Now streaming on Paramount Plus. Hey baby, I hear the blues. It's calling, toss salads, and scrambled eggs. Y'all know how this goes. And maybe I seem a bit confused. Yeah, maybe. But I got you picked. Ha-ha-ha.

But I don't know what to do with those toss salads and scrambled eggs. Kelsey Grammer returns in Frazier. Life's calling again. New series now streaming on Paramount Plus. Welcome to R-Slash, a podcast where I read the best post from a cross-reddit. Today's subreddit is R-Slash Choosing Beggars, where someone claims they make $8,000 a day

as a wedding photographer. I am looking for very edgy photos for my wedding. It should be an all-day job with six hours of post photos with the wedding party. I'll need a DVD of all the edited photos in high resolution and you'll be compensated $150. I may also be willing to let you do a trash to dress you with me the next day. In response, OP sent a short but polite email stating that he couldn't meet the requirements at the quoted rate. Look butthole, I know how the business works. I've been a wedding photographer for 15 years and I make over $8,000 a day. $8,000 a day. $8,000 times 365 equals 2,920,000, so just shy of $3 million a year.

If they're a wedding photographer who makes 8K a day, then shouldn't they also expect that OP would have to be paid 8K a day? I mean, clearly they're lying because there's no way a wedding photographer makes 3 million dollars a year. Secondly, jeez, this sounds like a terrible wedding. 6 hours of posed photos with a wedding party? I mean, I'm not a wedding photographer, so I don't really know what's normal here, but when I got married, we sure didn't take photos for 6 hours. Man, imagine going to a wedding and having to pose with people for 6 hours. On this next post, the Choosing Beggars and Amateur Rapper and OP as a model. I need a

female model for a music video, anyone interested DM me. Hey, are you gonna be in Blink on Saturday? Yeah, what time? All day basically, we're going to a bunch of places. I'll deem you the address to meet me on Saturday, is that okay? Yeah, sure. What about payment? What do you mean, you'll get to be in the video? Yeah, I know that, but how much will I get paid for it? You get exposure? You know, I have 13,000 followers.

The video will be on IGTV and I'll tag you. I'm sorry, but that's no good. If you want to book me for a whole day with multiple locations, you'll have to pay. WTF? Isn't exposure enough? You don't even have that many followers. You'll be exposed to 13,000 followers. I'm not going to work for free, but I'll tag you. Come on. Down in the comments this post from that one great cat made me laugh. People die of exposure. I can't tell what this item is in the picture. I think that it's a wallet, but in any event, OP is selling it for five bucks. Hi, is this still available? Yep, where can we meet? Hope he gives an address.

Okay, great, thanks. So this is free, right? I'll come right now. No, it's not free. It's $5. But it's only $5. Your listing says it's free. Can I still have it?

I'm on my way to pick it up for free. I can't pay $5. The listing is for $5. I can't pay $5. The listing is for $5. I can't pay, but I'll take it off your hands to save you space. Things I'll be there. Is 3PM OK? No, it's $5, and it doesn't take up a lot of space for me. I can't pay, but I'll take it off your hands.

You don't need it because you listed it. I'll be there at 3PM. You can come at 3PM, but you'll it off your hands. You don't need it because you listed it. I'll be there at 3pm You can come at 3pm, but you'll be wasting your time. If I had wanted to give it away for free I would have listed it for free. What do you mean? You don't need it, so why wouldn't you give it to me for free? I'll be there at 3. I mean I listed it for $5, so I don't want to give it away for free. I'll see you at 3pm then. Thanks. It's okay, I'll take it for free. No worries. If you're not going to pay for it, then don't come.

We'll talk about it in person. Are you messing with me or something? Is this a joke? No, I want it and I'm coming to pick it up. See you then. Do not come if you're not going to pay. We'll talk in person. I don't have money. I'm coming to pick it up. See you then. Do not come if you're not gonna pay. We'll talk in person. I don't have money. I'm almost there. Good luck with that.

Where are you? I'm here. I took three buses to get here. Where you at? If you're messing with me then we can fight. What is wrong with you? I told you not to come if you weren't gonna pay for it. I won't be fighting you. Normal I'd be coming outside. Come outside. We need to talk. I took three buses to

get here and I am not leaving until we meet. I'm not coming outside. I'm going to call the police if you don't leave. Why'd you give me the address to meet? I took three buses here. Are you kidding? Also, I'm fairly certain that you're messing with me. It's the other way around. Hurry up, I don't have all day. Can you just give me the cooling pad and I'll be on my way? What do you even need $5 for? How about this?

I'll give you $1. Is that good enough? I spent over $2 for the bus. Hurry up, I'll give you $1. Oh, call the cops. You're messing with me and told me to come all the way down here for nothing. I never told you to come, I specifically told you NOT to come, actually.

Then why am I waiting here now? I took three buses here and I'll take three buses back. Can you just give it to me? I don't have five dollars. I've been waiting half an hour, when are you coming? So let me get this straight. You saw my listing for 5 dollars, made it up in your head that it was free, demanded I give it to you for free.

And after I said no, you took 3 buses and you opened my building hoping I would change my mind or something. I don't believe for a second someone would actually do all of this for a 5 dollar item. Alright, I agree with OP on this one. Why would someone go through so much effort to save $5 on a heating pad? Email Subject. Netflix Media Opportunity. Hi, Megan.

I hope you're having a great week so far. I'm a producer for this show Love is Blinded on Netflix and I wouldn't reach out to you because we would love for you to potentially be a wedding photographer for our upcoming season. I don't have a specific date in mind yet, but I wanted to get the conversation started so that when the time comes, it'll be easy to just find a good day and time together and have some logistics already figured out. We'll be filming through May and June. Love is Blind is one of the biggest TV phenomenon of 2020, and one of the year's most watch shows in the world with over 30 million households tuning in. It held the number one spot on Netflix for four consecutive weeks, and has taken social media and the press

by storm. It was nominated by two prime time Emmys last year for outstanding structured reality series and outstanding casting. I've attached a sheet with some more info regarding demographics. Let me know if that's something you might be interested in doing. Your Hone could use a little extra A bit more Or maybe a whole lot of A bit more. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Or maybe a whole lot of. Add some extra.

To your holiday gatherings when you add ice cold Coke to your cart. Coca-Cola. Real magic. This is just the beginning. Stream the complete Dutton Legacy, 1883, 1923, and all seasons of Yellowstone. I love Montana, but I'm doing this far family. Paramount Plus, the streaming home of Yellowstone. And then after OPs in an email asking for more information, this person replies, hi, Megan, thank you so much for getting back to me.

You would attend the weddings and take photos. We're doing all the weddings at the same location, it would be five weddings total. You would need to be available June 6th or the 10th, times our TBD is of right now. This would be an unpaid opportunity, but your photos would be used for the promos in US Weekly, people, etc. Does this still sound like something you'd be interested in? Let me know, thanks. So, first of all, if this is such a great show that really had the number one slot on Netflix for four weeks, then surely they could afford to pay their photographers.

Secondly, I watched the first season of Love is Blind. I'm sure that I did see photographs taken by their wedding photographers. And to be honest with you, even if I decided that I did want to hire those people, I wouldn't even begin to know how to find them. So sure, the photographs were exposed to a lot of people. But how could that actually translate into more business when the show never bothered to link the photographer? Like, is OPs supposed to work for five days for free just to get, I guess, one line that says, photographs by such and such in the final credits of the final episode? On this next post, OP's aunt asked OP to paint a portrait of her family, and then OP has this conversation with her mom. Your aunt loved the painting of her family. She said to say thank you.

Ask her to pay me then, Loll. She said that she would pay me 80 bucks. How can you take money from your own family? It took me over 12 hours to make it. Plus, she said that she would pay me 80 bucks. You ask her, I'm not asking. She's been ignoring me for three days ever since she received the painting. Don't create a fuss.

What's so awful about this is, you know, obviously on top of her stripping O.P. 80 bucks. Is the aunt can't even say thank you to O.P. in person. She has to contact O.P.'s mom to say thank you. Like, apparently it's wrong to ask for 80 bucks from your family, but it's not wrong to ask for 12 free hours of labor from your family. We've eaten way too much. This person gave a review of 1.3 stars out of 6 stars? Well, anyways, we have you 1.3 out of 6 stars. Then the owner replied, hi choosing beggar on your order note you wrote, I'm a doctor, so please give me extra stuff.

Thank you. So we did give you extras, but despite that, you requested a refund and gave us a poor review. Shame on you. Please don't use your occupation to take advantage of us. We appreciate all the hard work that doctors do, but please keep in mind that we also have to support small businesses. So I just looked up what the average salary of an NHS doctor is, and typically they're

making about $200,000. So imagine making $200K and being so entitled that you demand to get free stuff, and then when they do give you free stuff, you can plain about it. On this next post, OP works in IT. He is not a professional crafter. He just likes to make handmade jewelry in his free time. Anyways, OP posted a photo of a handmade silver ring that he made for his wife. And then, beneath that post on Facebook, people start replying. Beautiful. They're so beautiful. OP's sister says,

Can you make me one, please? Let me know how much you charge. And O.P. replies to a sister, don't worry about the money. I have some scraps over that I can use, but if you want it in gold, I can look up some prices. And that's when the choosing beggar posts. Hi, these are really pretty. It's my girl's birthday next month,

and it's been a really hard year for the kids. Could you please make me 20? I want to put one in each gift bag. Make two of them in gold for me and blank and the rest all in silver for the gift bags. Could you have them delivered to me by the end of this month? Ope your applies. I'm sorry, there isn't really any way that I can make 18 silver and two gold rings by the end of the month. I don't have that much silver and I don't keep gold. I mean, the materials alone would be over 300 pounds. 125 pounds for silver and 200 pounds for gold.

It takes me quite a few hours to make the rings and get them looking like this. It takes me at least two evenings after work per ring. You might be better off getting costume rings or trying a shop that can conceal them to you. What the heck? This is awful service. I want to help and support you, so why can't you pay for the material and make these for me? I want to put them in my daughter's birthday gift bags. Do it as a favor. If all you really want is the money, I can pay you ten pounds each for the silver rings and fifteen for the gold rings. Why not just do it as a birthday present to my daughter?

Can you take a few vacation days off work and have these made for me? There is no way that I would actually believe that this person wants to give away rings for gift-bags for her daughter's birthday. I would bet any amount of money that she's just trying to guilt-trip OP and giving her free rings so she can turn around and sell them. On this next post, OP makes files for 3D printing and he receives this message. Hi, why don't you give out your 3D files for us to print with our own printers? It's effing selfish dude.

You should send the files to me on Thingiverse so I don't have to spend $400 on your stupid garbage. Don't be a tool you greedy bastard. Let us make the stuff that you make too. I'm sorry that you feel that way, but this is my full time job. I spend a lot of time making the models in the prints. I supply a quality service to the members of the siege community, and they're more than happy to support me. Your stuff sucks, dude. You better let us make them, or I'll find your place and you'll regret it.

This choosing beggar, your stuff sucks. Also this choosing beggar. Please give it to me. I want it so bad. Does anyone have a TV they don't want and want to get rid of that's in perfect shape? I'm currently looking for a new TV because ours has stopped working. Thank you. Yeah, I've got one. one and when I get rid of that's in perfect shape. I'm currently looking for a new TV because

ours has stopped working. Thank you. Yeah, I've got one. It's not a flat screen though. You can pick it up just outside of Blink. Message me if you're interested. Oh, yeah, we're looking for a flat screen at least 47 inches. Hi, my name is Blink. I'm a young independent photographer slash Instabadi looking to move into a cozy place long term with a couple of housemates. My name is Blank. I'm a young independent photographer slash Instabatti looking to move into a cozy place long-term with a couple of housemates. My job is in between busy patches, so naturally I wouldn't be able to pay rent. But I'm more than make up for this by doing the dishes, cleaning the house, and providing everyone with a fun, cool vibe.

A couple of rules. I must have all female housemates. Sorry guys. Vegan's only. No murderers. Preferably music friendly. I'm a master of the drums and kalimba. No noise after 10pm. My current landlord gave me two weeks notice, so I'm looking to move out soon. Hit me up if you're interested, Kawabanga. Down in the comments, I'm gonna read this post from Teenage Mustache. Gary, your rent is due. Huh?

What about my vibes? Can I pay in vibes? Your vibes are to pledge yourself in bid until noon and they complain that we're out of toilet paper. Yeah, but what about the chilled tunes I play? Yeah, you've played the same three more C-Songs and Repeat. Get out! So speaking of playing things and repeat, if you have a Google or an Amazon device, you

can say, hey, device, play the latest R-Slash podcast episode. You know, just thought I'd throw that out there.
