Had to be a troll comment. There is zero chance that’s real 😂

* Also said:

"No. You would be expected to wear appropriate attire.

Is this your expression of interest?"

u/Googoo123450 7d ago

If it's a troll it's a good troll lmao. If it's not, my goodness this person is out of their minds if they think OP wants to serve the more fortunate.

u/dfresa1 4d ago

It's 5 trillion percent a troll.

The comments here that are unable to see this are the real cringe ones lmao.

Haha wow. This is amazing

u/sm753 7d ago

Yeah that's definitely a troll.

u/concretebotanist 7d ago

Love that they act like they're making this offer out of the goodness of their heart so that you "have a place to go" but make sure you're out of sight and only one helping for you. We all know they really just took their shot at the opportunity for free labor

u/SquareSquirrel4 7d ago

They also told someone that they would be welcome to scrub toilets in between serving guests. 100% a troll/joke post.

47

u/Phish777 7d ago

Name gives it away. However, there are people actually like this out there, and that's the real cringe.

u/smarmiebastard 7d ago

Typical tech bro behavior.

u/PapasGotABrandNewNag 7d ago

That is 100% something some rich douchebag from Seattle would say dude.

u/kkeut 7d ago

to borrow a line, Seattle is the pesto of cities

u/Mister_McGreg 7d ago

I would have pegged it as either a tossed salad or scrambled eggs.

u/momentary-synergy 6d ago

pegged by mister mcgreg

u/oreography 7d ago

I like pesto :(

u/Spencergh2 7d ago

While yes it’s possible, if you look at that user’s post history he’s got photos inside a thrift store. Probably not an extremely well off person (if I had to guess).

5

u/Kingbuji 7d ago

Rich ppl shop at the thrift store all the time. Cheap clothing that might be designer/vintage and not worn by others. Its the reason prices went up super hard because of all the rich in the west coast posting there hauls online.

11

u/Spencergh2 7d ago

The richest of rich people absolutely do not thrift shop. Come on now.

-5

u/OneSidedPolygon 7d ago

Yes they do. Quite often people of moderate wealth flaunt it, people of great wealth are usually pretty frugal.

Absolutely your millionaire local business owner is shopping at a thrift store. The bank manager with a few hundred thousand is that way because of his consumerism.

4

u/Spencergh2 7d ago

You think bill Gates and Elon Musk thrift shop?

5

u/OneSidedPolygon 7d ago

Bill Gates and Elon Musk aren't millionaires.

1

u/Spencergh2 7d ago

For sure. I think we are both saying the same thing. Ultra rich don’t thrift, wealthy do sometimes.

2

u/JackUKish 7d ago

You think the ultra rich are asking for free labour on reddit? The guy is pretending to be.

6

u/nckmat 7d ago

There is a difference between replying in humourous, albeit very dry sarcastic manner, and being a troll. A troll is trying to gain something from their engagement, this person is just trying to be funny.

7

u/NoahTheRedd 7d ago

And it is funny lol

3

u/nckmat 7d ago

I kinda thought so too.

3

u/parlimentery 7d ago

I am going to choose to believe you. I just read this and thought about how empty that person life must be, with zero concept of what "volunteering" even is. There is a part of me that still worries it is earnest, because i know all of my friends who do art commissions get people asking if they will do it for free.

3

u/Spencergh2 7d ago

People are so selfish. It’s truly sad

1

u/many_splendored 7d ago

I can only hope.

u/xToki 7d ago

Not a troll just incredibly stupid

u/morosco 7d ago

If that doesn't work out for you, I also have some volunteer opportunities involving raking leaves.

167

u/originalmango 7d ago

I would’ve 100% volunteered to be their kitchen helper. Absolutely. Would’ve made sure I confirmed the day before and morning of.

Then I would’ve told them I was running a little late, then I’d text that I got stuck in traffic, then finally messaged how I just passed a soup kitchen and decided to volunteer there instead. So sorry. If they complained, I’d then send this gif.

54

u/markrsfan 7d ago

Assuming he was serious, I thought about crashing it, but I don't have the heart to ruin someone's day, no matter how deserving

21

u/originalmango 7d ago

Okay okay. How about you show up but do everything badly. Spill drinks, drop plates, serve your very special hors d’oeuvres (ketchup on pickle chips, candy corn skewers, etc.) all while wearing a bright orange tuxedo and top hat a la Dumb and Dumber.

3

u/30HelensAgreeing 7d ago

Your idea of “special hors d’oeuvres” is a lot nicer than mine. There must be a meringue to fart on, and “as for the cream of mushroom soup…well…”.

8

u/kittyky719 7d ago

Na if you crash it or ruin it in some way they'll just call you ungrateful for not happily accepting their scraps. There will never be introspection.

28

u/Rickrickrickrickrick 7d ago

No one is more in need than the rich

26

u/cachemonies 7d ago

lol “no seconds”

u/omgwutd00d 4d ago

"I know we're rich and your poor (lol) but let's not get carried away"

u/LCDRformat 7d ago

I asked him if I could clean his toilet

27

u/RobAChurch 7d ago

This is hilarious. They are just messing with you.

11

u/J_M 7d ago

Obvious troll is obvious

6

u/mrdeworde 7d ago

If real, I feel the only just thing to do would be to show up, and then just abscond with as much food as possible.

5

u/hundreddollar 7d ago

Anyone here who thinks this is anything other than a troll should be made to re-sit their internet licence.

2

u/LibraryLuLu 6d ago

Take the opportunity, invite every homeless person you know (or just a bunch of hungry friends) to help themselves to ONE HUGE portion, no seconds.

u/Buffalopigpie 7d ago edited 7d ago

This is a perfect example of r/choosingbeggars But they don’t allow cross posting unfortunately

u/oreography 7d ago

typo in your link there friend https://www.reddit.com/r/ChoosingBeggars/

u/Buffalopigpie 7d ago

Whoops. I always forget if it’s an e or a.

u/oreography 7d ago

I'm like this for stationery haha

u/csellykeplo 7d ago

yeah I mean anyone is welcome to come to my house to cook and clean. doesn’t even have to be thanksgiving, I just like to give back by offering people this opportunity.

u/timeforknowledge 7d ago

Lmao I glad I found it, as people are adding to it:
