18+ Times Choosing Beggars Made Us Want To Give Up On Giving
There might be nothing worse than the Choosy Beggar—we have all met one, even if we didn't recognize it at first.
They are the type of people who are first in line for the free handout, and also the first to complain about the quality. This list is dedicated to all those people who take the time to ask for more than their fair share.
Mechanics Are Skilled Tradespeople, Say It Louder
![Sign Sign at local mechanic's shop](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Sign-14251.jpeg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=442&left=8&zoom=1.54320987654)
Why do so many people think that they deserve a discount on vehicle repairs?
Mechanics are not making much profit on basic maintenance jobs, yet people still have the audacity to ask why it costs so much and takes so long.
How Much Exposure Is Too Much Exposure?
![Free Work Client asking professional photographer for free work](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Free-Work-91050.jpeg?width=800&height=766)
Photographers are constantly dealing with people low-balling them on pricing or asking for free photoshoots.
This person tried to offer a photographer social media "exposure" in return for a photoshoot, but that didn't fly with the photographer who said they're already as exposed as it gets.
That's Not How Any Of This Works
![Finance People asking to finance a home purchase with the seller via message exchange](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Finance-75626.jpeg?width=800&height=629)
For some reason, this discussion about buying a home is happening on Facebook.
The interested person who responded clearly does not understand that you can't set up a mortgage with the previous homeowner.
The Box Isn't The Expensive Part
![Nintendo Nintendo sealed in the box, text exchange about selling it with cheap person](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Nintendo-64027.jpeg?width=800&height=1202)
Certain people can't take no for an answer, even when they are told twice, in writing.
This person wanted to buy a brand new Nintendo Switch from someone online and really asked if they could get a discount if they agreed to purchase without the box.
Someone Save The Neighbor From This Woman
![Child Support Yahoo question about making male babysitter pay child support](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Child-Support-31493.jpeg?width=800&height=951)
There is likely a good reason that this woman is a single mom because it seems like she's willing to manipulate every man she comes into contact with, including the kind next-door neighbor.
Some parents will do anything for child support money.
No Thanks Necessary, Seriously
![Website Developer Website developer doing pro bono freelance work gets ridiculed](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Website-Developer-29016.jpeg?width=800&height=1225)
A freelancer practicing web development decided to offer a service where they make a website for free to gain experience.
Some random person got mad that the freelancer didn't pay for a domain name, which was never part of the plan.
When Your Scam Stops Working Properly
![Disney Plus Disney+ scam account email asking for password](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Disney-Plus-35065.jpg?width=800&height=1020)
This insane email came from someone who illegally purchased access to a Disney+ account on AliExpress.
The person who sent the email was likely also the victim of a scam, but either way, it's a no, Sean.
Gone, But Not Quite Forgotten
![Dirty Vacuum Free vacuum to person who complained there was still dirt in the canister](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Dirty-Vacuum-38483.jpeg?width=800&height=660)
Giving away something from your home helps declutter the space and you can usually say "out of sight, out of mind" once it's gone.
This woman did not have that opportunity because after giving away her free vacuum cleaner, the person who received it sent a message complaining about dirt and dust in the canister.
12 Might Be A Hard Year For Her
![Free Post asking for free products for child's birthday](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Free-11013.jpeg?width=800&height=455)
Who is going to break it to this parent that the things they want for their daughter are both hella expensive and not casual donations you can get from a friend?
It seems like there might be some tears this year.
Anyone Interested In Paying To Go To Work?
![Influencer Influencer asking someone to pay them and give them free products](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Influencer-74758.jpeg?width=800&height=1040)
This conversation goes off the rails fairly quickly when the client ends up proposing that the small business owner actually pays them.
Plus, they want the original product for free. Yeah, right.
There Is Not A Good Enough Selection In The Free Library
![Free Little Library Note left in the little library out front of home requesting better books](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Free-Little-Library-60461.jpeg?width=800&height=801)
A woman installed a "FreeLittleLibrary" in her front yard for people passing by and neighbors to use.
So naturally, she was surprised to find this choosy beggar's note that requested she throw out some old books and introduce some new ones.
"What's The Best Way To Steal From You?"
![Free Book Asking the author where their book can be pirated](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Free-Book-92341.jpeg?width=800&height=1205)
Imagine having the gall to contact an author and ask them how you can pirate their book, as this person did.
What is wrong with just paying creative people for the contributions they make?
Why Do They Keep Going Back?
![Free Meal Person gives free church Thanksgiving meal a one-star review](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Free-Meal-56547.jpeg?width=800&height=843)
When a local church is shelling out time, money, and volunteers to put on a free turkey dinner for the holidays, it's not in good faith to leave a one-star review online.
Still, these greedy people felt slighted by their free meal and wanted to complain.
Play Stupid Games, You Win Stupid Prizes
![Computer A $25 computer request](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Computer-61475.jpeg?width=800&height=1422)
It's hard to say whether this troll genuinely believed that they could purchase a $1,000 computer for $25 but they still tried.
The seller told them exactly where they could go to find what they need—Toys'R'Us.
Broke People Are Scamming
![Artist Text exchange from client and artist, client charged the artist back and denied it](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Artist-76183.jpeg?width=800&height=1483)
Being an artist is often not as rewarding for people as they hope and their hard work goes underappreciated.
This artist sent a painting to a customer and four months later the customer requested a "Charge Back" through PayPal to get a refund, then they denied it and blocked the artist.
Not All Business Is Good Business
![Custom Woodwork Conversation over labor prices for building a custom cutting board](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Custom-Woodwork-93167.jpeg?width=800&height=1560)
If you have never worked on any kind of woodworking project you might be shocked to find that it's not a cheap hobby.
This beggar should have known better if they really do have a "cabinet shop," but it seems like they're not worth the hassle.
This Person Can't Be Serious, Yet They Said They Were
![It's Sold Person trying to buy car for under asking prie that has already been sold](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Its-Sold-44972.jpeg?width=800&height=1310)
A confusing exchange between these two reveals that the potential buyer actually asked the seller to unsell the car and then resell it back to them for a lower price.
It must be so nice to live at the center of the universe in your own head.
Hopefully She Serves This Pasta With A Side Of Divorce
![Pasta Beggar Man complaining about the pasta his wife made him](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Pasta-Beggar-13496.jpeg?width=800&height=1153)
Presumably, this man's wife realized her husband was on his way home from work and whipped him up the best meal she could with what was in the kitchen.
Instead of saying thanks, or saying nothing, this jerk decided to shame her meal on social media. It's almost like he could have made his own dinner.
Does Anyone Want To Pay To Work At This Wedding? Only $100 Entry Fee
![Photography Post about a wedding request to a photographer](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Photography-45513.jpeg?width=800&height=759)
Wedding clients are often on another level of entitlement, but this is fairly demanding.
Thankfully, this photographer "doesn't need to pay to work," and who does, really? They shut down the bride's outrageous request ASAP.
A Bridezilla In The Making
![Ring Shaming Woman posts future engagement ring in Ring Shaming group on Facebook](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Ring-Shaming-61440.jpeg?width=800&height=1423)
First of all, why is there a Ring Shaming group on Facebook? Whatever goes on in there can't be good.
This woman's post is further proof because she managed to find her future engagement ring and decided to bash it online.
Might As Well Just Leave Them With An iPad
![Cheap Babysitting Woman looking for cheap babysitting on Facebook](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Cheap-Babysitting-61255.jpeg?width=800&height=971)
Childcare is one of the hardest jobs out there and somehow it remains one of the lowest-paid positions.
When you get what you pay for, and it comes to your children, don't you want to make sure you have the best? The person who pointed out the absurd rate was swiftly blocked.
He Had Time Today
![Fraud Man standing on roadside with sign, man with gas can behind him](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Fraud-67317.jpeg?width=800&height=623)
After helping him out once or twice, this Redditor (with the sign) found out that the man with the gas can was actually a fraud with a nice Jeep and a nice house.
He just patrols the streets begging people to help run his scam.
Choosing Beggar And Zero Manners
![square ad image - 2022-10-14T093542.671 someone writing an offended note about free food](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/square-ad-image-2022-10-14T093542.671-30156.jpg?width=800&height=800)
One person posted on Reddit about this rotten human being who was so offended by the local farmers.
"My local farmers/community generously put out produce/clothing/canned goods for anyone to take if they need and someone wrote this (the produce really is not that bad!)"
Trying To Match A Free Fridge To Their Appliances...
![Fo7jz2h free fridge asked for](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Fo7jz2h-63441.jpg?width=800&height=1189)
I hate to break it to this delusional person, but every free fridge she's going to get offered is going to be one of those off-white ones from someone's garage.
This is a hard lesson to learn.
"It's Called Doing It Yourself"
![te3qx5o86ho91 someone posting on facebook asking to remove shrubs for free](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/te3qx5o86ho91-91606.jpg?width=800&height=421)
Look, if you don't have the ability and don't have much money, I can understand why you would post something like this.
Clearly though from the laughing faces this wasn't the case with this person.
Ketchup Wars
![uhhhyjmnmhk81 neighbours fighting because they asked to borrow ketchup and they only had hunts not heinz](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/uhhhyjmnmhk81-78604.jpg?width=800&height=867)
This is the kind of thing that's on a sitcom.
Imagine getting into an altercation with your neighbor over the brand of ketchup they have. Honestly though, people have done worse over a lot less.
"All They Do Is Sell Beds"...Yes
![p1tbj9lnr2291 person mad that a mattress store wouldnt help them move a mattress they bought two years ago](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/p1tbj9lnr2291-11974.jpg?width=800&height=356)
This person clearly doesn't understand that once you buy something from a store, they're not at your beck and call for the rest of your life.
Crazy concept right?
Just A Garbage Human
![33k4yhd2ckj91 someone asking person for money because they bought them drinks and they didn't hook up](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/33k4yhd2ckj91-62433.jpg?width=800&height=777)
I hate to break it to this person, but nobody owes you anything.
If you wanted to pay for a specific service (wink wink) then hire that service, don't go creeping on random people with your nasty expectations.
"Somebody has already encountered a choosing beggar before."
![zgo8yyjar9581 someone selling barstools and the directions show they're pretty done with hagglers](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/zgo8yyjar9581-35039.jpg?width=800&height=898)
Hagglers beware, this person is taking zero BS.
I honestly wish I had this amount of confidence to post this. The amount of people on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist that don't care at all about anything is just shocking.
I'll Take The $100 Then If You Don't Want It
![y3za2s54jtd81 woman mad a guy only gave her $100 to pay for her nails](https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/y3za2s54jtd81-57487.jpg?width=800&height=633)
Welp. Nice to know this woman thinks $100 is offensive, if that's the case I'd be happy to be offended any day in her place.
Seriously how broke are you that you can't fund your own birthday?
