probably only be allowed to work 8 a day). so it's less than your calculations but it's still an amazing job
21:43 Yeah, I don't agree with that censorship myself. They're just censoring "reach around," which is where you're behind someone (like with massage or butt seks) and you _reach around_ their body with your hands to kerfluffle their naughty bits. The censorship's not about the words themselves so much as the deed which they represent. 🤔

I hope no one seriously would accept that because it’s such a terrible choice but it’s their own loss if they’re stupid enough to take it. I’d only accept it if I was gonna eat free food at the wedding, possibly steal some small stuff, and do the shittest job ever just to screw them over.

I can understand shooting your shot asking for something for free when you are in a tight situation but then actually getting mad when you don't get it is insane.
I went to Starbucks once and tried their cold brew. Hated it and said can I change this to an ice coffee I’ll pay for it. They were like nah don’t worry. Thats how you get stuff for free. You offer intending to pay and you’ll be surprised and if you’re sincere about it not just demanding and mean.
exactly. or you make a repoire with the people there.
I was talking to a man at a thrift store once just chatting around and talking about knives and the area we were in.
Finally I decided to buy one of the little knives - it wasn't expensive like 3 dollars and the guy just waved his hand at me 'keep it' I blinked. 'Are you sure?'
"yep. it's been nice talking'
can't tell you the amount of time a server or someone at a restaurant or somewhere would help to get a cheaper price on something or give me something a little extra or better.
Got two different free *large pieces* of cake from one restaurant because the owner has come into my store for *years* and knows me. [I didn't even really want them lol I was trying to watch my diet at the time but I couldn't refuse lol].
Another way is to simply be a regular. If you regularly go to their business and know the staff well, they might offer you discounts that aren’t normally there and are usually more lenient with their prices.
@@redstonehero7944 that’s true. Going back over and over after a while if the person is a good person they’ll say this one’s on me. Or if you’re lucky and good looking haha not me you’ll get something free almost every time. Let’s face that fact if you’re a good looking person especially woman you’ll get a lot of things free definitely drinks if you do haha.
So I found something at a Target once that was marked for clearance, but no price. It was kind of a gag item, so not really important. At checkout, it wouldn't ring up at all. I had been talking with the checkout girl about random shit, and when this item wouldn't cooperate she looks at me and asks, "So, what would you pay for this?" I said "I don't know. $5?" She punches it in for $2 and puts it in my bag.
Don't argue with people or haggle. Just be nice. I have known people who would have actually said TO A TARGET CASHIER that the item should be free if it wouldn't ring up.
No Karen. That is not how it works.
@@lizzalkula376 Was working at a Subway and I had been having a rough day so I chose a way to make it better. Every one who was kind and fun to serve, I found a way to give a discount (as in, they talked to me and didn't give off bad vibes).
I was selling a brand new $60 mixer for $20. One person claimed they only had $10. If all she had was $10, what was she needing a mixer for? Free flour, sugar, milk and butter?
Its odd how with the chosing beggars around art the prices are actually pretty low.. 20$ for a full body coloured is cheap.
My most expensive art piece I bought was around 400$ for a bust up xD then again that was at an auction and included the rights to make her a character.
Least expensive like 5$ for a chibi sketch.
I absolutely love how I found you here Tessi by randonly scrolling through comments and chuckled cause am guessing the auction bust is.. Marilyn? 👀❤
@@crimaart hahaha hey love!!
Hmmmm maybe 😉 absolutely worth itttt!!
@Kayotime just get an opinion from friends or just price them on how much time they take you
@Kayotime at the start I believe its usually whatever you're comfortable with, seeing you're starting off it can be harsh to put a high price to an art piece and have it sell good or have yourself be mentally okay with that.
@Crima art (my dear friend) has been around for so long and built such a community that if she didn't put limits on her auctions it would've gone way higher howev that may not be what someone wants.
So honestly pricing is something that's completely up to you and ofcourse whatever work you put into your art.
Think it through, speak to people about it and grow from it. The choice you make now for that doesn't need to be permanent and can be changed at any time... (just keep in mind that when someone has paid... that's not the time to change things as thatd be scamming)
What’s stopping someone from just stealing your $400 character and making it their own? It’s not like you have any legal recourse.

@@zestynathanielbcousin9015 it probably makes us feel better about our selves too when we accidently inconvenience someone doing a job 😂
Agreed. But the fact remains I eventually have to take a break from these. These selfish people stories can give me headaches sometimes.
I remember getting hounded for a lower price on my art.
I don't charge money, because I don't have a banking account set up yet (as I'm a teenager) to even receive money. I said this multiple times before they got the message. I spent a good three hours on a completely shaded pfp of their character (which had a fairly complex design) for their account, and when they posted it, they clowned and criticized my FREE artwork that I put a lot lf time into. They complained that the lighting wasn't like a friend of mine's, that my proportions were off (a part of my style, which they were aware of as they sent me a piece of mine to reference for a clothing piece they wanted their character to wear), and just straight up were being extremely rude.
They then went to one of my friends and hounded them for free artwork, saying that since I draw for free and did such a bad job, that they should refund it. My friend is much more lucky than me and had her parents set up a bank account for her, so she charges money (a redo of MY piece would've costed CB around $35). After not getting their way, CB started harassing us both. And then we mass reported them and all their stuff was taken down. Happily ever after ^^
(This was on Quotev, where the moderation is actually good,)
I'd balk at the Tiffany ring too.. that's a ton for someone to spend on me, and I'd feel bad they did that for me and absolutely cherish it.
_same_ though. Like, you didn't have to do that
yeah I'd probably but another promise ring for him too or do a bunch of nice things for him to make up for it
As somebody who does do these things, it’s precisely because of these reactions. When people say “Aww, you didn’t have to do that for me!”, that’s why I do them. I’m bored, and giving someone a bit of joy in their lives isn’t going to hurt, is it? It’s usually not that much anyway, and the prime function of that is to make sure you remember them. People usually hang on to the bad memories, wishing for something else. If you provoke negative reactions, like guilt, people will hang on to those memories longer, and thus, remember me for longer.
As someone who volunteered at a food bank, the CB being mad there wasn't juice is a rare type of person. Most people are super kind and genuinely some of the best people i've met. So don't think everyone is like them.
Also, they get a gallon or more every week thats supposed to last them a week or 2, so they probably already had juice.
As someone who grew up often having to rely on the foodbank and going with my mother to get food I agree about 90% of people being appreciative and not being choosy beggars but every single visit without fail there were ALWAYS at least 1-3 families that would cause huge scenes or yell and scream at workers demanding dam near everything that was available despite the rules about certain amount of proteins certain amount of grains like bread or rice etc. Most of the time this was families wearing expensive clothing and with new watches and phones. The amount of entitled beggars that waste all their money spoiling themselves on luxuries instead of buying food and then act like some hotshot that is owed the world at a foodbank was the definition of idiotic.
jesus christ, the one about the server and PC literally would've made me cry. $4000. Plus he said he bought it when he was only 17? I feel so bad for him oh my god

That goddamn kid deserves a good spanking, i'm so mad he didn't suffer the consequences for breaking something worth 4 THOUSAND DOLLARS
the story of the guy whos cousin was asking for a free "pc" made me so mad i literally wanted to scream. i am not even kidding. the fact that the kid even tried to steal it just makes it even worse. i just built a pc myself so i can fully understand the anger the dude must have had. if my family tried to steal my pc and ended up breaking it i would literally SUE.
Fully agree!
They should have paid for the parts to repair! Though im not techy, i bet that cost a lot. That kid is so dam spoiled its insane! Bet even a kid could parent him better than that aunt.

Ah my favorite subreddit for 1 hour, heaven on earth
Pff sounds like what my sister pulled with my grandma, asked her to pay for her college courses, grandma bought her the books she needed, rooming at an apartment, food tickets, transportation, everything for like four or five years of college, and then, when a Che k bounced and got sent to my sister instead of my grandma, she went and wasted it on partying and eating out with her friends
My grandma was soooo passed, like angry enough to remove her from the will sort of passed. I'm glad though, it taught my sister some humility, she's never asked our grandma for money again.
The carpet one seems bad, but frankly, that's how I got this BEAUTIFUL faux hardwood flooring through almost my whole little house. Almost $800 worth of flooring for only $150.

Wood flooring I understand a lot of people reuse old wood. Carpets though...
Faux aaahhh I love them.
Laminate flooring is easy to pull up and reuse though. Used carpet is essentially worthless.

0:55 "He won't be suing you, but we will"
I wish I still had Facebook so that I could get the conversations I had with the people trying to buy my old graphics cards from 6 years ago. Holy crap! Listed two different cards at or around $500 and got about 25-30 responses before one guy bought both of them. Everyone in the middle was a clown trying to get them for less than 20 dollars and some of those "negotiations" were pure gold. Here are 2 that I can remember that stood out
1.) Had one guy who fed me two different stories on both of the postings but he didn't realize that I was the same person selling both cards until I said the exact same unique thing in both of the chats within seconds of each other. At that point, I think he knew he was caught trying to dupe me cause he ghosted.
2.) Had a lady tell me that she was so excited about finding one of the cards that she got into a car accident and I should help her out with a low price (free) cause she didn't have car insurance.
Let's just say, Facebook Marketplace was/is wild!
The worst is when they say, "I do the same job you're charging for too!" If that's true, then do it yourself.
I do HVAC work, and all the family friends of friends that try to get me to repair their air conditioner for 20 dollars is insane. They act like im so lucky to get this offer, not like I work 60-70 hours a week at a reasonable rate.

That wedding 1 in Oklahoma got me rolling, I've lived in Oklahoma for more then half my life and while yes from time to time winters are decent most the time they are either cold as heck or completely psychotic and doomsday weather so weddings outside are ALWAYS a bad idea.

What beggars expect when they call you selfish: OMG SO SO SO SORRY I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU FOR FREE WITH EVERY ITEM IN MY STOCK!
I just tell these kinds of people "yeah I'm a selfish spoiled little princess and you can't have it. Whatcha gonna do about it?"
I did a little math and for the post with the sister being in Dept and op giving them a decent job, there pay daily is 312.00 per day if the work 13 hours each day (if I'm right this is a full time job) and that will amount to 2184.00 each WEEK which is plenty to pay for rent and food with some money left with also flexible time from the job. . .
full time is 8 hours a day/ 40 hours a week, anything past that is paid 1.5x because it's overtime (she would probably only be allowed to work 8 a day). so it's less than your calculations but it's still an amazing job
