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

 

We've got a wide range of them for this week's edition of the Top Choosing Beggars. Some of these scenarios include a wedding day Uber pool, a dude who wants a free lawyer to sue just about everyone under the sun, and various job postings with little to no pay. We even have a saga involving a wannabe equestrian photographer with no talent and a whole lot of audacity. 

 

If these stories serve as any indication, it may take a special kind of desperate person to boldly make demands online, but these people seem to come out in droves all over the Internet. So why is it that the choosing beggars of the world tend to be their ridiculous selves online? Perhaps it's the seemingly harmless anonymity of the Internet or the distance that comes with making these kinds of demands through online messaging and not face-to-face. Because sure if this was in-person, these folks would know better. 

 

Keep scrolling for this week's collection of the top 10 choosing beggars. When you're finished, here are this week's top Karens!

    #2: This epic story of a wannabe horse photographer

    Font - Photographer wants us to pay $1000 to train him MEDIUM Update: I posted my reply email to him a bunch of times in the comments - and his response only: "sorry for the miscommunication" This is my first time posting in this sub, but this is too hilarious not to share. Cross posted to entitled people.

    Font - My daughter and I are horse people (and d do I have to work hard to support this lifestyle, lol). I have ridden my whole life - regularly until I got Lyme. My daughter has ridden since she was a child. We are extremely fortunate to be at a gorgeous barn with the best trainer ever.

    Font - There is a photographer, L, that I met through a business networking group. He typically does family photos, sports events, parties, etc. He seems like a nice enough guys, and his work is pretty good. Nothing special but nice shots. He called me a couple weeks ago and told me he wanted to break into equestrian photography and would I have any advice on how to do that. I invited him to our barn to discuss.

    Font - He came and had a terrific time, took some photos, and we talked about having him attend a horse show with us. In return for the trainer and the barn girls advising him on what he should be looking for and what angles to shoot during the show, he would provide prints at low cost. We talked about how valuable the trainer's time was and yet she was willing to take the time with him. Now this trainer is one of the top in the northeast and also works with tv and movies to train actors who nee

    Font - but because I asked her, she would advise the photographer at the show, and also allow him to attend a group jumping lesson for more training. Obviously she is not a photographer, but is well versed in what actions shots of horses should involve. L seemed very excited about the opportunity and seemed to understand the value.

    Font - Well, last night he emailed me. Instead of providing low cost shots in exchange for knowledge in horse behavior, action, etc, he decided that he "needs $1000 up front" to attend the show, and needs assurance he will be the only photographer there. Further he needs the email addresses of every competitor so he can sell his photos. Um. This is the polar opposite of what we discussed. I was dying laughing - more so because he sent me a link to the shots he took when he was visiting and they

    #10: And for the grand finale...

    Font - Loan me $[X],000 for Rent and an Engagement for my GF Ring SHORT So a friend I've known for decades is not great with his finances. He calls late one night and leaves a VM, saying "Hey, I really hate to ask you this but I need a loan for XYZ amount."
    via u/Tough-Raisin9627
  • 18
    Font - I listen to the VM the following morning, call him back, and ask "what's the loan for?", he replies "I need to pay my rent and buy an engagement ring for my [super long distance] girlfriend." Now there are a few serious scenarios where I would make the loan, but in this case I chose right.

    Font - I said "no, I cannot loan you money for rent for a house you cannot afford. And I don't even think you and your GF will last considering you cheat on her all the time. So no."

    Font - Ends up the GF pays his rent. He breaks up with her the next day. She calls me repeatedly for emotional support. He and I have not spoken since. He was furious at me for not issuing him a loser loan. 20+ years of friendship gone. It's a shame.
