Episode Date: June 27, 2020

r/Choosingbeggars The woman in today's episode sees a really cute dog on Instagram. Instead of being like a normal person and saying, "Hey, cute dog," this choosing beggar demands that OP send her the dog! She actually expects OP to ship her the dog like it's some sort of Amazon delivery. WTF?

To support sustainable food production, BHP is building one of the world's most sustainable podash mines in Canada. Essential resources responsibly produced. It's happening now at BHP, a future resources company. Welcome to R-Slash, a podcast where I read the best posts from across Reddit. Today's subreddit is R-Slash choosing beggars and next award from our sponsors. At this point, if you're driving anything less than a 2019, we're not dating. I drive a 2019, you should be able to match that. So if you drive a 2018 Tesla or Lamborghini, then I guess you're just not on this girl's

level. Breaking news, Kanye West will pay college tuition for George Floyd's 6 year old daughter, Gianna. What about all the other kids that can't afford to go? Typical celebrity. Please be joking. Did this choosing Beger honestly just try to use the ALL kids matter argument? Hey, man, could you sell it for $25 with shipping? Cheers. I'll do $30 bucks shipped. Sorry, $25 is the highest I can go. Cheers. No worries. Please, I want to get this for my birthday. It's $30. Surely you can wiggle down $5, but my budget is low.

I'll give you a positive review if you can do $25 shipped. I've listed it for 30 and I'm shipping it to you for free. Take it or leave it. I mean, surely you don't want a bad rating on your profile page. Come on man, it's $5. Just wiggle it down. Is that a threat? Do me a favor. Threat? No threat. I'm just saying. Haha, lol. Could you just round it down and let it go for 25? Please. It's $30. Just I'm writing your review right now. Up to you. Bro, I don't give an F. It's $30. Take it our F off. Do you think you can just go around and threaten people to lower their price otherwise you'll give a bad review?

Grow up you little grunt. And for those of you who are listening but not watching this video, this genius first tried to spell wiggle with W-I-G-A-L. On this next post, OP got this letter slipped under the apartment door. What's up ladies, it's the boys from room 134. We've been thinking about inviting you over to chill, however we haven't gotten good looks at your faces. If you guys are both over 7's, feel free to come down sometime.

PS, if you guys both aren't 7's, don't waste our time because we'll be dicks. These guys invited 2 girls to hang out by slipping a note under their door. What are they like? Ten? To all the ladies out there who enjoy my content, have any of you ever gotten one of these notes that's like, do you like me circle yes or no? And more importantly, has it ever actually worked? Let me know in the comments I would love to hear from you. On this next post, OP is starting a business selling Sari's which are traditional Indian garments. OP is selling the Sari's for $250-400 bucks and OP gets a message from an influencer

wanting them to send her free Sari's for an Instagram promotion. Wait, so since you already have the Sari, then how is it costing you more money? You're not paying me to do it. You're missing the point. I spent the money to get the sorry so then I can sell it to make money. If I just give it to you then I'm not going to make money on that sorry. Do you understand? But you already bought it so you own it so how are you losing money? It's literally free advertising.

Do you know how business works? It seems you don't understand the concept, but I don't have time to explain it to you so I'm not interested. Sorry. Wow, it seems like you don't know how to run a business. You won't be successful with that kind of attitude. We'll see about that.

And you need a reality check with your delusion of how a business works. Good luck trapping someone with your influence. Listen, I can ruin your business in a heartbeat, sis. Keep that nasty attitude up and you'll fail. OMG, you're crazy. Just leave me alone. Well, you met with the wrong chick.

Watch how I ruin you, jerk. I'm reporting you. Bubba you beggar. I'm reporting you. Buh-bye, you beggar. Ehh, for you. So as a professional social media influencer, I can say without doubt. It's way easier to ruin a social media influencer's reputation than a business's reputation. So when an Instagram influencer makes a threat like this, it's way more likely to backfire than it is to hurt the business.

Oh, M.G, your dog is so cute. I went up in and feel the fluffy dog. Thank you. If you happen to visit Hungary, we could arrange that. No, can you fly the dog to Denmark? I don't go to Hungary. Sorry, but I don't think that's possible. I can send you photos of my dog to make up for it, though.

I plan to post this picture later today. You're the first to ever see this. What? You're selfish and want to keep the dog only for you. I hope you don't have children. If I go to Hungary, I'll visit your effing dog. Wow. So I get deems from fans all the time pretending to be entitled parents and they say silly things like, give me your YouTube channel or I'm calling the police, or like, I demand that you send me a picture of you go. I mean obviously they're mocking entitled parents and it's all in good fun so I don't mind it all. But even with my fans intentionally trying to be as obnoxious as possible, I've never had someone suggest that I fly you go to their house so they can pet them. Catholic friends, please pray for me. My car isn't starting and also I have a little bit of crippling poverty right now.

Gee, I'm not Catholic. May I still pray to our Heavenly Father for you? I appreciate your concern and care I really do. You're one of my favorite teachers I ever had, too. But I'm just asking for Catholic prayers. On this next post, Opie was giving way of free sofa and had this encounter. Is there anything else you could throw in to make it worth my time? What do you mean? It's a free sofa. Yeah, but it's a 20-mile drive. If it's too far, don't pick it up. I really can't do anything.

The reason I'm giving it away is because I don't have a way of getting rid of it. The customer is always right. You're a terrible businessman. If you can't pick it up, stop wasting my time.

Dear prudence, my daughter-in-law enjoys knitting and crocheting. For her birthday, my husband and I gave her a generous gift card to a local yarn store, for which she thanked us and seemed very pleased. Imagine my dismay, however, when six months later for our anniversary, she gifted us with a lovely bid spread, which she told she made with yarn purchase from the gift card. I told my son that weed in effect paid for our own present, and that he needs to communicate

to his wife how improper and stingy this move was. He refuses saying that her labor and time was also part of the gift. We haven't spoken much since except to discuss our grandchildren, and our daughter-in-law has been outright cold. I'm considering writing her a letter directly explaining why this was an improper gift, and expressing my sadness that her own parents didn't teach her gift etiquette. My husband wants me to drop the whole thing and pretend like it never happened. Prudy, I don't like the idea of moving on as if nothing happened. And if you're wondering if Prudence blasted the choosing beggar in the reply, then here's

the response. But nothing did happen. You received a thoughtful gift that cost more time than money. That's it. If someone gives you a present you don't like, you smile and say things. How thoughtful. And then stash it in the back of your closet. You don't ask your kid to complain to the gift giver via a back channel.

It's fine if you like to give expensive presents and can afford to do so, but that's not the only way to show someone that you care. Even if you don't like knitwear, your daughter-in-law spent countless hours over the course of a half year working on something very detailed for you, and you say yourself it was a lovely bed spread. Whether she got the yarn with the gift card you gave her or spent her own money is beside the point. You're acting as if she re-gifted something when that clearly wasn't the case.

Your daughter-in-law's gift was thoughtful and intricate. Yours was financially generous and relatively generic. There would be no reason to compare the two if you hadn't insisted on doing so in the first place. You're grown adults with plenty of money. If there's something you want for yourself, go ahead and buy it. This kind of petty scorekeeping around gift-giving is barely excusable when little children do it. Writing her a letter to express sadness that her own parents didn't teach her proper etiquette would be wildly inappropriate, out of line and

an unnecessary nuclear option. And it's a guaranteed ticket to make sure you see and hear about your grandchildren way less than you do now. You still have time to salvage this relationship. Don't die on this hill. Let it go, apologize for your churlishness, and take yourself shopping if you want a pricey gift this year. That is a logical, appropriate, and very well thought art response. But you and I both know that when the choosing beggar read this response, she thought to herself, well, I'll never be reading THAT magazine again. I would like to buy your iPhone 8 Plus 64GB unlocked for $385. Okay, 385 sounds good.

350? Gotta pay for my kids' braces. No, sorry. So you hate kids? No. I need $385 for my kids' braces. I doubt anyone would passionately hug you. OP should have responded with.

I don't know what gave you that idea because you're clearly trying to screw me here. For this next post, OP makes logos for Instagram and got this killer deal. Yo, you think you can make me a logo? Sure, what would you want it to say and look like? Um, I wanted to say all mighty and red and black. Okay, when you pay, will you do it with PayPal or Venmo? Hold up, hold up. You never said anything about paying.

It's not free. Why not? It's just a logo. It's for my YouTube channel. I could like suggest you as a good logo maker for my subs. That's the best I could do for you. Other than that, no deals. Sorry, bud. You probably have like 10 subs. I don't need a shout out. And down in the comments of this post, OP explained that this choosing beggar responded and said that they have way more than 10 subs.

In fact, they have 40 subs. On this next post, OP's mom is a florist and she had an influencer with 70,000 followers ask for free wedding flowers for exposure. Thanks for your response. Let me know if you're interested in a barter collection. In exchange for your products, outpost pictures and stories with tags and hashtags to your page and links to your store. And then OP's mom replies, or why don't you pay for your wedding items yourself and

then post pictures and stories to your page just like I would. If I buy something in its fantastic, I let people know. It's the right thing to do for small independent designers, especially now. I've had 75 weddings post-pone this year because of COVID, but it hasn't stopped influencers asking for things for free. Your number 6 in this month alone! Having Instagram followers isn't a quick and easy ride to free stuff town, so please,

especially in times like now, help others by actually buying what you need and then posting reviews. And down in the comments, we have this contribution from NoBS for Gima. My friend owns a small bin breakfast in Costa Rica. She gets requests all the time from influencers for free lodging and even free tours. One even requested a free ride from the airport that's usually around $150. Sometimes, she's so aggravated that she just sends a screenshot of her bookings. She's usually fully booked for months with the word, why? Usually, she just laughs and ignores them.

I told her she should keep a scrapbook of choosing beggars a lull. Can you make a channel banner for me? Sure, do you want a basic package which is the banner or a premium package which is a banner in logo? Premium please. What style are you going for? I want a red dragon breeding fire with the name Storm Dragon under the fire. And for the logo, I want the name Storm Dragon with the dragon logo saying daily content.

Okay, for the custom banner it'll be $6 plus the logo which will be $5. I'm willing to smooth the price to $10. What? No, I won it free. I have an Instagram account with 10,000 followers. And my YouTube channel will have a million subscribers so I can give you credits. Prove it. Fine.

And then the Choosing Beggar sends a screenshot of an Instagram account with 2.1 million followers. There it is. Happy now. I thought you had 10,000. Guess my Insta is so good it got 2 million overnight. And then OPs sends a screenshot of the actual Instagram account that this Choosing Beggar sold it from. Is your name Nate and you're a famous rapper?

Yup, I have a tour date tomorrow. Goodbye, mate. He doesn't torn till June and even then there's the coronavirus.
