I am honestly speechless by what just happened
So I uploaded this picture of this douchbag parking when someone accused me of being a karma thief, bit of banter its fine
Stating my case that It's not my car
I do actually live off super noodles and coffee, its tough but I get by
Then this absoulte legend popped up
Asked me for my paypal, was waiting to see 0.01p in my account and braced for the troll
Actually teared up
I cannot believe that someone would be so nice to do something like this..
Moments later..
He actually sent me £50.. I am honestly speechless
Thank you so much!
Edit : Thank you so much for all your support guys! I have a lot of people wanting to donate and help me more so I setup a small fund page here http://www.gofundme.com/tzs2a4c

Iamtherhymenocerous
I'm you but without the kids! WTF?
HogwartsAlumnus
So true. My b/f lost his job in Feb and the only reason we made it this far is because of tax returns. The budget is still negative. :(

guess that Hogwarts degree isn't paying off...I'm sorry, this was my bad attempt at a worthless degree joke. hope things get better for you
HogwartsAlumnus
It made me laugh :) I've been working overtime and selling my crafts as much as I can to make up for it. It will get better.
8bitTunes
what kind of crafts?
HogwartsAlumnus
I do lots of things, but right now I've been making furniture and signs from reclaimed pallet wood. I also sew cloaks now and then.

Honest question: why did you have kids if you didn't have money?
galspanic
2/2 - myself without even knowing that's what I did. So I teach for an online college and don't get paid much.
HelloKittyJusticeLeague
Ouch. =/ I'm sure your kids are happy having you around though. Best wishes to you and your family!
galspanic
1/2 - I did. But I gave up my meh job to stay at home with them and have not been able to find a full time position since. I obsoleted ...

Dont know theyre situation, but I met a chick who wanted a kid just to get on welfare... I nearly slapped her. Sadly I cant slap out stupid

It would've been so much better if we had just FIXED it instead of playing stupid political games for another 20+ years. :\

8bitTunes
what the ever loving shit?! I hope you spend it all on lavish parties. that is crazy sad. how old are your kids? paper route old?
farfromhip
I'd like to know about the kids too...
8bitTunes
or old enough to get a menial teenage job like working in fast food or an apprenticeship. etc. anything to help parents and buy cool stuff
8bitTunes
I meant it in the context of getting them to do chores for other people for money...mowing lawns, pulling weeds, painting fences, paperboy.1
galspanic
Nope. Adjunct professor with a $300/mo student loan and a mortgage on a house worth half what I bought it for. And I am changing careers.
thelonepig
Fuck that sucks man. I'm a "loser" college drop out cocktail waitress who rents, and has a little money in the bank. Adulting sucks.
babybirdhome
Sadly, the way they rigged the economy through the mid-2000s made the smart money on letting foreclosure happen and waiting it out. Idiotic.
galspanic
Yeah, but what are you going to do? I got a house even if I'm paying way too much for a space we outgrew about 4 years ago... bleh.
8bitTunes
I didn't even notice your username til now. Dat GAME! I hope everything works out with your career change. I'm unemployed since September

I started using the name in 1994 when I saw a ska band named Galspanic. Had no idea that it was a game until 2003. Awkward.

same here, but I used epoxy to fix mine, that is some sturdy stuff.
Cryonight
decent headset for the price I have to say. Had em for a while. Work wonders in dota have to say.
fire219
Sat on my 780 after about 8 months of use, it is now held together by electrical tape and rubber tubing to hold it taut. Still works well.
CaptainFargo
They aren't the nicest set I've had but they are certainly the sturdiest.

Check the invisible tape on that headset. OP is legit about being a poor college student.

That was the first thing I saw. True sign of a determined broke man. Tape fixes all!

Get a job.. I pay a mortgage and all my other bills.. and I'm only 23. The only person stopping you is you.. so there really is no excuse.
ILoveKpopAndFood
Did I give an excuse though? No. I just said that the struggle is real. Calm down
greekniko
It was a generalized statement. Not directed towards you.

So much this. I make a nice, average salary (for my country), supporting three people I'm at zero balance at the end of the month.
FaxCelestis
Seriously. I make $17/hr (more than double minimum wage!), work full time, and still can barely make ends meet. Granted, my company has (1)
HandyHarry
I make 19 an hour and I struggle with it... Damn rent and loans whoop my butt every time
theinbetween87
I wish I had that much coming in. I only make $13. It sucks barely making it paycheck to paycheck.
umpbumpfizz
I just got off work and was making $46.50 (!!) in double time. It's still not enough. I'm beginning to suspect it's never enough.
theMillen
i feel you sooo much, i make 18/hr no kids just fiance... and we're still broke Q.Q need a how to live for dumby's book!
DidItForScience
Yeah I was making $17.35/hr living on my own and not exactly balling and commuting 1hr 15min each way for work via public transit.

I make the same, I'm in the same boat. I'm three people and nobody has gotten a raise in a decade (except promotions)

I make 8.5 an hour with bills, food, utilities, and schooling fees. At 22 i'm already dead.

40-50 somethings do that too. They don't know how hard it is to even get an interview when all applications are online and so impersonal.
beholder87
And that's if your application isn't removed from the pool by computer algorithms that just look at the questionnaire for perfect results.

terrible payment matching on their medical coverage (50% employee, 0% employee family), so to cover my two kids I'm shelling out $250/wk.(2)
RageCuddles
Damn, Americans really get dicked eh? My extended medical is only $40 a week for my SO and I. I don't get it man.
ChimeraOfFury
Holy Fuck. $250 a week?? You may even benefit from exploring other coverage (not the one your employer provides.)
FaxCelestis
Obamacare/Covered California wants *more* than that, for worse coverage.
ChimeraOfFury
I believe you. I'm a midwesterner myself, so I don't know much about that. But there are choices, some might be helpful, but maybe not.
Jeep91
Holy crap bro, in Canada I pay like $80 a month...
theOGnoob
FaxCelestis
Yeah, but you're in Canada, a more sensible place when it comes to caring for their citizens.
geriatricsanatore
250$ a week?? Holy shit.
FaxCelestis
No joke.
Sauroctonus
Or the job climate.
FaxCelestis
But I'll be damned if my little ones aren't going to have medical coverage. And yes, I tried Obamacare: they want *more* money than that.(3)

I jokingly ended one of my posts "plz send food" and was immediately offered some. People are nice.
thingssomeonesays
I sent a dozen cookies to three different imgurians a few months ago. One box was returned undeliverable :/
jcarn
I've been living off 1 small meal a day for the last 3 months or so. I'm sure it'll turn around soon
kummeli
I've been doing that for three years. Surely it must turn around soon.
jcarn
How? Genuinely curious. I don't have work right now which is why
kummeli
Unemployed student. I live in a bilingual city and I'm really rubbish at the other one, which limits my job options quite a bit.
kummeli
Luckily I'm a pretty skinny guy, so it's not like I need to eat that much...
DontFeedTheBair
Over Christmas time I had two imgurians send me sweets when I was unemployed. Another one tried but the package got returned
highteck9
I ended one of my posts with "how come no one sends me dick pics?" Got a dick pic.
Psychethos
I've been offered money and food on imgur before as well. Too proud and/or stupid to accept it, but am infinitely grateful for the offers.
BatsuitsNipples
Who are these people and where are they? My food stamps ended because I had over $2000 in my savings account. Student loan money. I'm broke.
geriatricsanatore
I'm one of those people. I'm sending tapatito hot sauce to Australia Friday, don't see why I couldn't send a care package your way as well.
resipsaloquitor
What?! They counted student loans as income? WTF. Appeal that shit. That's awful.
derduetschlanders

No. Ace Ventura reference. Go to your room, and think about what you've done.

I meant that in WoW, they made a reference to Einhorn, so WoW made an Ace Ventura reference.
