So it's true, you are Canadian. -What my brain saw the first three times I read that sentence. I posted the picture to help people with poor reading comprehension. You're welcome.

It's funny, I totally agree that scalpers are the fucking worst. But when I say that, I'm talking about the fucking assholes that buy like 100 tickets for an event they don't give a shit about, and then gouge the actual fans -- they are actually running a business to fuck you. But I keep noticing that a lot of the people that scalp on craigslist ( or similar) aren't really bad people. A lot of them are just regular folks with tickets, and they try to get the most money they possibly can for them. Often they don't really believe/realize they are one of the shit heads. They are just selling something, and generally when you sell something you try to get the most money for said thing. For example, I set the price for my 1992 Subaru Legacy at $1500. Was it worth that, NOPE. Not a fucking chance. I like, wanted it out my fucking driveway. They could have just taken it away and I would have been cool with it. I actually probably would have paid. I ended up getting $620 (wasn't there for negotiations, no idea why pops chose that number), but I was happy. That car was not worth that much money. It was worth around $500, by my estimation. But to the young fellow that threw down the bills , it was apparently worth 6 and 1/5th bills. Am I a bad dude for selling my shit for a decidedly marked up value? I don't think so. My point is that although I think raising the price on tickets is fucking lame. I DO NOT think that every person that does this is a bad person, or deserves to be ridiculed...or whatever you were planning to do to this guy. Although having said that I'm not sure what should be done with these people?? Like unless this guy is a prolific ass-hat...just like, say no! no! Stop it! No! This guy has an open facebook and posts numerous photos of himself with handfuls of tickets and says this ticket pays for his taxi, his hotel room, this and that, he even posted multiple Coachella confirmations.

Something in my damn car sets on fire whenever I turn my defrost on, so now I'm not at hot yoga. In other news, my $600 car purchase is going about as well as I expected.

Remember that time Romanticizer stole one of the smartest and coolest dudes on the board and then told him that he could never speak to any of his rube friends again because of what a negative place this had become except for really only when she was here?
Good times.

Good times. Did that actually happen, or am I just missing a joke.

That's not a joke, that happened. I was stressed out and upset about lots of things last night, but that was the only one that there was any context on the board for and I needed something to be mildly confrontational about anyway so I picked that. I know she's logged in recently, she'll probably see it, I don't give a fuck. Not one fuck. That shit really hurt my feelings.

Solution --> Don't get flu shots ***waits in the corner to be yelled at by shax*** A delayed fuck you! Actually I'm not that preachy when it comes to flu shots as long as people who don't get it aren't in contact with with immunocompromised people or quoting pseudoscience bullshit as an excuse not to. If I didn't work in healthcare, I probably wouldn't have ever got one until now... that H1N1 is scary shit. But anyone who works in healthcare and doesn't get the shot is a straight up asshole. Now if you said that you didn't believe in vaccinations against polio, measles, pertussis etc... I would probably punch you in the throat.

Doing the math in my head. Chances of tickets pretty much dead. Gut wrenching feeling growing instead....

As in you can't afford them or they will sell out before you buy some?
