Can't believe someone would accept free expensive stuff so heroic

I still agree with the idea that people should make a subreddit where they take the jobs, but only do the worst job imaginable, and report the results.

My best friend gave me a Claddagh ring as a friendship ring before she died (she had a matching one). Depending on the orientation of how it is worn and what hand reflects your relationship status. My husband didn't buy me a ring; he asked me to marry him as he switched the position of my ring. I cried and thought it was really sweet because I only explained how the rung worked once, and he, who has a notoriously terrible memory, remembered. I told my boomer coworker, and she called him cheap. I said she was one to talk, seeing as for Christmas gift exchanges, she didn't buy anything but used the event as an excuse to unload some of the hoard of shit she had in her apartment off on other people. She was not amused.

I appreciate Kenny the editor, he has a good sense of humor

6:58 "he's all the kid one woman can handle." Okay, so you're admitting your son is a manchild and his wife is basically going to be a replacement mother for him. Weird flex, but you do you.

I love when people are like "I won't pay you but we'll tell these and these special people about you." The fact that you'll rather do this than pay me a measly few dollars means that you are so down with money that these special people don't care about you or your reccomendations.

I never understood the expensive engagement ring trend. If my partner and I were at a point in our relationship where we could and wanted to get married (and I love him with my whole heart and soul, so I hope we will), he could go into my jewelry box and propose to me with a ring I already own and I would still be dang thrilled. It should be about the person, not about the thing.

Even a grand for hand crocheted article can be too little. Craftsmanship like this often costs thousands of dollars and honestly they deserve it.

Ah yes the paid in exposure bs. Not just sketches but writers too it seems. It's amazing how obnoxious people get when they think they have the smallest bit of power over someone.

As someone who used to ask artists to draw my characters and other stuff for free back when I was a kid. I hereby apologize for wasting their time and hope they got plenty real commissions from paying customers shortly after.

I love it when editor's chime in, it's like a god peeking through the clouds.

As someone who just moved away from home and has been on the hunt for cheap furniture, every time I've asked if delivery is possible I've always offered to pay, no matter if the item is free!

The person who responded to the Instagram person wanting to eat at the restaurant and review it who said that "You have as much of a right to review my restaurant as I have to review your menstrual cycle" had said that, because although it shouldn't have to be said it's disrespectful to review another's menstrual cycle, her entitlement was as if she was wanting to review a part of the restaurant owner's own person, as I assume they probably feel as that this is their life's work.

Robin should have his own podcast where he rants on reddit

For the one at 10:30 working minimum wage of $7.25 per hour for 150 hours is just under $1100. So she's out here making people stuff for WAY less than minimum wage and they still act like that

10:00, I get custom boots due to my disability, and the time it takes to get an appointment for what type of shoe and the design, then another appointment for the mold, then another for scans, then once you get the prototype, you test them and they usually need to be changed, and it took almost a whole year for the whole process, quite a penny, but they are extremely high quality and will last a lifetime

Dude, Robin's voice always sounds like he is passive aggressive. Like, not angry, just passive aggressive. It sounds like something pissed him off right before he started recording and he just sounds like that throughout the whole recording 😄😄😄

I worked at a screen printing company. We printed cups of Ellen and I had the fun of overhearing her yell at the print supervisor about how bad they looked I QCed them and they where much better done then what we normally send out. Maybe 2 or 3 had a very mild defect not with the print. Was also trying to get a refund. It was Ellen herself.

36:07 i didnt know vegeta doing the orange justice was something that i needed in my life until now

It's weird to me when people demand compensation for food because I have been served food with LITERAL PIECES OF METAL in the food and my only concern was letting the restaurant know so that it didn't happen to anyone else. Sort of pointless to ask for more food or other compensation when I'm worried there might be glass or something in the next meal. Not worth my time to harass others

Moral of the story: beggars can't be choosers

36:15 thanks for your opinion Editor Kenny, always a pleasurer seeing ya

Editor Kenny is a real man of culture!

How to let out anger 101: watch this subreddit and let it loose

Beggars: we want a new 5k computer for free Beggar: gets refused Beggar: :O

can we just take a second to appreciate robins voice

You guys should let Robin do the cute animal subreddits sometime. Poor guy.

0:29 MI is Michigan. MN is Minnesota. ME is Maine. MO is Missouri. MS is Mississippi. MD is Maryland. And MA is Massachusetts. Hope this helps, Robin.

That part about not paying the editor was fing gold😂

Sort of funny story similar to the returning food after you ate it all. Once, I was with some buddies at a Mexican restaurant, and several of us got a large horchata. I REALLY like horchata, but this time around it tasted kinda funny, a little sour. I noticed it and my friends noticed it. It was kind of like a cream cheese sour, and I actually really liked it. Turns out they didn't clean the old batch out when they made the new one (it was really late and it was 24-hrs restaurant), and offered us all a new, fresh horchata. I refused, because I REALLY like the slightly sour horchata, much to everyone's (especially the staff) horror and kept drinking it. Well, even after I drank mine, they still insisted on giving me a second, free horchata, and those things were HUGE. I was happy. Everyone else was far more grossed out than they should. The next day I had slight indigestion and that was all I suffered. 11/10, would drink sour horchata again.

"Mercerized" cotton thread or yarn is 100% cotton but has been through extra processing beyond just cleaning. It strengthens the thread, making it wear out/break less over many washings, makes it more receptive to the dye color & gives a smooth feeling semi-gloss finish. The process makes it better to use when making many kinds of items, but it does make the thread/yarn cost a bit more of course. If you're only buying a little to make a couple items you might think the difference in price of a few cents per yard is no big deal, but for someone having a business making many items that means that the cost of supplies goes up a lot when they're buying in bulk. Since she's talking about crocheted clothing items, you'd want all natural fibers (cotton, wool, silk, etc) rather than polyester or poly blends because that will just be scratchy against skin.

Something I saw once in response to an "I'm an influencer, I should get food for free" was someone who said something to the effect of "If you can get 10 people to come to our restaurant and mention that you referred them, we will fully reimburse the cost of your meal." The "influencer" declined the offer. Honestly, if you really do have that kind of reach that you posting about a place on your TikTok/IG/whatever will actually help the business at all, I think the above is a completely fair offer.

Editor, I must say, we all here respect your craft! I literally almost broke my jaw laughing at this NO omg)))

35:52 Editor Kenny I love you that was fucking hilarious

6:19 WOOO STOP... Robin... in all seriiousness, you are not having a "weird job". You are a voice actor, you are an entertainer and you bring joy to thousands of people every day. There is nothing, I repeat N.O.T.H.I.N.G wrong or weird about reading mees on KZfaq. In fact, dare I say, in the past years... you and the others at EmKay Entertainment have been essential for the remaining of sanity for many many people. Don't ever look down on what you, Lexi, Jack and everyone at EmKay make for at least a few minutes the world OK Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Much love to you and your friends at EmKay from the Netherlands Mavadelo

7:44 not to play devil's advocate (actually totally playing devil's advocate) but I could even imagine the dude dating but mommy dearest doesn't accept her for whatever reason

13:10 That's a lot of words for: "I can't handle salt water"

35:46 Ereshkigal, Editor Kenny has excellent taste in waifus.

I recently started crocheting and the time it takes is no joke. I’m making some stuff for a 1/4 scale model and it took me easily 6 hours today to make about half the hood of what will be a full length cloak. It’s going to take at least a week’s worth of free time to make something that is 1/4 the size of a piece of human clothing, and I had to stop today because my fingers went numb from the repetitive wrist motion. I can’t even imagine spending years getting good at it, buying all the materials, working for essentially $1 an hour to make a completely custom piece, and then having the person complain about the cost.

The editors response almost made me spit my cereal out all over my phone. I'm deceased. Be warmed. Dangerous episode for breakfast x) lol

I think the post where the mother is looking for a girl for her 26-year-old son is actually his friends pranking him.

To all content creators and influencers: If you aren't successful enough to pay an employee, you aren't busy enough to need one.

1:09 Chip is a shortened term for a high school in the area, so they have no problem hiring a high schooler to work as a receptionist AND a daycare worker for their “range” of $11-14/hour…

Taking expensive things for free is amazing.

36:02 I was NOT expecting vegeta xD

25:00 - And the punchline is everyone knows the bagglers taste *better* than the ones that stayed in the container.

The post about the handmade crochet actually made me realize how addicted we are to our industrialized production. Our wages and costs are so adapted to what running machines cost, that it has become entirely infeasible to make good manually and still charge reasonable prices.

As someone who has lost a fair bit of weight quickly once (a little over ten or so pounds in about a month, I think?) it was not fun. I wanted to lose the weight for quite some time, but losing it made me realize my current weight is what’s healthiest for me. I lost it during my schools musical. They only had one pair of pants for my costume that was the right size for my legs, unfortunately, the waist was a bit over two inches smaller than I needed. They couldn’t do any adjustments to said pants so I needed to keep those on for rehearsals, dance numbers, really all of the time. I did have a costume change, but those pants were just as tight around the waist. I couldn’t eat, it restricted me to the point where I couldn’t eat in costume because the slightest change in my stomach would be unbearable, so I just didn’t. I already have low iron, so I was consistently dizzy, and when I wasn’t wearing my costume I couldn’t eat as much as my body needed because I just didn’t have the appetite anymore. TL;DR, Robin is right, losing weight with minimal effort can be awful. And caused me several head injuries due to lightheadedness.

15:39 I believe what was said was supposed to be taken as a “How about you don’t?” as politely rude as possible.

"A man should spend 20% of his yearly salary on a ring" Dude, if I loved the guy enough and we had a fun/meaningful relationship, I wouldn't care what kind of ring he proposed to me with, be it a handmade ring made out of wood or whatever material he had available, or even a ring pop.

To quote an old drug PSA, “Choosing beggars are dorks. Don’t even *talk* to them.”

1:41 I am a girl, and I can confirm on behalf of all other *reasonable* girls that we do not agree with the crazy lady.

Honestly I really like the idea of the Buy Nothing groups, even if it does have some weird stuff on there. My Mom has an old iPad she might get rid of, and we have a few old monitors around the house. If I saw that I might take the time to go down there and drop it off. If I was the stereotypical "my kid doesn't deserve the PS5 anymore" awful parent, giving it to someone else seems like a better and less wasteful option than just throwing it away.

okay, about the crochet clothes, honestly she's right. i don't sell my crochet and if i did i would only sell plushies and bags because the one time i decided to crochet a pullover it took me a literal month. i imagine it would take less if it was my full-time job and i had 8 hours a day to sit down and crochet, but also you physically cannot crochet for 8 hours straight every single day because it can very seriously injure your hands and wrists with the repetitive motions, and crochet specifically has the added point that it can't be done by machine at all, every single stitch must be done individually by hand. it takes 2 hours to make something that can fit inside my hand. imagine a full article of clothing.

3:29 “please no hate comments” *posts anonymously* We can tell why they’d do that

I've had a messed up drink at Starbucks at least three times. I've never drank any because it was either not my taste or dangerous. I'd always try to speak up as soon as possible despite being an absolute doormat and a people pleaser. I asked immediately once because the lady forgot to change the milk to oatmilk. It's not just a preference of mine but I'm also lactose intolerant which makes it worse. So I immediately went to the cashier as soon as I noticed the inconsistency in the bill. And the cashier was super apologetic. Since the drink was half made they were able to salvage it. Another time they straight up made another drink. My drinks of choice are very simple. An iced or hot small latte with oatmilk. And the guy handed me an americano. I told him he messed up. He read on the cup and made a new drink. The third time I got really pissed. The lady mistook three of the same drinks as frappuccinos and added whipped cream on them. I tried to ask the lady which kind of whipped cream she used on top. She didn't answer me or didn't understand me for some reason. And offered to do a new drink all together. The other lady said to just take out the whipped cream and it was all good. I would've drank it as is if it didn't have milk in it. Since I can't drink it! I think it also happened on my birthday. What a good day to have.

I actually had a couple of women come through my drive thru and a restaurant I work at and they ordered two meals and then ate the chicken and not the sides and then came back and demanded a refund and were shocked when we said no cause they already ate the food. Had to call the cops and everything they made such a scene.

9:35 you're not insane. Clothes and labor are probably worth a lot more than $200

I don't know how my mom didn't get the idiot choosing beggars like in this vid when she still hand made Native American Regalia. She made Fancy Shawls and Jingle Dresses at 800-1500$ a dress and people paid that happily. She was and still is a fantastic seamstress. WhiteDoveCreations is her IP name. She also makes 1:1 MLP Plushes (doesn't do that anymore since the fandom died).

The one old tenant who got the free food felt like his response could have actually been light hearted. Like I would joke like that with my friend after getting random free stuff like "it better be good," but it just looks bad in text, so you should never do that with strangers.

Editor Kenny is best character

15:50 my dad works in the air force and he wouldn't even ask if there was a discount because he just found it weird.

The babysitting job at 3:39 offers $4.17/hr… For 12hrs/day For a toddler and a 6yr old…

9:12 150 hours of work for $125??? I’m overwhelmed by how little she’s getting out of this

About that ring situation, I agree with Robin (as a female). My mother bought the wedding rings for her and my father. She said she got the set (I think of 3 rings) of rings for under R4000. (approximately 214, 70 USD). But then again, she bought it in like.. The year 2004. But still.

19:33 Reminder that just cause someone has nice things doesn't mean they aren't homeless or in a bad finance spot. They could be things they prioritized over a house or something they had before. But they totally took advantage of how much food they could get.

Was Robin really in FNAF and Poppy Playtime? That's cool

I like the fact that the editor of EmKay is an Ereshkigal fan from Fate/Grand Order, really knows the pain of Eresh working tirelessly and without pay sorting the souls in the underworld

Military discounts are weird too. It’s a job. They choose it.

31:29 that listing is in Australia and that is highly illegal here. I would straight up report this to the fair work commission.

I've had this happen so many times as a chef I've literally signed contracts got full time work pulling in 46 - 60 hours a week and expected to do 3 jobs for the price of 1.... I dropped them jobs ain't worth the stress

These make me realize how screwed it is that I clean my town's police dept and city hall for $50

regarding the influencer and restauraunt thing: responding to someone being a jackass with sexism is hardly the right way to go about it, even if they were justified in retorting back to them. Robin was right to think that it was a weird conversation.

"Beggars cant be choosers 🤓" Vs "Beggars can be choosed 🗿"

honestly what surprises me most is how many of those people put their addresses on their original post :P like if i lived nearby i'd totally print out the post and just put it up on the street next to their house so people can judge :'D

14:18 the recipient should have said "curse you and curse your children". 😉 ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Return to sender.

Eggshell neighbor seems alright tbh. He thanked the guy for the eggshells. He suggested rinsing out eggshells before donating them, which would honestly be really good for the donor, not having to deal with yolked-up shells before donation; I'm sure it also helps with the neighbor's application of said shells, but he's not angry or anything and seems to be making a simple offhand suggestion. He also wasn't demanding more, suggesting this was plenty for now. Maybe something else was happening behind the scenes, but from what we're show, things seem reasonably wholesome.

30:50 I wonder how the court would react to seeing that post

if my boyfriend proposed to me with an expensive ring I would be kinda upset, like bro cant we use that for a nice life? same goes for expensive weddings

4:02 Sounds like their Tinder profiles kept getting reported so now they're begging for a "roommate."

1:39 Female here ✋ And honestly, I don’t care if my boyfriend proposes to me with a Ring Pop, it would be funny as all heck!!! As long as the wedding ring looks cool and lasts, I really don’t care how much it cost.

1:55 As one of the girls, I can say I definitely don’t care about how much money is spent on a ring. Like shit I don’t even want a diamond in mine if I ever get engaged. Just a gold basic ring. Honestly I don’t care about the ring, if ring is only thing you care about when getting engaged and then married…maybe it’s not the ring that’s the problem☠️

"We're looking for a hybrid office worker/childcare assistant" is a funny way of saying, "I don't want to pay for a secretary AND daycare, so I figured I could lump the jobs into one and pay them half as much!"

Every time robyn reminds us he played foxy in that funny lil animated series, my inner child heals a bit

@13:00 People shouldn't be allowed to deny strangers access to their homes to use the pool the owner pays for and maintains. People shouldn't be allowed to have cars unless they leave the keys inside so strangers who don't own a car can freely use it whenever they want. People shouldn't be allowed to have more than one set of clothes unless they allow strangers to come inside their house whenever they want and borrow any clothes at any time. People should be allowed to have things unless everyone else in the world can have access to use those things. Also, 100% this bitch is the kind that would let her kids run wild in a pool, not pay any attention to them, have one get hurt or even drown, and then blame/try to sue the pool owner who wasn't home and never gave them permission to be there.

Babe wake up, new r/choosingbeggars video just dropped.

31:54 my dad was a musician who constantly struggled with establishment owners who always fell back on that classic form of compensation: "exposure." As if his time and skills meant nothing.

18:12 imo this isnt terrible, of course im always scared of asking for more when ive already asked for a favor, but i think if this was just worded better it would be more clear. "hey, thanks for the eggshells! if its not too much trouble, would you mind rinsing them too next time? thanks so much." just seems like an older person not quite understanding tone over text

Love the missed censor at 19:43... emkay needs to release MORE of their stuff uncensored (though I admit the sound-effect and word-substitution censorship can be funny too)

17:29 Can someone explain? Whats the guy asking for?

1:47 as a wedding anniversary gift? Debatable. As a wedding proposal gift, no, I'm not propose to you with $3k to $6k ring

3:23 The fact that they ended with "Please no hate comments" seems to me like they know what they're asking for is insane

I don’t think the guy at 7:35 *wanted* his mom to get him a girlfriend, I think she did this without his permission. She’s a self described helicopter parent too which is just gross, but if fits the situation.

16:56 oh goodie, everything you need to unalive me, chop me up, and feed me to the neighborhood dogs. Where do I sign up? 🙄😂

Adding “leith Pierre reads reddit memes for KZfaq videos as a job” to the Poppy playtime lore.

12:55 How to cope with the fact that you literally can go to popular beaches due to the possibility that it's safer due to more people being there!

My parents got silver rings with garnets, because frugality. Married for over three decades and one of the most solid relationships I've ever seen. That's the relationship goal. Not wasting money on vanity...

Man, I wish I had the audacity of some of these people 😂

Editor Kenny: “………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………no”

16:15 As someone from a military family that utilizes the military discount, my active duty father would NEVER request a military discount when making purchases like this. How humiliating for that buyer.
