I GET THERE IN TIME TO BUY THE CRAP AND GET TAGGED INTO PROVING THAT I AM NOT A ROBOT. IF I WERE A DAMNED ROBOT I WOULD NOT BE TRYING TO BY THIS SHIT!!!
Gets me every time! Think I have one then have to jump through the stupid hoops. I don’t have any idea how the two winners ('cause that’s evidently all they have available each time) nab the prize so fast.
The reason you can’t isn’t because you’re a robot, but because you’re a reptilian. Your heart is as cold as your blood, and as such, you’re incapable of regret. The system realizes this, and blocks your purchase to prevent incompatibility.
Think next time they are taking $5.43 out of my bank account for VMP i will have capcha saying how many middle fingers do you see and than opps my bank account is empty…
Suggestion never have Mehs for non vmp members , have at least 2 IRKS for members over 5 years give us a friggen break if you don’t have a gaming computer you rarely ever are able to get in and buy in the first 10 seconds while the page is changing for me your selling out for people with faster computers
so i really have ZERO chance of getting these IRKS so team Meh we love you but even the playing field …
@mellowirishgent Unless you’re using something from 10+ years ago, your computer should have no issues loading a simple web page within a second. Your internet connection and/or network setup, and any security software you might be running, should have a much bigger effect.
@mellowirishgent I have a 7 year old computer, 25mbps that is usually slower, and often can get one. And yes sometimes I get cross walks, bikes, etc. and sometimes just a check mark. Seems to be random. If I get pictures to click on then I’m toast. If not I still might be toast but at least I have a chance. Also if you are refreshing the page wait a split second before you do as sometimes the irk page hasn’t loaded yet and you end up reloading the previous deal (yeah been there done that have the t-shirt).
@btwonder@Star2236 If your PC doesn’t have lots of colorful LEDs, then unfortunately you don’t qualify to purchase an IRK (which would just have more colorful LEDs).
Don’t hate me, but I’ve never been asked to verify I’m not a robot (on meh) with more than the little check box. I’ve also gotten every one of the last, I dunno, 6 IRKs?
unlike the rest of the people posting here I’ve never gotten one so don’t feel bad. I just console myself with the fact that when I did score a fuku it was nothing but junk so the irk may just be the same thing with a different name. It’s just annoying as hell when you hit that button and think you’ve finally scored.
@Enigma if you got a fuku, this is at least two degrees worse. First they went from lucky fuku to unlucky fuko. Then they got downgraded to instant regret. Ride the high of your good fortune and don’t let this bring you down.
@djslack thanks, yeah I reminisce on the junk I got and laugh. Things were sooooo much better when they were the real woot. Scoring a bag of crap you’d get some junk but there were really some decent things in there that you could use. Many items were new. That was the good ole days.
The same people getting multiple IRKs again and again. Is that how you like it Meh? You reward these clowns of the community who act like they own Meh. I’ve been VMP since your beginning and can’t get an IRK for the life of me. Are they filled with junk? Yes, from what I’ve read. I don’t even want one any more. It’s not my life’s aspiration. For those that hoard them like TP why don’t you grow up and let others have a chance?
@Rossome honestly, speaking as someone who actually did get an IRK this time, so hopefully that qualifies me as not being just sourgrapes… I do think there should be a cooldown period.
If you get an irk in one mehrathon, they shouldn’t let you get one in the next. Spread the love around a little.
How certain are you of that?
/giphy what is the matrix
agreed.
got me twice so far today…
Only a robot would post this. You’re not fooling anyone. Bleep bloop blip.
/8ball is the OP a bot?
Signs point to yes
Gets me every time! Think I have one then have to jump through the stupid hoops. I don’t have any idea how the two winners ('cause that’s evidently all they have available each time) nab the prize so fast.
Sounds like something a robot would say.
I’m a robot, and I could buy one just fine.

@mellowirishgent I got one with my phone while at a red light.
@mellowirishgent every time I’ve gotten an IRK I’ve used my cell phone on mobile data
@mellowirishgent I have gotten IRKS with a super slow computer and a phone. Turn off your ad blocker for Meh too.
@mellowirishgent Meh, keep doing what you’re doing. I love people’s meltdowns over not getting IRKs.
@mellowirishgent @MrMikenIkes I’ll remember the phone trick. Thanks.

@mellowirishgent My PC is nine years old and I managed it.
Could have been worse, you could have been fast enough to buy one…
What does a gaming computer have to do with getting one.
@Star2236 Lots of ray tracing involved in ordering a box filled with junk, apparently.
@btwonder @Star2236 If your PC doesn’t have lots of colorful LEDs, then unfortunately you don’t qualify to purchase an IRK (which would just have more colorful LEDs).

I’m probably jinxing myself now.
@btwonder
If we don’t get to hate you, how are we supposed to have any fun today?
@f00l I mean, do what thou wilt. Your hate only feeds my desire for Regret.
@btwonder I normally just get the checkbox. Only time I had to fill something out was when I tried to order an IRK
@btwonder the only time I’ve seen the picture irks is after failing the checkbox captcha test.
If I click buy before the captcha confirms I’m not a robot then it loads the pictures next time.
Which is a double whammy. Not only have I not got the irk that time, it guarantees I won’t get it the next time either.
Usually I don’t get the pictures though, and I never get them the first IRK of the day.
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)

@Rossome I’m getting mixed messages here. Do you want some of those sour grapes or not?
VMP has no effect, except to make shipping free and to give you a chance at the VMP-only offering.
