I hate those fucking Fukobukuros

Pamela thought this was worth mentioning said Mon, Dec 4th 2017 at 4:28pm ET

I’ve never gotten one yet and not for lack of trying. I suspect my Internet connection just isn’t fast enough which means I will never get one. The way they are handled would feel a lot fairer if there was some mechanism to enable people who’ve never gotten one to get one over people who have gotten four, five or more.

- @mypiesarepiff Don’t move where I live. You will not be happy. Fastest you can get is 20mbps with any provider. Some parts of town can only get 3.

High demand + low supply = a lot of disappointed folks.

- @narfcake I know why it happens. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible to try to spread the disappointment around a little more than the current approach does.

- @daveinwarsh I didn’t say anything about hating everything I cannot get. I dislike it when people distort my words by putting “also” in a sentence that has nothing to do with what I wrote, but I wouldn’t say I hate it.

- @Pamela Sorry… I was joking around. My internet speed varies a LOT according to time of day. I click on stuff & it’s sold out before I have a chance. Other times, I hit it just right. Perseverance!!

I haven’t even tried the past couple of times. I’ve got boxes from over a year ago that I have stuff from the exchanges/fukos still in them.

Not to say that I won’t try, I will, but I’m making myself not get to upset if I don’t get one. (me to brain “think of something else, think of something else”…)

I’ve missed a couple of opportunities today because I’m setting up my husband’s new computer. There were some just damn I missed it by seconds moments.
