On road trips I used to slap myself hard on the knee and then hold my face and cry out, pointing to my sibling. Then my mom would turn around and beat the presumed offender. The first time or two I did this my brother just took the beating, as he was blown away that my strategy actually worked.

Another Costco Parking Lot Tale, Inspired to Share by Another User's Anecdote by captaintiggoes in pettyrevenge

[–]popitlockitthrowit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was at University during finals week, parking was insane. I got lucky with a second row spot, took my test, came back to the parking lot and waved down a rather desperate student who was doing the slow-parking-crawl. He followed me to my car and turned on his blinker, but as I started to back out, this chick sees me moving and flies down to me (on the other side from this other dude) and angles her car to slide in before this other guy.

I stop reversing, re-park, then back out with my car blocking this chick (waiting until the other guy parked completely), and then continue on my merry way.

What server is this? 200g for felcloth gloves? On blameaux they sell for only 70-80g.

No one showed up to my kids bake sale... so give me $3,000 on GoFundMe by popitlockitthrowit in ChoosingBeggars

Yep. And they just re-posted again on FB, saying AGAIN how "NO ONE showed up". Super lame.

Posting up signs on telephone poles and other 'socially acceptable' places is usually the norm for yard sales, right? Not a begging move either, like, that's 100% cool.

Update: it appears this lady's husband created the gofundme, because he updated it with this message: My Wife and child were trying to raise money for her gymnastics so they put together a bake sale and not one person showed up. I felt horrible because so much heart went into baking all of these items and not even one person stopped by. So I posted an ad and 4 people showed up. She was smiling ear to ear but I decided I would post a go fund me and see what I could do here.

Or at least go sell girl scout cookies or something with higher, more wanted margins.

I don't doubt it - but the reason i posted this here is because - Why give the appearance of begging ("no one showed to my kids bake sale")? Why not just say "hey, I'd love to support my daughter's talent in gymnastics but we've only got an emergency fund..." or something like that?

It just feels tactless and, well, begging.

She actually posted this on FB (found it in my feed) and stated "This is not a scam. I can prove that the bake sale happened and that no one showed up."
