@Euniceandrich Just as a head’s up for the future, because of the robot check on fukos you can’t buy from the forum thread even if you’re quick enough.
Second time in one day that I got to miss a fuko because it wanted to me to re-enter my credit card number. I guess trying is just stupid, at this point.
DA FUCK???
I refreshed right at 01 seconds…wait…wait…wait… FUCKU comes up, immediately click buy it, nothing happens…Then I open another tab and it’s sold out?
WHAT THE FUCK?
Yea got one! Knew there was likely one soon, and likely a VMP one later but no way I am trying to do this while driving nor pulling over to do it. Had just walked into work and was walking up 2 flights of stairs (no elevator here in this dump) with my computer open. Now I can not worry about being on the road 6 hours total today, apts, or otherwise not being able to log in to look and miss the fuko. Of course likely it will be beyond not worth the $5 but maybe this time I’ll luck into one of the better ones… If not I guess I’ll have to blame the goat - oh wait. Not doing that! I’m the goat. Hmm maybe it won’t ship to arrive until next month then I would be off the hook.
@CaptAmehrican Would it still be my fault if I ran away to sea? I see the Harvey Gamage will be in the Fells point to Norfolk race. I worked on that boat before and still have my t-shirt. I could run away to that boat. Then I’d be a nautical goat (no need to post the goat in the inner tube image or the several that have been up of goats in boats - they are all motor boats, canoes, etc for starters) and so can then throw cold water on your goatly comment (snicker).
This is how my past few weeks have been Already had bad days now no fukoburro to replace some now ‘junk’ that wasn’t junk previously but now thrown out … Of course I’m luckier than some and definitely than my parents whose house was flooded in Houston suburb.Only my garage got water but lost some ‘stuff’ oh well…it’s only things…praying for all similarly affected, like my parents, who must start over in their 80’s and can’t get back In their home . Congratulations to lucky mehers who scored a bag…
I was a Woot charter member, visited every night at midnight- never got a random bag of crap. I’ve been here since day 2 or 3, visited every night at 11:00 and FINALLY got my first Fukobukuro!
I got a confirmation mundane-instrumental-quiver. YAY! Except something broke later and my order has been canceled. Luckily, I did get the next fuko bag during the VMP sale but still. meh.
@Pantheist@ralph “Jerk”!? That’s a bit harsh. If someone wants to throw $5 towards a company to have said company ship them a bag of unknown products, they should be able to buy as many as they choose. Don’t be that guy that hates on those who are faster at clicking through the buying process and are successfully able to obtain more than one bag. Or even a single bag at that.
@EvilTuna31x When I don’t get a bag I don’t begrudge those who get one, but are you really that much happier with two or three than you’d be with one? Why not give someone else a chance.
I told myself that unless I happened upon a fuku naturally, I was not going to obsess over it. Got out of the shower, refreshed meh, and lo and behold. I own a

I won this one and just noticed that my birthday is included in the delivery range. Yea! Hey Meh - this is going to be a happy birthday box. Right? (um yeah now that I said that I am sure they’ll pick me out an especially crappy one cuz when I suggested what santa might bring me might be nice to have an a fuko box, mine arrived only marginally taped and empty (yes they did send me some meh branded stuff as a replacement for my missing fuko box contents though).
@Kidsandliz mine never left processing, however I’m not worried: this is MEH, I would be far more worried what horrific items they sent if they shipped immediately. I’m surprisingly meh about my fuko taking awhile to ship. Whenever it does come, I promised my coworker I’d show him my fuko when it came in because he just found out about meh.com when he saw my meh shirt with the emoji. He’s SO jealous of the shirt and I’d offer him on but I’m a large but he’s 2XL. (Funny side note, my micromanaging boss HATES the shirt, so I make sure to wear it once a week).
@capguncowboy They can’t do that! What’s next? They’ll just change the entire listing so that it reads as we all purchased a 2-pack of candy corn instead of a fuko?
/giphy there are no rules
@tightwad my old boss was the reason I was able to get the job, however the administrators were lazy and did an informal interview as I was the only person on the eligibility list. Normally you have to have a formal interview (which is a written/oral exam), but as I was the only one on the list, they didn’t want to have to certify the exam (takes 4-6 weeks). My current boss has always held it against me and when she took over, she didn’t want me around. The problem for her was that I’m the most qualified for both her job and my own and our turnover rate is exceeding high since she took over (~83% over two years) so they needed me to train an entirely new staff. Long story short, I got a transfer, they blocked it and I found proof; turns out blocking a transfer is harassment and falls under affirmative action. Neat, eh?
So exciting got my first box, had a garment steamer, a refurbed IP camera(with a sticky note with some notes on it, wonder if it’s a secret clue?), MEH SOCKS(SCORE), bag, a ceramic jar with a lid, that MIRACULOUSLY did not break in shipping, a coffee mug.
Two king sized duck pillows. Some motorcycle storage thingy, another pair of MVP Meh socks . a sticker. A bag. aaaannndddd a beef thermometer that moos when the meat is ready. The pillows and the socks made it worth it. Sadly no nasty melted candy corn.
So… I was just off doing RPG stuff with friends. Playing Pathfinder. What do I find when I get home? A FREAKING PATHFINDER CORE BOOK.
Also a red bag, a pair of Meh socks, a sticker, a bluetooth speaker, a mug with a skull in the bottom, and a little flyer singing the praises of a designer cake cutter that wasn’t in the box.

@Euniceandrich Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
@mediocrebot same here :(…
@Euniceandrich Just as a head’s up for the future, because of the robot check on fukos you can’t buy from the forum thread even if you’re quick enough.
@PurplePawprints Thank you! I always dream that some day it will work - but usually do that as a joke.
I got one!

Got it!

Woohoo got one
Well that was quick. Or I was slow.
/giphy babbling-dependable-trail
Missed it last night! Glad I had to get up early for work this morning.
I did it . . . ? I DID IT!!!
Huzzah! Been a while since I got one of these.
/giphy distracting sunken measure
About damn time. It’s been like a year or something
Edit: It’s actually been a year and 3 days
Worst streak ever
wow, I got one…miracles do happen!
False hope. It stuttered loading the buy it page, and that was it.
/giphy mimicking-gross-heat
How do you actually buy one of these? Clicked buy immediately and it was sold it.
@jordancarr It’s an elaborate ruse.
@jordancarr Have to be a little faster than immediately.
@MrMark fact
I got my first ever one!
@koils Are you prepared for the disappointment? I don’t think you’re prepared for the disappointment.
@SSteve Yes I’m ready, just to see what the disapointment will be. I’m sure melted candy corn will be part of it.
@koils Or worse: un-melted candy corn!

These captchas suck and take too damn long
Holy carp! I actually got one.
/giphy ginormous-triumphant-warlord
@SPARTEN2 so many things about that gif bother me.
@Thumperchick “Ant” it the truth !!
So close.
Getting up at this completely unreasonable (west coast) time paid off.

/giphy illiterate emotional jasmine
I was there! Stray tap and all my info was wiped out.
Ok anyone else think as tommrow is talk like a pirate day they missed out doing pirate theme mehrathon
tried on my comp and on my iPhone. both had 5 stupid captchas in a row… sold out by the time I got through them
I hope there’s another bag… just barely missed this one
@MarinaXD There will be another but it will only be for VMP. At least that’s what happened last time.
@SSteve :’[
Recaptcha wouldnt checkmark so I couldn’t click buy! Buy the time it did…sold old
Darn got to the order screen but too slow i guess
I finally got one! it’s only been 3yrs in the making!
/giphy exhausted-sopping-desire
@oppodude That’s probably my favorite order number ever.
@peaceetc It is quite nice. Plus the gif is woot-related. Bastards robbed me of a BOC.
Second time in one day that I got to miss a fuko because it wanted to me to re-enter my credit card number. I guess trying is just stupid, at this point.
@christinewas go to your account page and update it there. If you’re shipping to a new address, that may be causing that, too.
Thanks, @Thumperchick
(I even managed to get one on the third try. Because I was silly enough to keep trying.)
Hey, I missed it, but I woke up in time to hit my meh button.
Captcha is why we can’t have meh things
I survived Irmageddon and all I got was this Fuko.
/giphy towering-habitual-loon
The buy it page slowed for 10 seconds and that’s all she wrote :o(
GOT IT!
blasé resourceful muffin
Missed the one at midnight…got this one.

It’s been over a year since my last Fuku.
Ugh missed again
We honestly get a fuku bag sale for VMP members Only? Have the sale alongside the standard promotionals

Knew this was coming, it was around the same time as the last Meh-rathon.

DA FUCK???
I refreshed right at 01 seconds…wait…wait…wait… FUCKU comes up, immediately click buy it, nothing happens…Then I open another tab and it’s sold out?
WHAT THE FUCK?
Reacted instantly and only had two small captchas this time (maybe 6-7 seconds total after loading), but it was already gone.
It kind of sucks that they have the same amount of these things as two years ago despite the site having 10x more users.
Oh well.
/giphy wet-excitable-book
@skiptomystew That’s a keeper.
@cinoclav You meant singular as in a pair, I assume? Nice GIF too.
@PhysAssist I meant the gif/person as a whole.
@cinoclav Hehehehe!!!
Thanks for an excuse to come back and watch it again.
I thought I had it. Waited for the green bar to finish and got:
"Oops. We had a problem placing your order."
does this mean i don’t get it after all?
1 second reaction insufficient to score some crap…
Once again couldn’t buy -got. WHITE screen on this device sold out on another device
ReCaptcha with images in the app??? Not good. How can one be a bot using the app?
Yea got one! Knew there was likely one soon, and likely a VMP one later but no way I am trying to do this while driving nor pulling over to do it.

@Kidsandliz still your goatly fault
@CaptAmehrican Would it still be my fault if I ran away to sea? I see the Harvey Gamage will be in the Fells point to Norfolk race. I worked on that boat before and still have my t-shirt. I could run away to that boat. Then I’d be a nautical goat (no need to post the goat in the inner tube image or the several that have been up of goats in boats - they are all motor boats, canoes, etc for starters) and so can then throw cold water on your goatly comment (snicker).
@Kidsandliz harvey garmage is a lovely boat. I would understand wanting to run away to sea (or bay) on her
@CaptAmehrican Yes she sails well, even when sails are torn due to stupidity (grin)
/giphy sedentary-weedy-manager
am I doing this right?
Oh for the love of all that’s holy! Was on the buy page and click this that and the other thing and it tells me it doesn’t know what I am buying. Poo.
YES! Can’t believe I got one. First one ever!
@QuintinA Me too!!!
Woo hoo! Second ever fuko for me. I just didn’t learn my lesson last time, I guess. /giphy rolly-moral-act
@ConradHilton I was even wearing a meh shirt, sitting in my car with a meh sticker on the back glass when i bought.
This is how my past few weeks have been

This is like my 4th one. You’d think I’d learn, but for $5, the feeling of anticipation alone is worth it.
Miss it cause of that stupid I’m not a robot verification nonsense
@chris4056 I got hit by it twice but clicked stuff super fast and got one when my buddy next to me clicked a second later and was sold out lol
Picked the exact wrong time to walk the dog.
The bright side: I didn’t have to deal with captcha, and my dog pooped 3 times!
@gregormehndel That’s like winning three bags of crap!
@sligett Yeah, but no.
I was a Woot charter member, visited every night at midnight- never got a random bag of crap. I’ve been here since day 2 or 3, visited every night at 11:00 and FINALLY got my first Fukobukuro!

One of my Facebook friends posted this a few minutes ago. I have to disagree, though, because being mediocre is exactly why I woke up this morning.
Got mine – figured it might be around the 8AM hour. Didn’t count on waiting 50 minutes for it to reveal itself. But, woo-hoo!

@EvilTuna31x same happened to me, maybe you can’t get more than one total during the day?
@ralph Yeah, if you try to be a jerk and order more than one, they cancel extras.
@Pantheist @ralph “Jerk”!? That’s a bit harsh. If someone wants to throw $5 towards a company to have said company ship them a bag of unknown products, they should be able to buy as many as they choose.

@EvilTuna31x @ralph
As @thumperchick could tell you, there is a limit of 1 per person.
Even Woot has restrictions with the BoC.
@EvilTuna31x @ralph @pantheist @dave
I don’t have the numbers for all 4 listings of the Fuko yesterday, but I know that 9 orders were cancelled from the first listing of the Fuko.
I guess if somebody tries buying more than one, any of them could be cancelled.
@gumtreertmug @EvilTuna31x @ralph @pantheist Fukobukuro - order more than one per event and the extras will be canceled. (An event can mean a day, meh-rathon, etc.)
Now - go find something more fun to do, like read The Mehliad.
@Thumperchick
I’m already doing something fun though.
I’m watching a pot full of water which is on a stove with an active flame. Right next to it is a live feed of a wall with paint.
When I feel the need to pause, there’s somebody who I trade positions with.
They watch one thing, and I watch the other.
@gumtreertmug Do you take a break to watch grass grow? Or is golf more your style?
@Thumperchick
I used to have a live video feed of a cup filled with dirt, which had grass seeds in aforementioned dirt.
It was an enjoyable feed.

@Empurfektion
Estimated Delivery
FedEx SmartPost: Tuesday, October 10th - Monday, October 16th
So they’ll probably ship sometime between 10/5/17-10/11/17.
@Empurfektion @medz And now it’s been edited to show Monday October 30th - November 2nd
WTF Meh?
@capguncowboy Maybe they ran out of crap to put i them?
And mine is back to "processing"after it claimed to have shipped.
@Kidsandliz mine never left processing, however I’m not worried: this is MEH, I would be far more worried what horrific items they sent if they shipped immediately. I’m surprisingly meh about my fuko taking awhile to ship. Whenever it does come, I promised my coworker I’d show him my fuko when it came in because he just found out about meh.com when he saw my meh shirt with the emoji.

@Empurfektion two weeks after you stop checking .
No really mine is still processing. A month or so is not unheard of.
@capguncowboy They can’t do that! What’s next? They’ll just change the entire listing so that it reads as we all purchased a 2-pack of candy corn instead of a fuko?
/giphy there are no rules
@medz
@Empurfektion Oh no, mine shipped. I’m scared. Hilariouslyit will come on my last day of work before my transfer, lol.
@seraphimcaduto Umm perhaps not wise to tick off your boss wearing that shirt?
@capguncowboy And now mine is back to shipped again showing a 10/12 delivery date
@Kidsandliz the reason I’m getting a transfer is workplace harassment (for the past two years) from said boss, so angering them now is a moot point.
@seraphimcaduto That sounds terrible…what happened?
@tightwad my old boss was the reason I was able to get the job, however the administrators were lazy and did an informal interview as I was the only person on the eligibility list. Normally you have to have a formal interview (which is a written/oral exam), but as I was the only one on the list, they didn’t want to have to certify the exam (takes 4-6 weeks). My current boss has always held it against me and when she took over, she didn’t want me around. The problem for her was that I’m the most qualified for both her job and my own and our turnover rate is exceeding high since she took over (~83% over two years) so they needed me to train an entirely new staff. Long story short, I got a transfer, they blocked it and I found proof; turns out blocking a transfer is harassment and falls under affirmative action. Neat, eh?
Wow. Get it in time to hand out the junk to kids on Halloween!
