From the submission thread: Double Whammy

Every year, we get the sob stories about how they can't afford a few bucks for the subscription.
Who is the most pathetic of the sad sacks? And just to keep it interesting, you can't just say Opal since we all know how pathetic she is.

Your nominations for suicide by mod before 28 April:
Which posters do you think will "go out with a bang" before the resubscription date for charter members?

My money's on Gobear.

This comment from the recently-departed board cracked me the fuck up. I don't know who posted it, but it's worth re-posting:
This is so true it's not even fucking funny. To read the SDMB at renewal time, you'd think we all lived in a fucking fourth world country. Or that instead of having the "world's smartest people" we had some of the planet's dumbest.

"Waaaa, I don't have a credit card because I was stupid and co-signed a car loan for my crack dealer BF that beat me! Waaa, stupid SDMB unfair!"

"Waaa, I'm a 13 year old that lives on breadcrumbs and stale water but somehow I have net access. Someone pay my waaaaaaaay!"

"Waaa, I'm a 25-something liberal arts major that found out russian history degrees aren't worth the Charmin they're printed on!"

"Waaa, I'm one of the bottom 50% of the Dope that doesn't have a job because I have some made-up disease like Aspergers and just get too depressed to do anything except live online. Entitle me!"

and my fav

"Waaa, I live in a backwards ass foreign country like Sweden or Canada where no one has credit cards and you Amerikans with your credit cards are just trying to ram Dubyas cock up our tender asses every time we try to use Master Card, waaaa!"

Renewal time helps me stuff my Ignore list like a pinata.

Frankly I think people are just being cheap. But yeah, I agree with anon here- for such supposedly smart people they sure are idiots when it comes to life decisions.

For the sad sack competition, I'd like to nominate Guin. She has no life, almost 20,000 posts, and she likes cats.

Her last job was at K-mart and she quit that because she couldn't handle the stress. Since then she claims to have been looking, but has limited her search to places within walking distance from her home.

Oh the one that really got my fucking back up was someone bleating (back in the day when it was only US$5) that money was tight and they were living with their in-laws, and US$5 represented two cappuccinos that they could have getting an hour of in-law-free-time in some cafe, and they weren't prepared to waste that on the SDMB.

I thought - for fuck's sake, so go sit under a tree and drink a can of coke each for your hour-break two days running, then you've made a goddamn profit.

Oh yeah - secretdubai is me istara. Just in case I get another accusation of anon-snarking hypocrisy. You can check the journal - it's a mirror of my LJ.
