I have a group of relatives in my extended family who never thank anyone for their gifts. So every time they fail to thank me, the budget I set aside for their gifts halves. It started off in the low 3 figures, and is now $6. They are so close to getting macaroni art for Christmas, and I don't give a crap because they're all awful. 😂
This former seamstress/historic costumer who spent much of her career dealing with people who thought I should work for them either for free or for less than starvation wages (just like their Grandma used to do!), heartily approves of this content. 😊
Me too! I costumed a large play with $500 for materials, though I still ended up using some of my own stuff. However, I insisted that I retained everything in storage. They had to come to me to use the costumes each time they wanted to mount the production, pay me a nominal fee and give me costuming credit.
My family ticked me off at Christmas, so NONE of them get gifts anymore. I used to buy gifts for everyone, and not cheap ones. I know it sounds selfish, but what'd i get? A... A gag gift, four fricking years in a row. Seven brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews galore, parents, in laws, everybody got a gift from me. I know its a time of giving, but it kind of hurts to see everyone else with a stack of presents around them and im sitting there with a t-shirt with such an offensive message on it, it can only be used as a rag. Oh, and some mockery on the side for being divorced. So, yeah, dude who didnt buy a gift for the baby shower you werent invited to... I'm on your side. Others want you to give and give and give, then all they give back is shit. Bah humbug and all that! Rant complete. I hope y'all aint going through what i am. Thanks for reading this far.
I know what you mean! I used to spend Christmas with wealthy relatives. It was a struggle buying things for people who already had everything -- and somehow I always got less in return, even though they all had a lot more $$ than I have. Finally, I decided I wouldn't go anymore. I spend Christmas alone, I *buy myself* something nice that I've always wanted, and I'm MUCH happier this way.
My family is like that. One year they decided to play something called Dirty Santa and the only time i've ever got anything nice from them, then someone stole my gift. It was a nice shelf system for a garage that i really needed and to make it worse, the family member that took it never even used it. It sat in their garage unopened in the box for 3 years. I also like to plan christmas gifts throughout the year. If i find something a family member likes I buy it and each person gets a box with things I found them throughout the year. I enjoy doing it but like you, i am often left confused and a little hurt while everyone is raving about their gifts I got them but I'm sitting there with some crappy tumbler that turns out doesn't keep water cold and the lid leaks.
I have told everyone I know in the last 4 years no more gift giving or gift getting for this reason. I'm 62 and done with all the rabid frenzy that has become Christmas.
Man, my heart is breaking for all of you. This is terrible! I agree that maybe going forward you go out & get something you want for yourselves. The one about the stolen gift that’s been sitting in the garage for 3 years is particularly heinous IMO.

Had a new client try to talk me down on his dog’s estimate for surgery. Said he was on a fixed income. I googled his address. $4 million dollar home . Right. It’s always the new clients. I was short staffed anyway so referred him to the specialist instead. I knew I would either not be paid or if anything went wrong he would sue. I just couldn’t handle the stress I’m too old for this.
I'm a State Pensioner here in South Agrica, on an income of R2,200 per month and I make a South African sweet delicacy called a milktarr (shortcrust pastry with vanilla custard) as a side hustle. I sell mostly to glampers down at the several riverside csmpsites near where I live. I wanted to put my price up from R70 to R80 but felt shy about it. Anyway, one day the lady who has the garden where I have my caravan and whose family own three of the campsites came back from one of the xampsites with a REALLY BEAUTIFUL empty vodka bottle. Just out of interest I checked the price out at the booze store next time I was in town. Almost R500 for 750mls... That did it for me... Stopped being shy.
Indeed, yes and also freshly pressed orange juice is much better than stuff in a plastic bottle or a pack. And the whole fruit is even better than juice healthwards - fiber, etc. … and more expensive, again, than bottled up processed juice that usually has extra sweeteners/sugar added, and whatnot. A pack of fresh oranges is a real treat.
I was stunned. How stupid is she? She listed everything she got from the Food Bank and then had the utter gall to complain because no juice?? She got a TURKEY FFS. Those things are like gold these days ..the price!! Geez just eat the damn oranges. They're better for you anyway
OMG. At 13:25, for the food bank turkey dinner. "I want to know where all that money & food went?" There are lots more families needing assistance, that's where it went. Not to mention that is a bigger spread than many people who are not getting it for free will be having on their tables. Fortunately I am able to afford food for myself but even so I would be thrilled if someone gave me that to make a nice holiday meal for my family, that is amazing. What audacity people have.The only thing that would have made this complaint more ridiculous is asking for a private chef to come cook it for them.
Years ago I was single, raising my kids alone, going to university and also working. It was a real struggle physically and financially but i never asked for any holiday assistance. One year around thanksgiving, someone knocked on our door and gave us a big bushel basket with an entire Thanksgiving meal in it, including the biggest turkey i'd ever seen. The people left and my kids and i were just beside ourselves wondering how we had been given such a wonderful thing! We were all talking excitedly about what a great meal we were going to have when the doorbell rang. The people who had given us the basket were now at the door apologizing profusely because they had delivered it to us by mistake and they had to take it to the true recipients. You know, i could have got upset about that but I didn't. It would have been great if we could have kept that food but obviously someone else's family was worse off than we were. My kids handled it beautifully as well. I still think of that sometimes and chuckle...
Years ago, when my kids were little the company I worked for was sold and everyone was laid off right before the holidays. What we got from our local food bank was so much less than she had pictured. We were grateful we had anything for the holiday and sure did not complain about juice.
Yeah, Emily Post backed the hell out and does not care! Even Miss Manners says, "Do you." Okay, Miss Manners would have suggested a very proper way to say 'eff right off, sis."
I wasn’t invited to a wedding but I was expected to go to the hen night and bring gifts…luckily for me I was laid up in bed with sciatica and couldn’t go anyway. Years later I was sat down the beach and watched her husband walking hand in hand with another woman. He saw me watching. I did not tell anyone. Months later I heard she had divorced him, remarried and eventually emigrated to Australia. 🤷♀️
That's hilarious! Sciatica being a blessing to avoid a hen party is HARD CORE! LoL...I have sciatica, child birth pain is the closest i can come to describing it...
They're entitled, and have been brought up to mistakenly believe they're the center of the entire universe, and if they just demand things, they'll get those things. They've never been taught any different way.
Had to look "Whilst begpacking may sound like a made-up term, it is actually defined in the dictionary and in 2017 the Urban Dictionary defined the term as ‘backpackers busking or begging to fund their travel’." It's a way for first-world middle class travelers to extract tourist dollars from foreign lands.
1:18 my mom was a school-bus driver & saw one of these "need help god bless" beggars at the traffic light - she stopped the bus & offered to help the man get a job at her church - he cursed at her like a sailor and demanded money - she mentioned the incident to me (home on leave from the military), and i picked up the phone - the next day when that same guy unfolded his "god bless" sign, he was flanked by two very large kids from the local high-school wrestling team who were carrying signs that said "this guy cursed a sunday-school teacher" and "he's a con man, dont give him money"
When I had a sawmill business, people would always ask if I would give them a discount on my rates. I would inform them that my monthly payment was around a thousand dollars a month but if they could convince the people I was buying my sawmill from to take less then sure - I would give them a discount!
The choosy beggars are the very reason I give my makings away. People will pay $1000 for a Bloomingdales sweater made in China on a machine but not for one of my custom made hand knit ones - why? I make lovely things and fortunately do not need to sell them. It would be a great side hustle but the hassle with clueless people is not worth it. Besides my family & friends are quite happy with the arrangement:)
I’m someone that will spend $$$ for a handmade something over store bought any day of the week. I make soaps, lotions, etc. and I can knit and crochet (basic stuff anyway), and rebuild a car or a bathroom… but that’s exactly why I’m an advocate for small businesses. Many cannot appreciate what makers do though.
4:16 I guarantee if the poster put a sign on the TV saying it’s in great working condition, someone would have picked it up from the dumpster. I put decent and not so decent stuff on the curb all the time, even when I know it’s not getting picked up as bulk garbage. Someone always took it. Save yourself the grief and just put it out there.
Considering how old many of these posts are, it's now more because of socmed than anything else. We're far more aware of those things we never used to be exposed to, most unfortunately.
I occasionally run into people who are sheepish about charging for what they do. I tell them "I'm a government contractor. You better believe you're not getting my professional services for free."
How about my Sociopathic niece, whose credit is tanked because of numerous bankruptcies, who saw an ad from a car dealership saying, "If we can't sell you a car, we'll fix yours for FREE!" She held their feet to the fire. I wonder how reliable their repair job was?
My sister started doing cakes as a side profession, she got bloody good at it too - the restaurant we had my mothers birthday at with one of her cakes wanted to know who made it as it was amazing. She gave up making them a few months later because folks thought them expensive compared to the supermarket cakes, sometimes I just smh at the ignorance of people in general.
$200 for two tattoos? Mine were nearly $800, were free-handed by a real artist, and were worth every penny and then some. Unless you're cheap, don't put cheap shit on your body.
It was actually done fast. That’s a helluva lot of sandwiches. I’d never expect them that fast. Half the time (when I remember), I say thanks for cooking/making it for me, just for a regular order. Someone is making my food so I don’t have to, or is shopping for me, I say stfu y’all ingrates, and say thanks instead. Or make it, shop it yourself.
These people are not only entitled but they’re insufferable. I used to do pinstriping and lettering on cars, trucks, motorcycles and whatever else, the requests that I got for doing free work was unbelievable! People would come up at car shows and request that I do their cars for exposure was the most stupidest reason for doing the work. I told them to go kick rocks and that I didn’t need the exposure. They always came back with the threat that I would never get anymore work for turning them down and yet here I am 50 years later still doing pinstriping work and there’s no end in sight.
I had the baby shower thing happen to me. Thing is, I spent literally weeks making a baby quilt especially for our new great grandson but didn’t get invited to the shower. I couldn’t do anything else with it so I gave it to them anyway.🙄
So many responses to Cheapos i luv for their snarkiness vs anger. They are funny and witty. Some quotables i will want to remember when i encounter such discussions. But, I appreciate, too, when an exasperating, poor-pitiful-me, bitter, Cheap shoppers trigger frustrated, angry responses, - the artist/creative talent person, not the bargain hunter. I don’t know if these 2 phrases are still bantered about, but i sure remember them very well- The Starving Artist & Keep Your Day Jobs!!
The worst ones of all are those that agree to the price, say yes to all the costings, etc., and then come time to pay, they start haggling. I blacklisted one customer for doing this and his supply of simultaneous interpreters dried up, guy lost a lot of business.
Sigh...I don't need to view stuff like this. Although I know the grouping of all these together makes things seem worse than they really are (that is what I hope at least), I still find it very disturbing that there are even more than two. Growing up, whenever I would hear ridiculousness like this, I would joke that it seemed that our Mom was the only person that raised kids with some sense. Now it seems there is some truth to that. 😂😂 My Mom, and maybe three more Moms! 🤭☺️ Scary!!! 😂😂😂
My parents, too. We were all taught that if one wants anyone to do something for them, we needed to be prepared to pay the asking price, or just do without the desired thing/work. I taught my son that way, and my sister taught her three (now adults) kids that, too.
I get the concept but I always laugh at people who think they and those in their profession are the only ones who get hit up for free/discounted stuff. I get asked all the time. And don’t ask my father-in-law who’s a physician about perfect strangers who buttonhole him asking him to write them prescriptions unless you want to see his head explode.
due to antiques shows people believe that they can ask for a lower price for an item one shop has sign saying "we have put the price on the ticket that is the price we want and will get" i was browsing some vesta cases some woman came to front asks "what is the best price" owner says ticket price is £50 but what is your best price? £75 no your best price £100 oh ok £50 , £125 what ok £150 then she left i laughed asked that happens much? just for 1st time. I bought 3 vesta @ £60 each he said is £150 ok? sure thats nice
OOH that one about the washington portrait hit hard - and YBh the few times I've done a cut rate "for exposure" it never got me sh!t, so now - full rate or get someone else.
Saw a post the other day saying that because it is the person's birthday, they think it would be nice if people would contribute to their Venmo account and that my doing so would really be appreciated! Needless to say, I scrolled left!
5:55 Only logical answer to this BS: "As being loved by everyone unfortunately doesn't pay my bills, what about this concept: You pay me the full amount, and for every gig I earned from your recommendations, you will get 10% commission. So if you do a great job of recommending, you will have my professional work for free at some point." 7:20, yea, it is always the single moms who think they are entitled to get free things or expensive ones cheap just because they were to stupid to use contraception.
Yep. Musicians and artists are cracking down on the "exposure" racket. They're exerting downward pressure on even the teensiest local garage bands and unknown artists to quit working for free. Undervaluing yourself as an artist leads the public to undervalue all artists.
@@jonesnori That might be, but it is some sort of personal choice to have kids AFTER you built a stable family or don't have kids at all if you are not sure if the father is the right one or you are both on minimum wage and can't even pay the utilities, expensive family extensions like kids won't heal the financial problem at all. The kids are always the losers in this situation, despite being the least responsible for their situation... Especially in the USA there are so many uneducated people who lack the knowledge of basic concepts how contraception and all the sex ed stuff works - nobody taught them how to use condoms, what a kid costs, how a kid is "made" and so on. These are doomed to get kids to find it out the hard way that kids are more than a pet (and even a pet is a family member and needs - like kids - attention, food, love and costs money for the vet - I just paid last month 900€ for vet visits of both cats, one of them being an emergency) and then it is to late. And THESE are the single moms who don't appreciate the help or value of something and try to get things way out of their league for cheap and get shown in these videos here just because the think they are entitled to something. For the sad women where the father passed away, you won't see them (or at least VERY RARE) as choosing beggars. Thankfully - at least here in Europe - you can get money from the government if you are a single mom which covers the most basic needs. Nothing to get rich, but you and the kids won't starve, have somewhere to live in and even class trips to e.g. a museum are paid.
@@jonesnoriYou can always make an offer, and they are free to turn it down. No harm, no foul. Let's also remember that a lot of people sell their Nintendo because they are upgrading to the latest version and don't really need the money.
@@deineroehreDont take this wrong* Okay? But you sound like a childless cat lady. Signed, Single Catless Mom-lady. *I love cats, just happen to be between felines at the moment.
It comes from a saying Beggars are not choosers. Meaning, being a beggar (expecting stuff for free) and a chooser (being picky about the stuff you expect for free) at the same time doesn't really make sense. So, a Choosing Beggar is someone who is cheep as gunk and yet has the audacity to impose their demands on you.
The saying is usually "Beggars can't be choosers", where I come from. And it means that if you're begging for things, you can't/shouldn't be picky about what you get. People are invariably choosers even if they beg, but the idea is that you can't be both.
@ well, I think the idea is the same in my comment as well. As for the precise wording of the saying - thanks for correcting me tactfully. ☺️ English is my fourth language, and I mess up more than I would prefer to. 😁
@Norkku-Mick Seriously, I wish I spoke 4 languages. There are things I excel at, but I have to put in tremensous time and effort to do quite badly at whatever language I am trying to learn. It's a wonderful ability, but I lack it. If you truly learned 4 languages, I congratulate you. Diane, using Joe's tablet
In this culture of grandparents having to be entertainment centres and constant gift buyers I've decided no more. My grandchildren are nearly adults, they don't call, don't say thanks when I send gifts and cards; I don't even know if they've received them, they don't send me anything yet when they come here (rarely) I'm supposed to be an endless supply of money and good times and they can be quite rude and disrespectful. I'm getting on with my life, spending money on what I enjoy. If they prefer not to have a relationship with me then I have to accept it though it hurts. It's about having a relationship not about gifts etc.
And then, 2 days after the shower, the shower invite arrived in the mail in a torn and mangled envelope with a brief note from the post office apologizing for the damage. Of course, by then a friendship had been destroyed.

Dear tiny, I suppose with the amount of money you send Happy Land, they should come to your house and do a special presentation just for you. Not too big, not too small and at just the right speed. As a 1000,000 follower influencer just think of the exposure you could provide them. Oh, and get them to bring over free snacks too.
Some people have bad eyes and also cannot afford to buy a huge screen just so a You tube channel doesn't have to DO THEIR JOB and post legible words since they want us to, you know, READ THEM!
The SIL who is upset she didn't get a shower present from a not invited guest is a special kind of choosing beggar. Bless SIL and brother's hearts.

Just out of interest I checked the price out at the booze store next time I was in town. Almost R500 for 750mls... That did it for me... Stopped being shy.

No invitation means no need for a gift
That's a *fact!*
The one that cracked me up the most was the stupid, ungrateful woman that did not realize she could squeeze the oranges for juice!
The cranberry sauce too -- cranberry juice!
Indeed, yes and also freshly pressed orange juice is much better than stuff in a plastic bottle or a pack. And the whole fruit is even better than juice healthwards - fiber, etc. … and more expensive, again, than bottled up processed juice that usually has extra sweeteners/sugar added, and whatnot. A pack of fresh oranges is a real treat.
Same !
I was stunned. How stupid is she? She listed everything she got from the Food Bank and then had the utter gall to complain because no juice?? She got a TURKEY FFS. Those things are like gold these days ..the price!!
Geez just eat the damn oranges. They're better for you anyway
Dittp
OMG. At 13:25, for the food bank turkey dinner. "I want to know where all that money & food went?" There are lots more families needing assistance, that's where it went. Not to mention that is a bigger spread than many people who are not getting it for free will be having on their tables. Fortunately I am able to afford food for myself but even so I would be thrilled if someone gave me that to make a nice holiday meal for my family, that is amazing. What audacity people have.The only thing that would have made this complaint more ridiculous is asking for a private chef to come cook it for them.
Years ago I was single, raising my kids alone, going to university and also working. It was a real struggle physically and financially but i never asked for any holiday assistance. One year around thanksgiving, someone knocked on our door and gave us a big bushel basket with an entire Thanksgiving meal in it, including the biggest turkey i'd ever seen. The people left and my kids and i were just beside ourselves wondering how we had been given such a wonderful thing! We were all talking excitedly about what a great meal we were going to have when the doorbell rang. The people who had given us the basket were now at the door apologizing profusely because they had delivered it to us by mistake and they had to take it to the true recipients. You know, i could have got upset about that but I didn't. It would have been great if we could have kept that food but obviously someone else's family was worse off than we were. My kids handled it beautifully as well. I still think of that sometimes and chuckle...
Years ago, when my kids were little the company I worked for was sold and everyone was laid off right before the holidays. What we got from our local food bank was so much less than she had pictured. We were grateful we had anything for the holiday and sure did not complain about juice.
@@irrelevantduckfan4413 RIght??? You are a good human and fine example for your children.
9:45. " The artist died from exposure". 😂😂😂😂😂
if etiquette rules don't apply, then what's wrong with him saying it bluntly to his SIL's face?
Exactly! The usual my $h1t don't stink, because I'm more important because.. (birthday. wedding, baby shower, income, etc)
Yeah, Emily Post backed the hell out and does not care! Even Miss Manners says, "Do you." Okay, Miss Manners would have suggested a very proper way to say 'eff right off, sis."
@@teresacarey3269 I know Miss Manners would have at least said that "No invitation equals no gift" or similar.
I wasn’t invited to a wedding but I was expected to go to the hen night and bring gifts…luckily for me I was laid up in bed with sciatica and couldn’t go anyway.
Years later I was sat down the beach and watched her husband walking hand in hand with another woman. He saw me watching. I did not tell anyone. Months later I heard she had divorced him, remarried and eventually emigrated to Australia. 🤷♀️
That's hilarious! Sciatica being a blessing to avoid a hen party is HARD CORE! LoL...I have sciatica, child birth pain is the closest i can come to describing it...
Damn she came to Australia 😢
How are these people not EMBARRASSED!!!
Simple, you need a conscience to be embarrassed. They clearly don't have one.
I read that in Charlotte Dobre's voice 🤣
They're entitled, and have been brought up to mistakenly believe they're the center of the entire universe, and if they just demand things, they'll get those things. They've never been taught any different way.
6:45 "I'm immediate family so the etiquette rules don't apply" why do so many people think it's ok to be rude to someone if it's a relative?
HOW. DO. THEY. GET. THE. NERVE? Just how?? 🙀
Damn straight artists should be paid for what they do, and don't even get me started on musicians... 'starving artist' isn't a joke.
Had to look
"Whilst begpacking may sound like a made-up term, it is actually defined in the dictionary and in 2017 the Urban Dictionary defined the term as ‘backpackers busking or begging to fund their travel’."
It's a way for first-world middle class travelers to extract tourist dollars from foreign lands.
Thanks, I wondered but, couldn't work up enough enthusiasm to look it up myself!
Thanks for doing the research.
the likelihood of pooping on your hairdresser is slim (but it's not zero!)
Very slim, but even then I'd bet it takes practice. : )
😂
1:18 my mom was a school-bus driver & saw one of these "need help god bless" beggars at the traffic light - she stopped the bus & offered to help the man get a job at her church - he cursed at her like a sailor and demanded money - she mentioned the incident to me (home on leave from the military), and i picked up the phone - the next day when that same guy unfolded his "god bless" sign, he was flanked by two very large kids from the local high-school wrestling team who were carrying signs that said "this guy cursed a sunday-school teacher" and "he's a con man, dont give him money"
@@roypiltdown5083 I laughed so hard at this...not about the man begging, but about his rudeness and ingratitude!
When I had a sawmill business, people would always ask if I would give them a discount on my rates. I would inform them that my monthly payment was around a thousand dollars a month but if they could convince the people I was buying my sawmill from to take less then sure - I would give them a discount!
The choosy beggars are the very reason I give my makings away. People will pay $1000 for a Bloomingdales sweater made in China on a machine but not for one of my custom made hand knit ones - why? I make lovely things and fortunately do not need to sell them. It would be a great side hustle but the hassle with clueless people is not worth it. Besides my family & friends are quite happy with the arrangement:)
I’m someone that will spend $$$ for a handmade something over store bought any day of the week.
I make soaps, lotions, etc. and I can knit and crochet (basic stuff anyway), and rebuild a car or a bathroom… but that’s exactly why I’m an advocate for small businesses. Many cannot appreciate what makers do though.
It seems you enjoy your craft and your family and friends do as well. This warms my heart. 💛
4:16 I guarantee if the poster put a sign on the TV saying it’s in great working condition, someone would have picked it up from the dumpster. I put decent and not so decent stuff on the curb all the time, even when I know it’s not getting picked up as bulk garbage. Someone always took it. Save yourself the grief and just put it out there.
The woman at 6:40 dodged a bullet not being invited to the baby shower…
idk if the gall people have has risen over the decades or we're just made more aware of it with social media, but i swear it's a newer epidemic
Considering how old many of these posts are, it's now more because of socmed than anything else. We're far more aware of those things we never used to be exposed to, most unfortunately.
The audacity of some people, i just can't understand.
I occasionally run into people who are sheepish about charging for what they do. I tell them "I'm a government contractor. You better believe you're not getting my professional services for free."
How about my Sociopathic niece, whose credit is tanked because of numerous bankruptcies, who saw an ad from a car dealership saying, "If we can't sell you a car, we'll fix yours for FREE!" She held their feet to the fire. I wonder how reliable their repair job was?
My sister started doing cakes as a side profession, she got bloody good at it too - the restaurant we had my mothers birthday at with one of her cakes wanted to know who made it as it was amazing.
She gave up making them a few months later because folks thought them expensive compared to the supermarket cakes, sometimes I just smh at the ignorance of people in general.
$200 for two tattoos? Mine were nearly $800, were free-handed by a real artist, and were worth every penny and then some. Unless you're cheap, don't put cheap shit on your body.
Yes! For goodness sake, folks, pay for your tats! Discount tats look, well, like discount tats.
Or you can have your drunken buddy do one for freeeee!
7:18 Newsflash: they aren't single moms.
3:10 As someone who once worked in a sandwich shop (not Subway), I felt this one.
It was actually done fast. That’s a helluva lot of sandwiches. I’d never expect them that fast. Half the time (when I remember), I say thanks for cooking/making it for me, just for a regular order. Someone is making my food so I don’t have to, or is shopping for me, I say stfu y’all ingrates, and say thanks instead. Or make it, shop it yourself.
These people are not only entitled but they’re insufferable. I used to do pinstriping and lettering on cars, trucks, motorcycles and whatever else, the requests that I got for doing free work was unbelievable! People would come up at car shows and request that I do their cars for exposure was the most stupidest reason for doing the work. I told them to go kick rocks and that I didn’t need the exposure. They always came back with the threat that I would never get anymore work for turning them down and yet here I am 50 years later still doing pinstriping work and there’s no end in sight.
2.13, I wonder how she feels about having a convicted felon as president?
To be considered for a Pulitzer, you must be nominated.
You can nominate yourself.
Reminds me why I don't do social media, my biggest influencer is the bank 😊
The food bank one was restarted. You are neither poor nor hungery if you can bitch after a long list like that.
"Restarted" lol
I had the baby shower thing happen to me. Thing is, I spent literally weeks making a baby quilt especially for our new great grandson but didn’t get invited to the shower. I couldn’t do anything else with it so I gave it to them anyway.🙄
That is horrible. The family unit has gone to s***! My grand children are ghosts unless I'm convenient.
Awesome video!
So many responses to Cheapos i luv for their snarkiness vs anger. They are funny and witty. Some quotables i will want to remember when i encounter such discussions. But, I appreciate, too, when an exasperating, poor-pitiful-me, bitter, Cheap shoppers trigger frustrated, angry responses, - the artist/creative talent person, not the bargain hunter. I don’t know if these 2 phrases are still bantered about, but i sure remember them very well- The Starving Artist & Keep Your Day Jobs!!
The worst ones of all are those that agree to the price, say yes to all the costings, etc., and then come time to pay, they start haggling. I blacklisted one customer for doing this and his supply of simultaneous interpreters dried up, guy lost a lot of business.
Sigh...I don't need to view stuff like this. Although I know the grouping of all these together makes things seem worse than they really are (that is what I hope at least), I still find it very disturbing that there are even more than two. Growing up, whenever I would hear ridiculousness like this, I would joke that it seemed that our Mom was the only person that raised kids with some sense. Now it seems there is some truth to that. 😂😂 My Mom, and maybe three more Moms! 🤭☺️ Scary!!! 😂😂😂
My parents, too. We were all taught that if one wants anyone to do something for them, we needed to be prepared to pay the asking price, or just do without the desired thing/work. I taught my son that way, and my sister taught her three (now adults) kids that, too.
"50 purse cent" dear gods I can't even
The free food hamper- what ungrateful, unhealthy whingers. Remove them from the list.
I would not have dignified those offers with a response. Not one peep.
These people are so entitled, arrogant, selfish and they want discounts, free merchandise, and whatnot? WOW, they are definitely delusional!
I get the concept but I always laugh at people who think they and those in their profession are the only ones who get hit up for free/discounted stuff. I get asked all the time. And don’t ask my father-in-law who’s a physician about perfect strangers who buttonhole him asking him to write them prescriptions unless you want to see his head explode.
I'm 3 or 4 in and so far, no choosing beggars, just cheapskates- which isn't the same thing
My reply to the second text for the TM-2 Snowboard would have been - $1,000 offer accepted
A charity organization offering an internship for no pay isn't as shameless as a multi-million company offering the same. It's a charity organization.
Have you checked out the *SALARIES* that big charities pay their senior staff? One thing they aren't short of is cash.
The organization was fighting against slavery. That was the irony. They wanted a slave.
Seems like everybody seems to believe that they are entitled to lower price than the minimum. Is it specific to a generation?
No. Every generation produces its share of choosy beggars and self-entitled aholes.
No. This has been a thing since forever.
due to antiques shows people believe that they can ask for a lower price for an item
one shop has sign saying "we have put the price on the ticket that is the price we want and will get"
i was browsing some vesta cases some woman came to front asks "what is the best price" owner says ticket price is £50
but what is your best price? £75 no your best price £100 oh ok £50 , £125 what ok £150 then she left i laughed asked that happens much? just for 1st time. I bought 3 vesta @ £60 each he said is £150 ok? sure thats nice
OOH that one about the washington portrait hit hard - and YBh the few times I've done a cut rate "for exposure" it never got me sh!t, so now - full rate or get someone else.
The last one is a bit different. She might be willing to pay a company that isn’t evil Amazon.
RE: the post at 4:36. It's about time somebody said it & you a-holes know who you are.
Saw a post the other day saying that because it is the person's birthday, they think it would be nice if people would contribute to their Venmo account and that my doing so would really be appreciated! Needless to say, I scrolled left!
I will give you a 50% discount because it is your birthday, and then I will add 50% because it is my birthday. The price is now $15, not $20.
I am so depressed.
50 purse sent....
16:01 what? They just gave in?? Outlier haha
I think the context that was missing is that this person was giving it away for free, so to take half off the asking price still makes it free.
5:55 Only logical answer to this BS: "As being loved by everyone unfortunately doesn't pay my bills, what about this concept: You pay me the full amount, and for every gig I earned from your recommendations, you will get 10% commission. So if you do a great job of recommending, you will have my professional work for free at some point."
7:20, yea, it is always the single moms who think they are entitled to get free things or expensive ones cheap just because they were to stupid to use contraception.
Yep. Musicians and artists are cracking down on the "exposure" racket. They're exerting downward pressure on even the teensiest local garage bands and unknown artists to quit working for free. Undervaluing yourself as an artist leads the public to undervalue all artists.
Not defending these particular single moms, but many, probably most single moms get that way because the father either abandoned them or died.
@@jonesnori That might be, but it is some sort of personal choice to have kids AFTER you built a stable family or don't have kids at all if you are not sure if the father is the right one or you are both on minimum wage and can't even pay the utilities, expensive family extensions like kids won't heal the financial problem at all. The kids are always the losers in this situation, despite being the least responsible for their situation...
Especially in the USA there are so many uneducated people who lack the knowledge of basic concepts how contraception and all the sex ed stuff works - nobody taught them how to use condoms, what a kid costs, how a kid is "made" and so on. These are doomed to get kids to find it out the hard way that kids are more than a pet (and even a pet is a family member and needs - like kids - attention, food, love and costs money for the vet - I just paid last month 900€ for vet visits of both cats, one of them being an emergency) and then it is to late.
And THESE are the single moms who don't appreciate the help or value of something and try to get things way out of their league for cheap and get shown in these videos here just because the think they are entitled to something.
For the sad women where the father passed away, you won't see them (or at least VERY RARE) as choosing beggars.
Thankfully - at least here in Europe - you can get money from the government if you are a single mom which covers the most basic needs. Nothing to get rich, but you and the kids won't starve, have somewhere to live in and even class trips to e.g. a museum are paid.
@@jonesnoriYou can always make an offer, and they are free to turn it down. No harm, no foul. Let's also remember that a lot of people sell their Nintendo because they are upgrading to the latest version and don't really need the money.
@@deineroehreDont take this wrong* Okay? But you sound like a childless cat lady. Signed, Single Catless Mom-lady.

I don’t understand that term Choosing Beggar
Never heard it before
It comes from a saying Beggars are not choosers. Meaning, being a beggar (expecting stuff for free) and a chooser (being picky about the stuff you expect for free) at the same time doesn't really make sense.
So, a Choosing Beggar is someone who is cheep as gunk and yet has the audacity to impose their demands on you.
The saying is usually "Beggars can't be choosers", where I come from.
And it means that if you're begging for things, you can't/shouldn't be picky about what you get.
People are invariably choosers even if they beg, but the idea is that you can't be both.
It comes from the phrase "beggars can't be choosers"
@ well, I think the idea is the same in my comment as well. As for the precise wording of the saying - thanks for correcting me tactfully. ☺️ English is my fourth language, and I mess up more than I would prefer to. 😁
@Norkku-Mick Seriously, I wish I spoke 4 languages. There are things I excel at, but I have to put in tremensous time and effort to do quite badly at whatever language I am trying to learn. It's a wonderful ability, but I lack it. If you truly learned 4 languages, I congratulate you. Diane, using Joe's tablet
The same goes for utube creators…think of your own ideas
Someone slipping in a bit of unctuous Karen was... inevitable.
In this culture of grandparents having to be entertainment centres and constant gift buyers I've decided no more. My grandchildren are nearly adults, they don't call, don't say thanks when I send gifts and cards; I don't even know if they've received them, they don't send me anything yet when they come here (rarely) I'm supposed to be an endless supply of money and good times and they can be quite rude and disrespectful. I'm getting on with my life, spending money on what I enjoy. If they prefer not to have a relationship with me then I have to accept it though it hurts. It's about having a relationship not about gifts etc.
I would buy a gift for my niece or nephew, it’s not about the SIL.
I would buy a gift for baby after it’s birth, but I would not connect my giving to the shower.
What the **** is a baby shower? Some weird American thing?
What's withbthe lousy focus? Too blurry tobread.
You may need glasses... or new glasses. You can also pause and zoom in if you have trouble reading the small print 🙂
Turn up the Quality via settings.
And then, 2 days after the shower, the shower invite arrived in the mail in a torn and mangled envelope with a brief note from the post office apologizing for the damage. Of course, by then a friendship had been destroyed.
The SIL only had to say "but you are invited" and show the list with her name on it. She didn't do that. Because she didn't send an invitation.
I love your twist on it.
I can't read the small print. No reason for this to be.
SIL = So in Love, and about sixty other definitions.
SIL = Service Incentive Leave
SIL = Sheep Improvement Ltd
SIL = Sister-in-Law - Son-in-law - Never use acronyms without providing a definition ! !
if you can't figure out what the acronym means based purely on context clues, then you are admitting you are a moron who can't read.
It's pretty obvious by the story that it meant sister-in-law.
Now lecture us about context clues.
She did: 6:23 She wrote :
"Brother's wife (SIL)".
Brother's wife=sister in law
99% of us got it. It was quite obvious.

Dear tiny, I suppose with the amount of money you send Happy Land, they should come to your house and do a special presentation just for you. Not too big, not too small and at just the right speed. As a 1000,000 follower influencer just think of the exposure you could provide them. Oh, and get them to bring over free snacks too.
Have you tried turning your phone and changing your playback speed to .75 in settings? Think better!
