People who constantly FB message and post on my wall their GoFundMe site. I'm sorry but I feel like you begging for $10,000 while getting insurance from the federal government is very greedy. Yes I feel sorry (slightly) for your family and your daughters stupidity/wanting to be a Good Samaritan in the middle of the night and what happened to her, but don't beg me for money when you and your family have 5x as much as my husband and I do. Especially when you know we are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling between pay checks. Then call me a stuck up bitch for not helping your family out.


I seriously hate GoFundMe and have found that most people who are using it just want everyone else to give them money so they don't have any worries in life.

Note: I know that there are some people who could really benefit from GoFundMe but not this family.

I agree with your GoFundMe sentiment...I feel like its getting totally abused. Kid you not, there is a girl I know that has a GoFundMe set up to help her with travel expenses so she can sing the national anthem at all the MLB stadiums...uhhhhh, what??

I have never heard of GoFundMe. Is it for people who need money for medical bills or stuff like that? I could see how that would get awkward.

Had to go to the dentist. Hate the dentist. How would you feel in your profession if everyone hated your guts?

I'm an accountant which people tend to associate with taxes, which most people hate. Or it's always talked about as a super lame profession...."Oh I could never be an accountant, so boring"... etc, etc, etc. I don't work in tax and my job is super interesting but it is still funny to watch people's reaction.

lakecountrygal - I just saw that news story last night. Something seemed off about it & didn't quite add up? Also they kept emphasizing how the go fund me was to empower her or some thing? I don't know - just seemed fishy. I would for sure not donate.

I do hope they catch the guy though.

lincbeesmom go to the pedi & then for your nips you can just use lotramin OTC - you can ask the pharmacist and they'll help you find the right one.

Oh & sorry! It hurts!

[lakecountrygal]

bennieangel exactly!!! DH and I know the family very well and it really bugs us that they are begging for money with the amount they have. I also think it's kinda funny that you knew once you heard the story that it's who I was talking about. Yes she's a single mother and a horrible thing happened to her, but she won't allow her child's father to see her and with all her training she should have known better than to stop. Not only that but it shouldn't take money to empower someone!!! It's just plain greedy!!!

It's ridiculous that everyone who needs some money begs on the Internet. Or, that people think they should beg on behalf of others. Go ahead and throw real life fundraisers, but the Internet allows lazy people to ask for cash.

My favorite is the dude that needed money to make potato salad. Now, that was something people got behind.

@highpeak that is one GoFundMe that I would donate to if we had the money! I heard his story and he is listed on the GoFundMe page as one of their success stories and I think he got close to his goal. It's the people who use it inappropriately that bug me!

My late BF: if we have such a thing called a forecast that's predicting snow, get the GD plows out before noon when people are mandated reporters! Not everyone has 4 wheel drive and patient babies. Geez.
