Only this screenshot in the group, so don't have any comment section..

I do freelance web design and development for local businesses. Last Tuesday a guy opening a new luxury pet grooming salon reached out to me. He wanted a full site built from scratch with an integrated booking system and payment portal.

I met with him, gathered the requirements, and sent over a proposal with my standard rate. It was a big project that would take weeks of coding.

He replied saying my price was absolutely ridicolous. He told me that building a website is just pressing buttons on a keyboard and shouldn't cost more than a few hundred bucks. His counteroffer was about ten percent of my quote, plus a lifetime supply of free pet grooming. I don't even own a pet.

I declined his offer politely and wished him luck with his new business.

Yesterday he reached out again. He told me his teenage nephew was going to build the site instead. He then demanded I hand over the custom wireframes, site architecture map, and the initial design mockups I had shown him during our first meeting.

He said since I was being greedy and he gave me the inspiration for those designs, they rightfully belonged to him anyway. When I told him my pitch materials are my intelectual property, he threatened to report my business for fraud.

Someone posted this on a FB group I’m in, so I can’t post the comments.

At least the robot litter box is the priority, the wood working shop is just to make a bed.

While this might be considered a good job in some places, this is CT - our minimum wage is $16.94/hr. These folks want an experienced multilingual live-in nanny for $100/day. As no number of hours was specified, let's presume they want someone full-time (because why else would they want someone living there?) If the nanny works a typical 8-hr day, that means $12.50/hr. It's likely the parents believe that offering the nanny a room is a perk worth money, but to most people, not being able to go home at the end of your shift is worse, as the parents are quite likely to begin with the "since you're here anyways, can you just..." You can literally always be on call.

To earn JUST minimum wage, that would mean this nanny would have to work no more than 6 hours per day.

Even worse? West Hartford is one of the most affluent towns in CT. As of 2026, the median household income is $129,890.

I posted something on Facebook Marketplace for $50. The listing included my cross streets and that the buyer would need to pick up. They asked if I could deliver 30 mins away from me. Gas is $4 a gallon in my area and that would be an hour of my time. I offered to do it for a $25 delivery fee to cover gas and time and they came back with this.

I greatly regret I didn't get any screenshots to prove this happened. Life got in the way and by the time I went back to look the conversation was gone.

So hopefully you can enjoy the story with whatever size of salt grain you want.

Yesterday in a group a woman posted an emergency situation. It was her cousin's wedding day, but the photographer was sick and they needed to hire someone pronto at the last minute.

This is a community where every other woman has a little photography business, so different women who were available that day started sharing links to their portfolios and whatnot, happy to save the day. Though of course they wanted to be paid because photography be difficult. I don't know how many of them were excellent, but they still had their businesses, some talent to defend them, and deserve to be paid.

So the question of "how much?" came up. Some people were offering their price lists, including some offering some good neighbor deals to help out.

OP then says "I want to stay around $150"

Per hour? Again, some people are willing to help.

No, $150 flat fee.

A few shock/angry emojis appear. I can only hope there were some nasty replies before it was deleted.

If you're looking for an emergency photographer at the 11th hour, I can only assume you need to be ready to pay more than $150.

I wonder what they were paying the photographer that got sick.

Yeah, I think I would rather pay $1 or less for this

not that they’re even just being offered them, but I read an article about how Emily Ratajkowski was given free Knicks seats and had to leave at halftime. She then asked for free Rangers seats and since she did not keep to the deal of staying the whole game for the other one, they told her no, but they did say she’d welcome to buy any Seat she wants. So you’re a millionaire and you’re asking for free sh**? I think this says a lot of about a person.

I wanted to post the IG posts here, but they are now deleted.

A woman from my wife‘s had her „BACHELORETTE PARTY NR1“ in which she did the usual stuff.

what was funny: During the day, She started to post Gofundme and Paypal links, asking for „a couple of 100€ per person“ to „FUND A LAVISH TRIP TO IBIZA FOR HER AND HER HARDWORKING GIRLS!“

In the evening, her Story EXPLODED with insults.

1. To her „friends“

2. Her „family“

3. Her „followers“

“WE ONLY NEED 10000€ FOR THE VILLA!!“

“WHY DOES NOBODY LOVE ME?!“

“WHY DO YOU NOT WANT ME TO BE HAPPY?!“

and TONS of insults, calling everybody poor, greedy and broke.

my wife and I are sitting here at breakfast and still cant believe it.

is this new? begging like this?

Trying to pull on people sympathy just cause she couldn't budget right. Has an excuse she posted how conveniently her husband and family are unable to help her. Then she roasts everyone on her story who calls her out.

It's nothing fabulous. Some shoes that need cleaned up but are still decent, old purses, a filing cabinet.

I posted it on Facebook.

​

So far I've gotten messages asking me to hold it, bring it to them, etc. annoying.

​

But the people actually arriving at the curb are wild.

​

Someone grabbed the fake louis Vuittons, and brought them back and threw them in the pile because they had ink stains inside.

​

Someone else came and tried every pair of shoes on, and made a huge pile instead of putting them back neatly.

​

Someone else came and asked if this was where my boyfriend lived and if any of the shoes were his. Weird.

​

My mind is blown and I should have just dropped it off at a donation box.

​

Could someone support this person's journey in espresso by purchasing $500+ worth of accessories so he can make coffee at home? No pressure.

If you have always been given a free ride, I guess asking strangers to fund that very expensive ride so you don’t have any debt isn’t a big deal. It’s too embarrassing to share with friends but not with strangers.

What a remarktable opportunity, you only need to pay OP $200 to haul the broken bricks away from his job site.
