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?

Re: PAGE TWO
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.Captain Goddammit wrote:I really don't wanna read the damn ticket pleading posts but you have to go past 15 of them to find anything else!
Or you can read the begging posts all at once...

Re: PAGE TWO
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!
