What if all your friends rent too? You are never going to get 50000 people to give you a quid.

I have to say I have succumbed to a few ‘buy me a coffee’ or subscribed to a patreon for a couple of months at a time for podcasts I like but I would die of shame before asking strangers for money.

I've got my tinfoil hat on here but anyone reckon it's not her tweeting at the moment. The overuse of emojis is very Caroline Whohashands!

That post is 100% begging. The temerity of suggesting you are somehow owed money for a house!

It took me 6 years to save up for my flat. Couldnt have done it without my parents charging me an affordable rent to live with them. They always taught me I had to pay my way. I didn't take a penny from them for a deposit because why would I? When they had already done so much for me by putting me through uni.

I think these people have an idea that they're owed something but most normal people know the world doesn't work that way and you need to work for what you have.

I know a woman who lost a great deal of her things in a fire a couple of years ago. It was very sad, and a friend of hers set up a Gofundme for her. I was happy to throw a bit of money her way - who wouldn't be?

But then she started posting things like Thanks to everyone who's donated. And to those of you who haven't...now I see who my real friends are or People always wish me a happy birthday on Facebook but they can't spare any money when I really need help.

It was so gross - yes, she'd suffered a very hard time, but come on, there are so many people in bad situations. I think that was my first exposure to this weird world of demanding money online. Shame it wasn't my last!

It's definitely still her tweeting she just has a boomer mentality when it comes to using emojis . Plus who the fuck else would come up with the phrase 'nudge-hiss-erosion'?

I just don't get the audacity of asking people to fund your house deposit - I totally get that a lot of people have help in the form of living with parents, gifted money etc but to actually ask people to give their money to you to buy a house?! What if they want a house too, would you then donate back to them? Just save up for your own deposit ffs! (BTW totally mindful that a lot of people can't afford to save, but the people who seem to have this sense of entitlement generally can it looks like from SM, and this isn't a comment at all on people who have help - I will be benefitting from parental help in some way when it comes to it, but a comment on the grifters!)

I know someone who started a crowdfunder for a deposit for a house. I got private messages asking me to share it on social media if I couldn't contribute. I was mortified! It did get lots of shares and contributions, which kinda made me judge those people too, then the sale fell through and there was a long radio silence. No idea what happened to the donations. I think they're not even on social media anymore, but they do have a house...

Yup, Pete wharmby. He pisses me off too and is also a bit of a grifter who recently jacked his job in to try and make a living out of being autistic online. Most of his threads end with him sending folk to his thing where they give you money for coffee.

He was one of the few people who had a long line of disorder letters after his name and he quite frequently comments on Jack's posts.
