There are people in this world who have found a way to be simultaneously desperate and demanding. Whether it's negotiating a purchase or severely underpaying someone, the choosing beggars of the world still always manage to find ways to surprise us here at FAIL Blog. You always think you've seen it all until someone offers to pay a babysitter less than $3 an hour. It can be difficult to call choosing beggars out on their nonsense. Firstly, you have to be stern and confident. You have to know th…

One of these days, it'd be nice to step into the shoes of a real-life choosing beggar. Before you judge me, hear me out. As someone with very little audacity, it would be a fulfilling experience just to walk in someone else's shoes for a day and feel entitled to everything I wanted. I'm not saying I'd like to live like this for the rest of my life. If I did, I'd probably end up alone, embittered, and with no friends. However, just for a day, I want to know what it's like to walk into a room and…

Ladies… leave the fellas at home—really. And this statement applies to anyone prone to bringing their partners to traditionally spouseless events. It doesn't matter if you're attached at the hip for every waking moment of your life; otherwise, when it comes to something like a bachelor or bachelorette party, your spouse should not be involved. Leave the ol' boy at home and go have a night out on the town with the girls. This really shouldn't be a conversation in the first place, but—if it comes…

There's nothing more blood boiling than when you go out of your way to do a favor for someone only for them to have the audacity to correct you—even ridicule you—over how it was done. Somehow, a simple thanks for act in itself isn't enough, and some complex ego jiu-jitsu leads them to feel it necessary to belittle you and your act of service in order to bring themselves back up to being “better than” you in their own minds. Anyone who thinks or acts like this should just do it themselves or pay…

Desperate times may call for desperate measures, but some of these choosing beggars are really reaching...

Beggars shouldn't be choosers—and when you find yourself down on your luck or in a desperate situation, you probably shouldn't be making demands about how those who are willing to offer you support provide that support. There is nothing in this world more wholesome than receiving support from friends, family–even complete strangers—in a desperate time of need. A selfless act of support, willingly given, says more than words ever could and is often essential for making sure that you come out the…

We all know what it's like to want nice things but to not have the means to purchase them responsibly. It could be as big as a certain pop star's highly in-demand concert tickets or as small as ordering from Grubhub. Regardless of the situation, we all know what the mental process is like when you want to buy something you really can't afford. And trust me, if there's one thing I'm qualified to talk about, it's living above my means, First, you start to sweat in areas you didn't think you could…

Happy Fourth of July to everyone except the choosing beggars of the world!

Pretty sure the owner's response was not exactly what this student was expecting.

The best part of the whole story is that the teenage daughter has absolutely nothing to do with this.

The queue is a foundational structure of society. First come, first served—it's as simple as that. This serves as a great equalizer of man. Every person's status is one and the same when they are in the queue—all are equals and must wait their turn. If you refuse to wait your turn, you'll be That's all well and good, except people with status, particularly entitled people with status, keep looking for loopholes to avoid waiting in the queue like everyone else because they think they're better t…

These people are ready to haggle themselves the best possible deal. These “ choosing beggars ” are among the funniest this week. People from all over post their random sightings of people who need things, but really don't want to pay much for them, and also, they don't want to put much effort into getting these things. Some people really have the audacity to ask others to do chores for them — like removing a lengthy fence — and then want to be paid so that the buyer can take the scraps, which i…

It's time to take a look at this week's collection of needy, entitled folks!

If, at first, you don't succeed… tell a sob story and beg your target for cash instead. This is the scammer's creed—at the first sign of their scam going sideways, they'll crumple like paper and resort to tearful begging instead. That, or get overwhelmingly aggressive. The begging is really just the continuation of the same initial scam, and just because you were wary and caught them out on the initial attempt doesn't mean you won't be suckered in by the crocodile tears that follow. Commenters…

Three cats and one crazy cat lady is a big ask.

This daughter needs to learn that no job is beneath her.
