If someone brings me a pile of diamonds and gold at the gate I'd give them my ticket.

God knows I've given up more for less over the course of my life!

Nice job of confirming my low opinion of people who work in that industry.

Indeed.
Also, I like the idea that a polite request will stop "scammers". Isn't that a sort of blood in the water?

I am an XYZ. I am ignorant/have no morals/pretend to have morals theoretically adhered to by my profession as recently as 20 years ago[?!]. My employer told me I need to Fuck burning man to make money. Yes sir!

(I did not know. I think my employer did not know. I'm very smart but I did not know my employer did not know. No one knew. But we committed the greatest crime. Though it is not our fault. Because we have already made our money. OK.)

I really don't wanna read the damn ticket pleading posts but you have to go past 15 of them to find anything else!
I'm mostly annoyed by anyone who failed to plan and now has an "emergency" whether it's tickets, a camp, a ride, or transporting stuff.
However, I'm also mildly miffed by the light therapists, yoga instructors, mystics, hippies, "healers", chakra energy givers, the I-love-everyone-ers, and anyone who says "namaste".

If you go to the ticket wanted sub-forum, there a button on the right that says "mark all posts read". Press it, go to the board index and then go to the "Unread posts" view.

Or you can read the begging posts all at once...

Oh hey, good idea! Will try that. But it's almost over now anyway... it's like when I was removing two layers of floor and sub-floor from my kitchen. It was tedious and a pain, had to chip, pry and break it all out in little bitty pieces. Took half of forever. Then, right when I was almost done, I figured out a quick easy way!

It would require reading through all of that stuff... one sob story after another relatively similar sob story... followed by another remarkably similar one...
At first they were "I got screwed"-ish. Then they got really namasty... then finally all out desperation.
