Lowballer Says They Don't Know Who Stan Lee Is


Even if this is all a ruse to try to get a comic for 35 cents, this guy's efforts are laughable. Nice try, you stupid idiot. This isn't the worst outcome, sometimes lowballers get sent on a wild goose chase. The world has its fair share of entitled folks who need to leave and take their attitudes with them.

1.

Text - Text Message Yesterday 22:19 Hey is this the guy selling the signed comic? Yeah you got it. The only one I'm selling at the moment is up for $800. But if we do it direct I could maybe knock $100 off. Are you based nearby? Wut? You expect me to pay $700 for it? Just cos it's signed by some dude? Um yeah I do. It's an X-Men comic from the 70s that's signed by Stan Lee and Chris Claremont. They aren't just some dude. And that's about what you'd pay in US Dollars for one

2.

Text - The price on the comic says 35c. I'm not paying more than that What are you talking about Where On the listing? No on the front of the comic. 35c. I might pay $10 cause you got some dudes to sign it but I haven't even heard of those dudes Yeah we're done here. Common man don't be a dick. I'm a big marvel fan and so is my brother and imma getting it for him for Xmas. How about $20 delivered You're a big marvel fan but you haven't heard of Stan Lee

3.

Text - Nah I googled him and he ain't anyone. $20. Final offer Today 07:03 Okay, first off yes, the comic was 35c when it was published. In 1978. That's not it's price now. It's been graded by CGC as 8.5 and they witnessed Stan Lee and Chris Claremont sign it. Chris popularised X-Men over the 80s/early 90s, and Stan Lee created the X-Men, amongst others, and is synonymous with Marvel. This is worth a lot. I'm willing to sell to someone for roughly whatI paid in USD for it a couple years ago beca

4.

Text - a lot of these in New Zealand and I want others to have one, but what you are asking is preposterous. Imma report you for price inflation and deception. If there's a marked price on something then you gotta sell it for that. Cute, but that's not true. Hey come on fuck you man it's Christmas. I already told my brother I'm getting this for him. He's had a rough year man, his girlfriend dumped him and his new girlfriend is poor ??? Is this a prank ???

5.

Text - Cunt Hello Hello $40 final offer Hello Fuck you Fuck you How about I come steal it and that way you pay me to put up with this bullshit Yeah okay expect a phone call from the police.

Design Fail Gives Guy's Game Crazy Amounts of Dislikes


To be clear, the gameplay itself didn't warrant all the dislikes, but a very small design fail gave this game developer a big shock. It should provide at least a little peace of mind to find out that you didn't create something as universally hated as you thought. For some game related humor, here are some gaming memes.

I am a small game developer part-time (I also have a regular job). Since more than 1 year I have been working alone on a puzzle-platformer that I've been thinking of for 2 years.

2.

Text - It's a labor of love. After about a year of hard work, I had something that I was proud of, and that I considered ready for release. It's a web game and when you release a web game, what you usually do is that you put it on a game portal. Maybe you remember flash game portals where office workers were slacking off on in the 00's (personally for me it was at school). Well they are still a thing except games are not made in flash anymore, but the idea is the same. Also, when you are a web g

3.

Text - So anyway, I was ready to release my game, a bit apprehensive of course, I managed to get my game on a couple portals including a huge russian one. In Russia, my game got wrecked. Everybody hated it. My game is a 0.8/10. I'm not kidding, I don't think there is a worse game on this portal. It felt like shit, and I was very puzzled. Today, I showed it to a colleague at my normal job, explaining to him that russians hated my game. I clicked fullscreen. Then I noticed it. The downvote button

Text - So here I am, a bumbling idiot. Where any scammer in his right mind would have used this trick for evil and profit, instead I tricked them into burning me to the ground. TL;DR: spent more than a year making a game, released it on a Russian game portal where the restart button was right under the downvote button. Everybody restarted, everybody downvoted and now I am the proud maker on the worst web game in Russia

Wild Karen Goes Off On Student, Gets Told Off By Lab Manager


Karens have a really hard time mistaking other people for employees. This time around it was a pottery student who got trapped in the telescopic sights of a wild Karen who refused to believe that she was talking to a person who actually couldn't fulfill her demands.

Text - r/IDontWorkHereLady · Posted by u/Blgodwin 6 days ago I'm just a student Karen!! XL I was cleaning some kiln shelves off in the ceramics studio during open lab hours. A student and her mother came into the kiln yard and i overheard the student say "oh my pieces didn't get fired." Not my business, I'm just a student and I'm wrapping up my last personal firing of the semester. A few seconds later there is an aggressive, almost painful, tapping on my shoulder. "Why didn't her work get fired?

She keeps telling me I'm lazy and that firing takes no effort because the kilns are self-regulating. Our kilns are gas and need constant monitoring over several hours. Finally, my saving grace arrives. Our shop manager, who's kind of an asshole with a short fuse, but who I appreciate deep

Man Provides Perspective Shifting Story About Canteen Guy


What starts as a story about a guy's irritation over another guy's lateness to the job, ends up manifesting into an eye-opening rollercoaster, where the tardiness is clearly absolutely justified. We can all benefit from stories like this that are able to shift one's perspective.

Text - One morning, I phoned the canteen guy in our police station to quickly bring me some breakfast because I was starving. "Right away, sir," he said, but nevertheless arrived late in my office. By that time I was already furious for having had to wait nearly an hour for him but I said nothing to him.

Text - This scene happened again and again. Sometimes, l'd call him in the morning only to learn that he'd be on his way to the police station with his elder brother (who used to help him) and that he'll be there soon to prepare a nice breakfast and tea for me. Usually, he made me wait those long, irksome minutes unnecessarily. I had never visited the canteen as it's outside our boundary walls and because there wasn't a need for me to go there, I used to just order the food over the phone. Not o

Text - Suddenly, I stopped eating from there altogether. I knew they would notice the loss of business since I was a frequent and reliable customer and also because most of my other colleagues had never even eaten from his canteen before. Instead, they would go eat outside. He'd often pass by my room, expecting me to order something and watching some waiter bring me food from a nearby restaurant. I felt I had every good reason to justify what I did because I just needed better services but I mus

5.

Text - A few days later, I had some free time and was walking around. Somehow I ended up at the canteen in the morning. I saw him arriving on the bike with his brother, stopped at the canteen's door. He parked the bike and then carried his elder brother on his back like a dead weight and went inside the canteen and laid him on a table. His brother, as was clearly obvious, was completely physically handicapped, with disabled and shrunken legs due to polio.

6.

Text - I stood there watching.. I witnessed his sweat and heavy breathing due to carrying a huge man roughly twice his own weight. I mean.just looking at this scene was tiresome and fatiguing.

7.

Text - He said Hi to me and got on with cooking. That afternoon I called him to learn more about his story and it simply shook me. Though I knew he was a family man, and a father of four, and that his brother lived with him but he never mentioned his brother's disability. So he came and we talked. He said.
