Choosing Beggars Who Are Bad at Negotiating

They say that beggars can’t be choosers, but that’s not always true.

As with so many uses of the word “can’t,” it might more properly be replaced with the word “shouldn’t.”

Beggars SHOULDN’T be choosers, because when they are, they end up looking very silly, and then they get showcased on subreddits specifically designed to call them out. Like these people did.

12. If you need

“I’m a YouTuber. Which one? Don’t worry about it.”

Friend tried to sell his Nintendo Switch on eBay… from ChoosingBeggars

11. Free will

That’s the sprite.

If you’re not gonna pay for multiple sprites, there’s no chance you’ll get that game done. from ChoosingBeggars

10. Charity

“Have you thought about starting a small business instead?” What?

I don’t even know what’s happening, am I crazy?? from ChoosingBeggars

9. Free for me

I mean sure, B-movies on DVD aren’t worth a lot, but come on dude.

8. Dishonest

Nobody gets angrier faster than someone who doesn’t grasp basic concepts.

How dare you inconvenience me by making me pick up the item you’re giving away for free from ChoosingBeggars

7. My son…

Your son is sick so you…need a free chair?

This CB threatens to kill person over $150 chair from ChoosingBeggars

6. The naked truth

Well this exchange is just all kinds of awful.

Guy asked me for a nude so he can draw me. I sent one, then he asked for more… from ChoosingBeggars

5. Feeling twitchy

I’ll be on the lookout for all those flying pigs.

“I’ll pay you back when my twitch blows up” from ChoosingBeggars

4. No

I genuinely don’t even understand what the internet is anymore.

Yall should see the number of women dropping their venmo codes there, pathetic from ChoosingBeggars

3. Qualifications

This is what you show an older person when they hit you with JuSt GeT a BeTtEr JoB tHeN.

2. Crazy mad boys

“You don’t know who I am or what I’m doing and I offer you nothing, but come work for me.”

Yeah sure. All work and no benefits ? from ChoosingBeggars

1. Park it

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure disability stickers entitle you to more CONVENIENT parking, not free.

Two WHOLE dollars?! I always get it for free!!! from ChoosingBeggars

Beggars shouldn’t be choosers. But they’re gonna anyway. Just try to make sure you’re not counted among their number.

12 Times People DEMANDED Free Stuff

I’d like to say that I’m not one of these people who sits around yelling about how “KIDS THESE DAYS JUST WANT EVERYTHING FOR FREE!!”

I personally believe that we’re crippling entire generations with debt by refusing to provide basic needs in the name of increased profits for folks who have no business getting any richer.

That said, there is a line. Taxing billionaires to provide free college? Sure. Yes. All for it. Just demanding some internet stranger who probably has no more than you do that they give you their time/money/stuff for free because you feel like it? No bueno.

That kind of entitlement lands you on a list like this.

12. The mask you wear.

Begging and choosing.

11. Any reason.

Does this actually work?

10. Wish list.

The airpods he’s referring to go for $50 used.

9. Drawing conclusions.

Why do people think artists should be paid?

8. Keep the faith.

There’s nothing wrong with being religious, there’s a lot wrong with waving your religion around like an all-access pass assuming it should garner you a bunch of privileges.

7. Just pretty and nice.

The absolute nerve to post this as a comment.

6. Get a grip.

Yanno, there are brand deals to be struck between companies. It happens all the time.
This is not how it happens.

5. Very driven.

This is either sort of heartbreakingly sincere or a way-too-obvious-scam to get a free RV from the faithful.

4. Still charging?

Ah yes, it’s criminal that Big Independant Artist is out here price gouging for essentials like *checks notes* dog portraits.

3. A bad influence.

Wait, who’s on a horse now?

2. Yes, no thanks.

“Free product and pay for delivery? Nah. I’ll pay for the product AND delivery. That’s a better deal.”

1. The machine.

I can’t throw too much shade at this one because, honestly, I get it.

Keep goin’ out there and demanding what you must from the man. But don’t rip each other off. That’s not how we do.

Do you have a terrible selling experience?
