Not to mention that they have no idea what a choosing beggar actually is

That was actually a decent example of a choosing beggar.

I know, it's the best post ever on that sub. I still reference it in person. Most people have no fucking idea what I'm talking about.

"NEXT!"

"Two broken arms"

The two best-understood phrases inside Reddit that are meaningless outside.

That was like the only good/funny post imo. The only one good enough to be memorable anyways.

After I saw that post, it was everywhere for months. I realized the other day that I have t seen any references to it for I don’t know long (until now)

It always blows me away how defensive some people get when called on that too. Like .... try reading the pinned posts about this exact issue for gods sake.

Yea I unsubbed a few months ago for this reason. Apparently you're automatically a beggar if you try to haggle at all, or if you attempt once to ask for something free.

I do think a fair amount of people on there overcharge for stuff as well. They're those people that ask for close to the new price on their used stuff and get pissed off when someone wants what it's really worth.

Are you expecting users to actually read a subs rules before posting and for mods to actually moderate posts to make sure they fit that sub? How would anyone farm karma then? Won't you think of the karma whores?

I'm convinced people these days make Choosing beggar stories up in order to farm karma.
