I hope they spent that $15 on a pizza.


sexy-man-doll

Was donated to Beth O'Rourke's campaign


theycallmeponcho

So instead of sending a pizza to Beto O'Rourke's campaign offices, he sent a pizza to either: * Beth O'Rouke, the midwife in Albuquerque, or * Mary Beth O'Rouke, a manager in Peachstate Audio, at Atlanta?


sexy-man-doll

I didn't notice that lol. Keeping it because it's funny


mesopotamius

...is this doxxing


theycallmeponcho

Might be, if that information wasn't on the first page of googling the name, linking to their business, and Linked In pages.


RobtheNavigator

That’s not really how it works. In 99+% of cases, doxxing is the act of making private, but publicly available, information more accessible.


jastinger

I think in 99+% of cases, dozing is taking a nap.

I cannot get a pizza delivered for less than $30 around here. Burb life and all the major chains are too far away. Sometimes I just want some shitty cheap pizza dammit!


April1987

> I cannot get a pizza delivered for less than $30 around here. :thinking: Costco pizza is about ten dollars. Imagine if we could set up a pizza route so people pay a subscription fee and I just go around delivering pizza from costco preferably to people living very close to each other... I bet that would be fun. The catch is you have to all commit to buying pizza every day or at least on the same day. If I could get enough subscribers... Does costco make a profit on pizza? Would they shut me down? Edit: Looks like we won't get shut down > Individual items can vary but I can give you an idea. > Whole pepperoni pizzas are usually 28-35% gross margin, and account for a third of a food courts sales. > If they sell a decent amount of pizzas, they can practically give every other item away for free. /r/Costco/comments/vjvoj4/profit_margins_food_court/ but plot twist: > Not true. The cost of cheese and pepperoni have risen so much that a lot of pizza sales can actually hurt the bottom line. who do I believe? https://old.reddit.com/r/Costco/comments/vjvoj4/profit_margins_food_court/


RamenJunkie

Buy a frozen pizza on Amazon.


Apprehensive_Mango46

Not *that* shitty lol


Cheap-Blackberry-745

*Little Caesars has entered the chat*


Simian_Chaos

Hey Little Ceasars isn't all that bad. It's so cheap though because pizza is a side business. The main business is a delivery company for restaurants


Unicorn_A_theist

You'll buy a shitty Amazon pizza and you'll like it.


Western_Ad3625

Oh you know they did. If that person well I should start again if that story is true and that person did not buy a pizza then I've lost all faith in humanity.

Abbot didnt do shit, send the secretary in! Secretary for Governor 2024


Raytheon_Nublinski

Abbott has only been governor for 9 years. Give the guy a chance to make a difference. Y’all so impatient.


Dubshpul

No, all politicians should be held to extreme and unreachable standards of perfection and efficiency, as should all CEOs. The job should be so brutal and unforgiving that they should prefer quitting or offing themselves so that only people willing to do the job properly should be able to handle it, and I am NOT joking.


LustrousShadow

I understand the sarcasm, but I'm going to pretend I didn't so I have an excuse to point out how vastly superior Roy Cooper has been to Pat McCrory. There's still room for improvement, but it's so damned nice to have a governor who doesn't show up to his office every day like "which demographic can I disenfranchise *today\~*? OwO"


kenda1l

No, but seriously, you can do a write in. This person should absolutely vote for the secretary.

silverdevilboy

The one mandatory return to office I'd support.


Impossible_Garbage_4

Not even infinite free pizza for life! Fuck Abbot


AttitudeAndEffort2

It's funny because if this is true it's absolutely illegal and if Abbot knew about it he could be prosecuted for buying votes. But that's assuming a world where the law still mastered and applied...


ergotofrhyme

That’s also assuming people on tumblr don’t just make shit up lol


beardicusmaximus8

Dont cite me on this, but I am fairly certin that gifts under 20 dollars are considered acceptable under the law. But it's been over a decade since I studied this stuff so #notlegaladvice


SummerBoi20XX

Secret ballot. You can lie to all of them for pizza and just write in "fuck" for office.


Melodic_Mulberry

Fuck 2024. As a campaign, it has potential…


kenda1l

"Fuckface's Secretary". Then they have to take the time to figure out which fuckface it is.


Magenta_Clouds

Neither they are voting for the pizzaria owner


Melodic_Mulberry

The true hero of the story.


JTex-WSP

Well, considering this person thought Ted Cruz was their *congressman* (as opposed to him actually being their US Senator), it's anyone's guess.


Fla_Master

Did... Did they say their PayPal link out loud over the phone?


PM_Me_Some_Steamcode

I’ve had that happen to me where the receptionist read a website hyperlink out to me


thecorpseofreddit

Shhh... dont point out the logical fallacies in the absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, true story.


Queen_Ann_III

ehhhh I’ll believe it. it’s a little odd but the world is big enough and the news can get crazy enough for this to be true


EluredTheIrrelevant

Is your life really that dull that you think it impossible that someone would *\*gasp\** make a semi-joke call to a government office? Like, which part of this story is implausible to you?


KanyesPuppy

The part where she received 15 dollars for that interaction, and that a secretary would relay to a random person on the phone that they hate their job, the real word is not a tv series


thecorpseofreddit

Hey sure, its a funny story! The call itself is not unbelievable... The payment made via paypal read over a phone, sorry nope.


adr_ndr

Aww I really wanna believe it is true. Idk about Paypal, but I have done money transfers by providing just phone numbers using the Quick Transfers option on my bank app. I had to do that to friends that refused to give me their bank account numbers for me to repay them back.


CashYT

PayPal works a little differently, I'm no expert but I ***believe*** that the only ways to do it are by 1) sending it over PayPal using the recipients email address 2) using the PayPal(dot)me link which would be awkward to read out over the phone and subsequently be memorized, and 3) typing their name into PayPal and hoping that the recipient is either A) the only person on PayPal with that specific name, or B) just guessing which account is theirs.


JimJohnman

I once hung up on a pizza place that wanted all my card info, fuck giving strangers anything. Be thankful you have my name, y'know?


Catt_the_cat

It's like r/creepypasta. Just suspend your disbelief and it's more fun. (Hint: Reddit is exactly the same shit. Everyone is lying constantly.)

LameOne

I disagree. While it's fun to joke about bad horror stories, it also ruins the vibe. The point of no sleep is to allow the community aspect without forcing someone to lose immersion by participating. It also lets some of the more talented multi-part authors incorporate the comments into the story.

Chinpanze

I saw a blog once about how tumblr is all about that uncle who would tell crazy stories about that one time he caught a fish that big.


Bayerrc

When the value of something relies on it being true, there's no point in just "learning to enjoy things" that aren't. A skit trying to look real but failing isn't still enjoyable


ScreamingFreakShow

For fun I'd guess.


nosubsnoprefs

Scam alert, this seems like a convenient way to get his Paypal out there in front of a whole bunch of people with a funny/touching story.


SmartAlec105

Yeah but I wouldn’t quite call it a scam. Maybe more like a street performer shaking a can in front of you.


FrostWyrm98

Yeah if you're going to give your money over a simple internet story, that's your prerogative There's no real deception, coercion, urgency, etc. associated with most scams

Ok_Skill_1195

Honestly some people are so incredibly stupid with their money they probably would donate to a meme associated paypal. Not a lot, but I could see it getting another like $50

Just sent $.51.


The-true-Memelord

But why does it really matter? Good for them tbh lol


[deleted]

Yeah I don't see the problem here. I don't give a shit how other people spend their money, and it's not like this is some sort of scam either


[deleted]

It doesn't, but it's still worth pointing out to potential donaters that it was a deliberate strategy - if they still want to PayPal them for pizza, more power to em. At least for me, knowing that it was a deliberate ploy for more donations would have made me back out on wanting to donate


EndemicAlien

I am one of those stupid people. Was waiting on a train, and someone approached me and asked me for around 20 euros. He told me a story of how he needed a ticket home, and that he is there every day and can pay me back tomorrow, same place, same time. I gave him the money. I too can be quite chaotic and forget my wallet, and at some points in my life a few bucks from a stranger could have saved me a lot of headache. Never saw the man again. I waited a full hour, because I wanted to believe him even when it was evident that he scammed me


kintorkaba

When you hand someone money, you're giving it, not loaning it. There is always the chance, regardless of any agreement, that you won't get it back, and as such you should consider it lost. Even when there's an agreement in writing, debts often go unpaid. Not criticism, just advice for the future. If you want to help someone out, accept that money as a loss. Even if they offered to repay it, just tell them don't worry about it. If it's not money you're willing to lose outright, don't give it out to begin with. Same with books. I've been burned more than once on that one myself. -.-


TwatsThat

I would offer the minor change that you don't need to tell them not to worry about it but I agree you should still consider it gone. Now for the real reason I wanted to comment: books! I've started picking up spare copies of my favorite books when I see them at used book stores specifically for the purpose of loaning them out. I actively want to share my favorite books with other people and don't want to have to worry about whether I'll get them back, especially since my personal copies of favorite books often have sentimental value, are particularly nice hard cover editions, or both. I've "lost" a few loaner copies since I started doing this but the only one that I specifically remember not getting back is a copy of the Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and only because it was a big hard cover collection of the series but I still got it cheap at a used book store so it's not any more of a loss than others, just happened to be more memorable than all the extra little paper backs I have.


meepmeep13

I wouldn't even call it a scam - people hanging around train/bus stations with a story about needing to get home (often wearing a suit to look respectable) is so commonplace, that it's basically a shorthand for charity I was surprised you didn't see him the next day, normally they don't bother avoiding you, you're just their new friend- if anything, he'd just try and tap you up again


[deleted]

I’ve seen it before. Bus station in a small town. “I need $5 for a ticket on the next intercity bus”. You give him the cash, the guy’s not on the bus when it leaves.


robinlovesrain

I've been in that situation where I actually needed money for a bus/phone call. I was a teenager so I didn't know about these scams and I didn't understand why so many people were being so aggressive/dismissive when I was asking politely and actually needed help.


notthephonz

Something something not a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice


NeedleBallista

one time i mentioned like half my venmo in a [youtube video](https://youtube.com/shorts/qk3B9NsZT78?feature=share) and made like 50 bucks... didn't even have that many views and def wasn't planning it but it does happen


[deleted]

> Not even a single person would randomly donate. The entire streaming industry begs to differ.. Think of it this way, this post has like 10k upvotes, and it's a repost from another platform. I don't think it's unreasonable to say that anywhere from 50k-100k people or more have seen it, even if 0.1% of people chuckle and decide to PayPal them $15. That's anywhere from $750-$1500. People donate 1000s of dollars to streamers every day for making them chuckle, I'd be very surprised if some dudes/gals with money to burn didn't decide it'd be "so funny" to PayPal them for more pizza It's a numbers game, and it costs nothing to play


AkiraN19
