r/Choosingbeggars Seeking Babysitter + Love-slave. Pay: $5/hour

- Äas pĆidĂĄn 3. 08. 2024
- r/Choosingbeggars In today's episode, OP is a young babysitter looking for work. She interviews with a Karen who seems to imply that she wants OP to join her in the bedroom. Karen intentionally lied to OP about how much money she was going to make. It turns out that the babysitting job includes cleaning, childcare, and "satisfying" Karen in the bedroom for a measly $5 per hour.

Karen: "Do you have any interest in doing some dog-walking assignments?"
OP: "Ma'am, this is DoorDash."
P
you said u wanted fresh dog?
Dog driving then
Oh, she thought it was DogSmash!
No, this is Patrick!!!
"idk if OP is suited to be taking care of ANOTHER animal" got me đđ
I was wondering if anyone else caught this! XD
"I *HATE* rude people."
_Literally flips out over being denied a low ball offer_
Hypocrites, amirite?
I remember this one DoorDash driver that didnât get the drink with my meal one time. Not her fault, our local Wendyâs fucks orders up all the time and didnât put it out for her. But she felt so bad about she went and bought me ANOTHER SODA DOWN THE STREET WITH HER OWN MONEY! I couldnât believe it and thank/tip her enough. Some of these drivers take a lot of pride in their work and still gotta put up with shit like this.
You definitely got one of the good ones. Unfortunately for every driver that is neutral to going above and beyond, you have the really bad/apathetic ones. Hence why some people really don't like these services.
I had something similar, the driver got to my apartment building, but dropped my drinks when coming up the stairs, she delivered the food, drove out to 7-11 and bought some drinks and brought them back for me. I honestly was stunned.
@@daniellepullman4074 Iâve had some bad drivers in my time as well, and doordash as a service can be really shit sometimes. But regardless of who takes and serves my food itâs best to treat them with the same decency and respect that I would want too myself.
We've only had one driver who brought one drink instead of two. We would have understood if there hadn't been a receipt on the bag that said 2 drinks. All they had to do was take 5 seconds to check. They can't check the food, but they can see the order is supposed to have 2 drinks. We were polite about it, of course. It wasn't worth them going out of their way.
Otherwise, all our other drivers have been fantastic, so we still enjoy DoorDash overall. It's a super emergency thing for us, so we're grateful to get anything really.
I once forgot to change the address on my DoorDash app, and so accidentally sent my driver fifteen minutes out of the way to my former place of work. She was super chill, and was willing to drop by my house and give me my order after her next one. Best BELIEVE I had a second tip waiting for her when she got here!
Tiramisu
Ingredients
For the Coffee Mixture
-1 1/2 cups espresso
-1/2 cup dark rum
For the Mascarpone Filling
-16 ounces mascarpone (cream cheese is acceptable)
-1/4 cup dark rum 60ml, for the mascarpone
-6 large eggs
-2/3 cup granulated sugar
-2 cups heavy whipping cream
-2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Assembly
-1/3 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
-40 lady fingers You may need a few more or less depending on your dish.
Combine the coffee and 1/2 cup of dark rum in a medium bowl then mix together and set aside. You can omit the rum and add a dash of vanilla with some more coffee for soaking or you can add a favorite liqueur like Kahlua, Grand Marnier, or Godiva.
Transfer the mascarpone to a large bowl then pour in 1/4 cup of dark rum and mix together until well combined. You can use an electric hand mixer or a whisk for this step.
Add the egg yolks and sugar to a double boiler or glass bowl. Whisk together then place over a pot of simmering water making sure the water does not touch the bowl. Whisk over heat until sugar has dissolved and the mixture is light yellow in color and thickened a bit.
Pour the egg yolk mixture into the mascarpone and whisk until combined. You can use an electric hand mixer for this step if desired. Place in the refrigerator until needed.
Add the cold cream and vanilla extract to the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or a large bowl if using an electric hand mixer. Mix on low for about 30 seconds then slowly increase speed to high. Beat until the whipped cream has stiffer peaks but keep an eye on it because it will curdle into butter if over-whipped.
Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture. You can run a whisk through it at the end to mix in any remaining unmixed bits.
Dip the top and bottom of your lady fingers briefly in the coffee mixture. They sop up the liquid quickly so they don't need more than 2 seconds of dipping. Arrange the lady fingers in the 9x13 dish as you go. They should be places so there are no gaps.
After the bottom layer of dipped ladyfingers is arranged in the dish add half of the mascarpone mixture on top and smooth out to the edges using an offset or rubber spatula.
Dip more ladyfingers, arranging them on top of the filling as you go. Once the dish is fully covered add the remaining mascarpone mixture and smooth out.
Dust top with cocoa powder and chill overnight. You tiramisu needs time to set up or it will be a delicious mess
Cool
Iâm currently unsure how this is related to the video but Iâm still grateful for it.
Do you think the flavor would be affected if I leave the nail polish on the lady fingers? What about gel nails?
Thanks for the recipe đ
Random, but thank you đ
OP: âWe agreed to two fifty!â
Karen: âYes, you agreed to $2.50 per hour.â
OP: âYou told me $250 per week!â
Good on OP for walking out. Assuming OP also had some proof of the conversation, I would have also taken Karen to small claims.
Or at least spread the word locally so that others didn't get conned.
250 a week is still pretty shitty
Would of walked away too, she probably never got another babysitter with those prices.
@@bryn1063 - and any she did get wouldn't have been at all trustworthy - but hey, who cares about their own child's physical or mental wellbeing when it comes to saving money?
@@franl155 Yeah I rather save a few bucks.
I order food on apps specifically so I don't have to talk to anyone.
Agreed, I end up either stuttering or standing there like a deer staring at headlights
I'm sure the drivers don't want an essay either
Unfortunetly, we, the staff, still need to talk to the delivery drivers.
Quite often they are the absolute worst.
Same
Yep, I donât wanna talk, just put my food down and leave. Thank you!
my brother is a graphic designer and his average commission for cover art for albums is like 200, so 150 for a whole children's book is literally unheard off, the lady is insane not to take that deal
It really depends on the artist, for instance, some professional artists get paid 300⏠per illustration, some asks for 35âŹ
rSlash: " slash... threesome mistress...?"
Me: "I believe the term you're looking for is 'unicorn', Dabney"
Yeah. They are called âunicornsâ because people are always hunting them, and yet they never appear if theyâve got any self-preservation instinct.
So when I was sick with Covid and really stressed and with a bad fever and depressed, I got my groceries delivered. And I was so grateful I sent the delivery driver a super long text thanking her and explaining how much it meant to me. I work at the zoo and sent her pictures of her favorite animal, and she hasnât taken me up on it yet, but I told her Iâd take her on a tour of the zoo as a thank you. Sheâd been having a rough day and apparently was really touched and it made her cry. We went on a thirty minute text exchange about it đ never even saw her face. Maybe itâs a southern thing? Idk. We talk a lot. But it was a nice moment between two strangers connected by a grocery delivery during a challenging time
Edit: to be clear, unlike the woman in the video, I did not ask her if she would walk our giraffes
I mean... I would probably take the offer to walk a giraffe... When will you ever get a chance to walk a wild animal???
@@Kichixchan I love lions and tigers because they are literally amazing. Once I was with My x and I chuffed at a tiger and she chuffed back at me!!! I was so delighted
@@Silver_wind_1987_ Animals are amazing! :D
In regards to the Doordash story, I have two similar ridiculous cases:
The first was when I delivered an order from Walmart to the address given, but apparently it was meant to be a surprise order (which I was not made aware of when I shot them a confirmation message.) Then, on top of that, they got pissed when I did not wait more than the allotted wait period; they wanted me to deliver it to them in person but they "had to finish a few errands and would be there in about 30 minutes". I'm willing to bet money that this idiot was the one who gave me a 1 star review when all the others who have rated me have given me 5 stars.
The second was when the customer gave me the wrong address completely. The lady shot me a text saying that I should have known her CORRECT address was across the street from the one I was given.
I had a customer where the delivery address was a commercial building. Didn't list a suite number or a floor or a business name. Instructions said "Leave at my door". So I left it outside the building door, confirmed it and drove away.
Got a text that said "Nooooo you're supposed to bring it to me on the 2nd floor. You can't leave it outside!"
The app gives you a place to put apt/unit/suite/room numbers and delivery instructions for a reason.
I've had two reasons ever to text my Uber Eats driver: to warn them about the hole in the private road my house is on, and to advise them to take it easy on a particularly tricky stretch of the road that leads to my neighborhood during inclement weather. Never really for my own gratification. And just because my neighborhood is kind of a pain to get to relative to most suburban areas around here, I always tip the max on the preset tips. Custom added during inclement weather.
The only reason Ive messaged a doordash driver is to tell them where my apartment is because it's literally a maze
I've sent messages to a door dasher quite a bit. Usually it's just a thank you for their time picking up and delivering my food. The other times have been when the app has given them a messed up set of GPS directions to my house, or they are running late and I politely ask how things are going since I know they sometimes pick up multiple orders from the same place.
We only had to text a dasher once, because the restaurant had forgotten a part of our order. They were great, went and got it for us. We tipped well. We rated well too. Dashers are super!
Sometimes, I see the door dash driver circle my apartment 2+ times, and I will send them a message "if youre on Y street, facing X street, turn right immediately before the lights. the door is under the overhang, callbox is on the right." I literally do not text them unless i visibly see them circle the building twice.
I can't be the only one who thinks $150 is hella cheap for artwork for an entire children's book.
Edit: Didn't watch all the way. I paused before Rslash looked into the cost. A lot of artists charge $150 for some pretty detailed artwork and I'm an artist myself, and I couldn't help but think how cheap $150 is.
Yeah, I guess it depends. If its for a single book for one parent, I can see doing a discount (even though its functionally the same work). If books actually made much money I'd say go profit share, but honestly your probably better off with a flat payday unless you can really bulk those kids book illustrations.
Considering children's books are about 20-30 pages in length & require an illustration on at least every other page, I would say $150 (or about $10-15 per picture) is very cheap!
@@ralph8677 Depends how detailed the picture are and some people really low ball their trade
As an artist, 150 is definitely way too low for multiple drawings. Especially if a drawing takes a few hours. Basically min wage or below if you have lots of drawings.
@@bread9173 Too many desperate artists.
My best friend and I work door dash together and thatâs absolutely not normal. And those bags are sealed and waiting or if we have to wait for the food we donât get to give any instructions to the restaurant on behalf of the customer. So idk what kind of drugs that lady is using but thatâs not normal and itâs weird as hell:
Geez these people who want to hire people at a slave rate need to have CPS called on them.
Did anyone else catch that the last person said permanent disability "right now."
Lady. You never get off of permanent disability. Hence the name PERMANENT.
I assumed the CB in the first story was a woman, and RSlash read the story that way, but then the Door Dash driver addressed the CB as âSirâ and I was taken by surprise. You know what they say about assuming đ
I am a daycare worker, a parent of one of the kids in my group asked me to babysit for them. From first impressions, I knew they were super sweet; and I was right, these people paid me MORE then we had agreed on, because they thought 15$ per hour was too cheap to watch 2 kids (their kids are literally angels) and they also ordered food and got some for me. I love these people and I'd babysit any day for them, I cannot imagine working for people as entitled as these choosing beggars and I'm glad I don't have to!
I once had my DoorDash delivered to the wrong address by accident (was my fault forgot to change the address) and I messaged my driver to let them know and they were super super sweet about it and even brought it to the right address! Still the best driver I ever had
I hope you tipped well!
I've got a bit of experience in the babysitting department. My Mom had a legit licenced Daycare for 35+ years until she "Retired" to work for the School District Full Time. I also "free lanced" as a teenager on evenings and weekends. YES, RSlash you ARE correct when you said "My husband thinks you're really [insert compliment here]" is a sign to GTFO. Hell, my MOM wound up with a stalker I guess you could say due to this. (He would do the heavy breathing calls, constantly ask to "meet up", the "sexy voice" calls type of thing with NO regard as to who actually picked up the phone aka one of us kids). She finally figured out who it was and agreed to "meet up" WITH the CHIEF OF POLICE (whose kids she also watched) as her "chaperone". That FINALLY got the point across and the creepy calls finally stopped. This happened way before caller ID or even *69 were a thing. That was also when "Sawed Off S.O.B." became a common name in our house referring to the "stalker".
I always feel sorry for my Doordash drivers, those poor guys get lost trying to find my apartment. They eventually call so I can help them but sometimes it gets frustrating living in a place so obscure you couldn't find it with a seeing eye dog & a Ouija Board.đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
I hope that everyone is having a good Wednesday!
I'm having a good Thursday đ
I hope everyone is haveing a good day because I have 3 test and they are major
Ya man just got up from studing from whole night. So a good Wednesday. Perfect starting
Im having a terrible Wednesday, girlfriend's entire computer and email adress got hacked and comprimised, we can't communicate for a while
My dude
"I'll be in the market for a nanny, ( not just a babysitter)" So, 6 bucks an hour? " for babysitting and light housework, yes" How amazing when pay became an issue, it's now a babysitting job.
That babysitting job was way too sus. Like how the heck would you live on $1,100 a month??? No way!! And you totally dodged being involved in a weird messy situation
I used to "babysit" for a family friend as a favour because she needed a legal adult (I was 18/19) in her home while she worked overnight. She had adopted her 2 nephews who were both under 10 but her kids were all teenage girls and couldn't legally look after them. I would literally just put them to bed and watch films/bake/have fun with the girls. It was more like house sitting tbh and because of the weird thing of me technically looking after the 2 nephews, I had to get paid so I only charged her like ÂŁ10 a night because I got free food, did basically no work and slept in a giant bed for the night.. technically, I made like 80p an hour but it was a favour rather than a job to me so I didn't care. But for someone who's looking for a job in childcare, getting paid peanuts is actually insulting.
I never thought there was an issue with teenagers regularly looking after kids under 10 [assuming they're not toddlers or babies]. Was the mother being monitored by CPS or something?
@@limiv5272 I'm from the UK and her nephews were adopted because their parents weren't fit to look after them (neglect, abuse towards their mum and drug use mainly) so social services were involved a lot to make sure their aunt could care for them properly.
@@quintecence I guess I kinda assumed social services would be out of the picture once an adoption went through, interesting. It was good of her to take the kids in, hope they're all doing well
I think those CB's offering $250 a week and then claiming it was $2.50 an hour know what they're doing. How many times have we seen in-home, full time nanny ads with pay which is next to nothing? They probably realize they can't get anyone that way so misrepresenting the amount of pay is the next step.
Heck I did not even know you could text your food delivery driver!
DoorDash lady actually surprised me. I thought in the end she would send some scathing messages because the meal wasn't exactly as she hoped, even though she said stuff like "if not possible, it's all good". Or because the delivery person refused to take the dog out.
People pay min 300$ for a book cover not the whole book đ
I love how you said "I don't think this guy is super suited to be taking care of ANOTHER animal"
RSlash: the Choosing Beggar in the Doordash story is a guy. as OP referred to them as "Sir."
So it's not a Karen, but yes a Kevin.
An entitled jerk who lacks common sense and introspection is a Karen.
A self-assured idiot who thinks they're the best despite being dangerously incompetent is a Kevin.
Gender doesn't really come into this.
Thank you RSlash for having common sense. I am a doordash driver, and I hate when customers say "Make sure you check my order!" And to that I can't. That seal is there, and if I break it I can be accused of tampering your food. All I can do is ask if everything is in the bag. If the restaurant says yes, then it's out of my hands. So people need to stop blaming dasher for this, and actually blame who is really at fault.
as someone who deals with art on a fairly regular basis, 150 for an entire book is absolutely nothing, even if it only has like 10 pages or something, that's incredibly cheap
I was a nanny after high school. I swear I could write a bestseller about sh*t people asked of me, expected of me, and just crazy situations that happened while on the job. You would think these parents would be willing to pay a fair amount for someone taking care of their freaking children.
I did babysitting for a neighbor for $5 an hour(just one three year old)... Back in 2008. He was a good kid, but never told you when he messed himself.
14:56
Now thatâs family bonding
Holy, imagine someone is coughing and you get the Mega cancer from that.
CB promised $11.00 per hour, then backtracks to say $1,100 per month. She sure loves moving decimal places around when it suits her!
I can relate with the tall brother. I'm 6'9 myself, I have a busted right knee and as such, I'm also physically unable to sit in most regular public transportation seats. If I can pay extra for more leg room, I will, just so I can guarantee I can actually sit during travel. It's a bit of a hurdle to be sure, but it's life for tall people. Good on him for not giving up the seat.
Being the worker who puts door dash orders with fries together, we do get calls about them being cold when it's been 20 minutes after the delivery đ€Ł
I WAS GONNA SAY. $150 for a KIDS BOOK? I've paid commissioned art of my OCs around that price point. A singular picture! That artist is underselling themselves
RSLASH: Its the one thing we spend a lot of money on.
Me: except your new baby I'd assume.
That first story is why my snacks stay in my drawer and only I get to eat them. People suck.
Your videos have taught me that, in the event I sell anything, if someone starts by offering me peanuts for my item, to block the person outright. It's difficult to believe there is a lower level to "rock bottom", but when the conversation begins at rock bottom, you can bet that it can only go lower.
In that last Post OP forgot to add, Glass bones and paper skin too.
The one with the wife looking for the free upgraded seat reminded me of a trip I took a few years ago. My husband booked our flight (us and our son) to Florida. He wasnât able to get three seats next to each other, so I was going to be sitting with our son and he was going to be elsewhere. He flew a lot for work, so when he checked in he was offered an upgrade to first class. Loving man that he is, he opted to see if the person sitting with my and and me would mind switching seats. The guy sighed, said âYeah, sureâŠâ in a resigned, unhappy voice and then asked where he was going. His face when he found out was priceless.
Iâm a door dash driver and while that choosing beggar was being ridiculous, door dash instructs the drivers to check the food before leaving even if itâs already sealed. It ensures the food isnât stale, made correctly, or missing something.
That sounds like a bs policy that puts more liability on the driver
The last commentary by Rslash: well, that sarcasm escalated quickly... lol
Mmm those chocolates sound heavenly.
Also doordash drivers; the people at the restaurants are in charge of bagging. We try and make it fresh as soon as we get the order. Donât let assholes walk all over you.
Had a doordash driver communicate he picked up my order after a long wait and a mistake through 4 emojis. I sent back a smile and a thumbs up. Best conversation I've had on doordash.
As a doordash driver, I can say these are some things us doordashers have to deal with:
-Sometimes the restaurant will not have the food ready. If you order from Five Guys, they will not prepare the food until the driver arrives to ensure freshness.
-The stickers on the bag are tamper seals. Us drivers do not touch them to make sure that the food gets to your house with the guarantee everything is in place.
-The worst tip I've ever had from a customer was a whopping $0.01 over a place that is known for having an exceedingly long wait in the drive thru. Especially during dinner rush.
-If this person texted them while they were on the road, there is a 90% chance they didn't see it until arriving at the house. Since us doordashers prioritize our safety over a text message while driving.
3 years strong of taking morning poops and listening to r/slash.... keep up the good work!
The last one was close to a bingo!
I'm an illustrator and animator and my jaw hit the floor when she said ÂŁ150 for the whole book.
Not even that much, $150 isnât much more than ÂŁ100
I hope you had a great birthday yesterday! Thanks for giving me a reason to be awake by 7 am! đ
restaurant togo worker here, so we put that online "thx for ordering" stickers so all the delivery like uber or doordash so they cant tamper or eat with the food like you said. And yes the door dashers are normally like 10 mins to and hour late and rarely never at all
Lolol this person was excited for their McDonalds, sometimes I'll have funny conversations with my Dashers but never like this lol.
Yeah, I agree, the price quoted for the children's book is amazing! OP shouldn't sell themselves short!
The first one is perfect... "UGH, who brought in this chocolate that doesn't taste like vomit? Disgusting!"
I work in the restaurant industry and the reason the bags are sealed with door dash is because door dash doesnât want to get blamed for mess up orders that were the restaurantâs fault. Theyâre basically making sure they and their drivers wont be blamed for messed up orders.
"my husband is a first responder" is an automatic red flag that someone is trying to take advantage of you.
Why do people expect artists to work for free because they "LOVE" their work so much, but as soon as the artist asks to be paid fairly their work sucks?
this might be the earliest I've ever gotten to a video that wasn't live/premiered
Lol I think the person in the doordash story was fine after they realized the food wasnât up to them, by helping the driver find a spot to park. The dog walking thing was weird but not creepy or anything. Who doesnât want dog pictures?? đ Love your content r have a great day man! And congratulations on the new addition to your family!
If only there was only an appliance that is used to heat food up after it has been cooked âOH WAIT, THE MICROWAVEâ (problem solved đ)
For the last story, Karen forgot to mention that it's Christmas, too!
Professional illustrator here: even $1000-1500 is a steal. It's actually quite normal for the going rate to complete an entire kids book to be in the 10k range in some places. In highschool I accepted $200 to illustrate a kids book for a client to gift to one of her students who was going through some rough stuff, and I thought that was pricey as a teen. Come university time, I was shocked when one of my professors showed us some of her work in progress stuff for the kids book she was hired to illustrate and she explained how much to typically charge and what to earn. Kids books are no joke
Doordash (not exactly same brand but same concept) - we get all the food sealed and don't even get to see what is in there. We just take the bag, carefully place the bag in my insulated bag and make sure I don't flip it outside down. Other than that, nothing is in my handsđ€Ł
That's how I assumed it worked. I mean, the restaurants probably *can't* legally let you pack the bags or anything - the delivery service is an entire separate company. That's why I tip the rider through the app then just take the bag and thank them, without opening it up and digging through it in front of them.
@@suitov thanks for being awesome â€ïž
Babysitting sounds like a great way to accidentally find yourself battling the entire Entitled Family Force.
EM (Karen): "Timmy! Tommy! Jimmy! Tammie! Form... arms and legs! Kevin! Form... the body! And I'll form... the head! Together, we are... MEGA-KAREN!"
As a door dasher, I have never encountered anything like that one lady
$150 for the illustration of a full childrenâs book? If I was looking for quotes on that and I got a $150 quote I would start getting suspicious of such an amazing price
I was once flying with my whole family and a family friend (6 in total) where a husband asked my brother to switch seats with him so he could sit with his wife. He had a first class seat⊠and he just let my brother have it. THEN the guy gave my brother $300 for the inconvenience and as a thank you. The flight attendants saw what happened and asked my sister, who was next to my brother, if she would like to sit with my brother in first class because the seat was unclaimed. The husband was really cool about it, like he didnât ask to switch back and make them upgrade his wife. He told us, âI fly first class everywhere for business, you both enjoy sitting up there. Drinks are on me.â Typical dad joke. I told my siblings to really remember how this guy treated them and how kind and generous he was because theyâll likely never experience another person like him again.
Im a published illustrator, i just had my first children's book released! (32 pages) i worked with a publisher who did all the arrangements, and got paid $1650AUD. $150 is disgraceful.
Value your art, kids
The thought of cancer via twin telepathy is way funnier than it should be
âDelivery instructionsâ Lady you have a microwave. đ
I work at a place that gets a lot of DoorDash orders. We always bake the pretzels fresh and never take online orders out of the warmer. We also seal the bags and tape the receipt to it. Then we put the bag on top of the oven to keep it warm until it gets picked up
Was watching Mega School driving video yesterday and the guy who got side swiped was listening to R/slash
You're the best man!
Chick-fil-A worker here: Every single delivery order (DD, GH UE) has to have stickers on the bags. Those stickers are the absolute worst too, if one just grazes the bag as youre trying to put it on, it will stick and rip, that's how sticky they are. (Main reason I hate bagging front counter haha) Also, from the time a delivery order is placed we probably have made at least 5 new batches of fries before the food even gets bagged. We have guests all the time ask to make sure their fries are fresh, and in the DT it's almost guaranteed that there will have been multiple batches made and bagged before theirs gets bagged.
Rslash: wanted to make a children's book for his kid
Fresh: wanted to make a children's book for a bit in his video
Um, no. Unless there's an issue like an item unavailable, I never message the drivers. LOL
My jaw dropped at 150$ for illustration of a whole book! Iâd jump on that so fast if I liked their style of art! I have book ready to go and everything. Itâs about t-Rex lol
Imagine if that delivery was from five guys , where they dump fries in the bag on purpose ahahhaa
It's amazing after hearing all these stories of choosing beggars. They never cease to amaze me with their level of entitlement. This phenomenon is mind boggling. But, they are not rational people after all. My brain just wants to make sense of it all regardless. Truly endless entertainment.
As someone who works in a VERY POPULAR burger/fast food restaurant, I always find it really funny when people ask for fresh fries because we have to toss fries after a certain amount of time. There's literally a timer. And most of the time by the time people get up to the window they'll be ready so it really doesn't matter if people ask for "Cook to Order Fries"
$45 for a gecko? fuck yeah!
Iâve heard from my teachers (artists in the industry) that even as a newer artist it should be $150 per page at minimum for a book
At least the customer in the first story understood the concept of dog tax.
Yay for 3 hours of sleep, at least I can enjoy this early.
The last story your wedding anniversary is Halloween that explains a lot
Today I lost my grandad to Alzheimer's...... Thank for letting me switch off for some minutes, this is really great to try to forget about things! đđđđ
At least the last Karen did not say "My husband is a co-joined twin with himself"
I did the "nanny" job for my sister. Take the 9and 7 year olds to school and pick up. Take care of the 2 year old all day. 7am- 9-10pm M-F. Make breakfast, lunch for kids and dinner for the whole family every night. Also did the shopping, cleaning and everyone's laundry (washed, dried and put away) also helped with homework and projects, made the sweets for the whole class once a month. Helped the kids get their baths and get into bed. Also took care of their chickens and rabbits. I did lose my shit at the dad when he brought home a stray Bassett hound, that had EXTREME separation anxiety. It would howl and freak out if it wasn't in the same room as me, so trying to lay the baby down for nap, or leave the house to pick up the older kids was a *nightmare* . It also wasn't house broken, so I told him I couldn't handle all that, while trying to train and housebreak the dog and potty train the toddler. So he found it a new home, but then 2 days later he brings home A MASTIFF PUPPY!!!! (Someone stole it from the backyard about 2 weeks in though. It was actually a relief to me tbh)
So did all this for the price of them paying for my car insurance for 6moths (it was $1,500 for 6 months because I had been in 3 wrecks in the year previous even though 2 of them I was not at fault, last a lady hit me while I was turning left so it was my fault technically). And $50 a week. Which didn't even cover my gas driving the kids to and from school.
He then gave me his credit card and got mad when I used it FOR GAS! lololol
The real kicker to all this was when he asked me "Soo are you saving any of the money I pay you to try to pay for the rest of your car insurance? ".
I added it up and even if I saved every penny of that $50 a week it wasn't even Half of what I needed to pay for the next 6 months of insurance.
I did this for them for over a year, really I did it for my sister because they were going thru a divorce and it was messy and her new work schedule wouldn't allow her more than 2 hours of sleep per day to be able to still take care of the kids the same way and work.
But yeah then the husband and I argued over something stupid and he fired me. He quickly realized his mistake when he found out the REAL price of just childcare alone. Without all the extra domestic duties stuff I did too. But he was too proud to admit that he was wrong in firing me.
That door dash lady is probably the nicest choosing beggar I've seen on here. She might be demanding but she at least doesn't seem entitled about it like the rest of them.
I find especially new artists really undervalue their work. The few times I have payed a small time illustrator for anything I have literally doubled their asking price and they have either produced something completely worth the cost or in a few cases gone above and beyond
@ 12:15, wow, a 1 year old and a 3 month old? Didn't the doctor tell them to hold off at all? There's only NINE MONTHS between those kids - what was going on in the post-birth room? YIKES!
My wife is an artist who got asked to illustrate a children's book but then things went south...long story short, he tried to convince her that he was going to sue her for her concept art because she wouldn't give it to him for free because they were "images based on my characters" so we went to a copyright lawyer and got a cease and desist letter sent to him.
14:47 that noise in the background creeped me out the first time.
The mega cancer bit at the end was hilarious
To the DoorDash question: yes on all counts. People ask me to do insane shit with reckless abandon. It's insane.
I think door dash lady saw dudes picture and has a little crush.
