@truquito Same here. I think if you get as far as the green “order almost complete” bar you should be guaranteed one. Even if that means the staff at Meh have to walk around the office stealing crap off peoples’ desks to fill them–wait, isn’t that what they do already??
@blaineg@CALIRES OK so out of curiosity I tried two buy two sidedeal ones to see what would happen. You can’t. So that is out. I guess I should have clicked buy on the meh on when there were still some left. Oh well. I have one. No need to be greedy. (grin)
@CALIRES So, I just bought the sidedeal IRK after getting one here. Honestly, it’s not even fun over there. Looks like they never sell out, and even charge more for the one-off shipping.
Having gotten two IRK’s on the same day means I’ll be doubly disappointed when they arrive.
@blaineg@CALIRES I screwed that up then as I could have gotten an irk earlier (well unless I got pages and pages of streetlights, etc.) and didn’t think I was allowed so didn’t even try.
Yay!!! I’ve actually realized that the thrill of being able to order the IRK is greater than whatever I get from the box itself. Can meh just make a $5 box in limited numbers with nothing inside it?
The last item counted to zero, the IRK popped up,
I clicked buy instantly, checked kapcha box instantly, clicked order, green bar progresses, green bar reloaded and progressed, green bar stopped and said something went wrong, clicked buy it again; SOLD OUT.
I timed my effort. I completed the whole process in under 12 seconds!
I’ve never had an IRK! I guess I never will
@accelerator@blaineg Agreed. If the latency on your computer is high (like mine is such that it takes, on average 8 seconds for an irk to even load) you will likely only ever get one if, and only if, meh has a glitch and you get lucky. When they dropped to only offering 50 or 100 of them at once, it pretty effectively shut out those of us with crappy internet.
@blaineg@Kidsandliz Reality always hits me square in the face. OUCH! I pay for the fastest Internet with Xfinity but it certainly never gets close to what was promised.
I thought 12 seconds was pretty darn quick considering the Capcha images. I’m not a gamer, so my click reflexes must be pathetic.

Twice today foiled by Captcha Traffic Lights
I installed CAPTCHA to save my fellow robots from wasting money on this crap.
@chaos13 same
30 seconds into it and still 6 left! Who would have thought?
/giphy understanding-ridiculous-thought
Finally. I failed like three or four times during last week’s Meh-rathon.

Captcha wanting me to identify

Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.
My god you guys are fast
/giphy brainless-incoherent-zebra
Sold out before I could even complete the captcha.

Dang it. Scrolled and scrolled and then said sold out. So frustrating. Ahhh

/giphy LOSER
@Pony You are not alone!
Guess what? I didn’t get one!
Sigh.
WTF? The green bar filled about 7 times and then it’s sold out, are you kidding me MEH? This is bull
@truquito Don’t give up! That happened to me during the last mehrathon. I eventually scored one.
@truquito Same here. I think if you get as far as the green “order almost complete” bar you should be guaranteed one. Even if that means the staff at Meh have to walk around the office stealing crap off peoples’ desks to fill them–wait, isn’t that what they do already??
@MDR001 @truquito No not off of desks. They steal things out of the trash. Right?
/giphy poignant-flaky-flea
Finally! I can now die happy knowing I wasted five bucks.
@squishybrain
It’s a good feeling, isn’t it?
/giphy good feeling
@joelmw The best!

Now I can relax and ignore all of this expensive shit (not saying it’s a bad deal, just more than I’m willing to spend for stuff I’m not sure I need).

No Bag of Crap for me today. Maybe next time!
@seanrolsen Well, if you’re trying to get a BOC here, you’ll be waiting a long time.
Here at zero seconds, didn’t fumble the captcha, didn’t time out or hit a glitch.
This isn’t good for my heart, in either sense.
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.
Looks like the sidedeal IRK is the only one I’m gettin today.
@CALIRES You can only get one total.
@CALIRES SideDeal had an IRK?? Phooey!
@CALIRES The link is in the description for the single waffle maker y’all
@CALIRES @Kidsandliz They’re separate deals, you can get both.
@blaineg @CALIRES You might be able to buy both but you also might get one canceled out once meh goes to check.
@blaineg @CALIRES OK so out of curiosity I tried two buy two sidedeal ones to see what would happen. You can’t. So that is out. I guess I should have clicked buy on the meh on when there were still some left. Oh well. I have one. No need to be greedy. (grin)

@blaineg @CALIRES @Kidsandliz Two different sites, two different IRK’s. I guess time will tell.
@CALIRES @Kidsandliz No, it works just fine on two different events (Meh and Sidedeal), I’ve done it twice.
@blaineg @CALIRES I screwed that up then as I could have gotten an irk earlier (well unless I got pages and pages of streetlights, etc.) and didn’t think I was allowed so didn’t even try.
Advantage of getting the SideDeal irk was the 20% off coupon.
Foiled again! If I don’t get the next one, I’ll have to take drastic actions and get rid of my dial up internet.
I don’t know what y’all are complaining about. I ordered, cancelled and then changed my mind and ordered again.
Yay!!! I’ve actually realized that the thrill of being able to order the IRK is greater than whatever I get from the box itself. Can meh just make a $5 box in limited numbers with nothing inside it?
@shiranissosexy Some folks receive boxes very similar to what you described! Next to nothing!!
@shiranissosexy No thanks, I’ll be passing on an empty box.
bloody slow node more than captcha but…
… I am not a bot. I am a real boy. I am not a bot. I am a real boy. I am not a bot…
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
/giphy queasy-insecure-banshee
You snooze, you lose.
I snoozed.
@blaineg I did not snooze, yet I did lose.
So really, you won.
@whogots Yea, but like my little brother said: “Waking up in the morning is the worst thing I do all day. Why would I want to do it TWICE in one day?”
The last item counted to zero, the IRK popped up,
I clicked buy instantly, checked kapcha box instantly, clicked order, green bar progresses, green bar reloaded and progressed, green bar stopped and said something went wrong, clicked buy it again; SOLD OUT.

I’ve never had an IRK! I guess I never will
@accelerator If your benchmark for success is 12 seconds, you never will get one. You need low single digits.
@accelerator @blaineg Agreed. If the latency on your computer is high (like mine is such that it takes, on average 8 seconds for an irk to even load) you will likely only ever get one if, and only if, meh has a glitch and you get lucky.
