Cringe worthy GoFundMe's

C.C., on March 10, 2016 at 1:17 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 83

I see a lot on here about honey funds and house funds and all that, and I 100% agree, they are so tacky!

Personally I've only ever seen gofundme's for funerals, freak accidents, ect. but today my cousin shared a friends post and it popped up on my feed... I was shocked. I had to share lol. The whole idea is so tacky!

Is this a common thing? Have you seen a lot of pages for various extraneous expenses??

    @EmilyT I KNOW! I thought the same thing... High school & even college were the easiest and most stress free times of my life...

    @BrownToBain uhhhh so much cringing! There's no shame in saving or getting a cheaper car or taking a cheaper vacation... I wish people would understand that instead of begging!

    @Celia Milton there's a hilarious episode of the show South Park called "Go Fund Yourself" that basically goes along that line of thinking... Totally agree!

    Wha?! I just love how he says "trying to figure out my future as a young adult". Well you certainly have got a lot to figure out, because adults pay their own way my friend.

    No donations yet.

    Sorry, we are all saving for our wedding/vacation/house/whatever is important to us. Maybe you should try it?

    I've only ever seen GoFundMe pages for a friend who was trying to pay for life saving surgery for their dog...this child doesn't know stress.

    There was a GoFund Me to raise money for a drunk driver's bond money. He actually hit and killed a innocent mother of two. They were saying the money that was to be raised was to help his gf and their 3 month old baby(she has a wonderful job so not sure about all of that) but the amount they were trying to raise was the exact same as his bond...

    It makes me so mad when I see GoFundMe's for crap like this because there are people on there who seriously need the help! A few years ago, a guy my brothers went to high school with and played football with was in an awful motorcycle accident. He lost both his legs, so his best friend started a campaign to raise money for the prosthetics and therapy his insurance wouldn't cover. It was truly an awesome cause to give to. And it was even more awesome to see how quickly the community reached, and far surpassed, the $50k goal. Only took like a couple of days.

    But then crap like this pops up on GoFundMe and makes everyone who legitimately need help look bad. :-(

    Also. I wish my stress level was the same as a high school senior. You couldn't pay me to go back to high school, but I'd be cool with trading stress levels with her...

    ETA: words

    I would also like a trip to Mexico to relieve my stress. So all I have to do is start a GoFundMe? Good to know.

    Oh. FFS. That girl has no idea what's coming in her 20's, 30's.... It'll be a shitstorm for sure.

    I agree. Get a job. Go work at McDonald's.
