@andrewkl didn’t matter as I’m A VMP and couldn’t get one and didn’t have to do the captcha either ![vmp losers stand in line here , as I point to self ]
@andrewkl@bghozali I didn’t get anything about VMP only, just that it was sold out because I took too long trying to figure out if a school bus counted as a car in the pictures.
@berchtold You are a “member.” You pay $4.99 a month for free shipping. VMP members pay $5/month for free shipping. If you look at the icon by your name, there’s a heart in the middle of the shield. VMP members have a “V” in the middle.
VMP membership has been closed to new members. VMP members that leave the membership cannot get back in.
@Funkthulhu Yep, I refreshed right as the countdown got to 0, Fuku popped up, I clicked Buy, got to the buy page, scrolled down and checked the “I am not a robot” box, and clicked Buy.
Just got VMP’d again. The Instant Regret is not only for those who win it. It is for those who try to win it and are spurned because they are not the chosen ones. The Double Meh-tondra of regret.
@wifeduck You are a “member.” You pay $4.99 a month for free shipping. VMP members pay $5/month for free shipping. If you look at the icon by your name, there’s a heart in the middle of the shield. VMP members have a “V” in the middle.

@phonorad@ThunderChicken the little VMP only banner didn’t show when the deal first loaded, so a bunch of us undeserving peons tried for it. Just another reminder to keep us in our place.

@Kyser_Soze@xrayeyes stands for very mediocre person—yeah thats me, as I pay $5.00 dollars a month for usually nothing (unless I buy then I get free shipping).
@kcantonwmu@mingopher You guys are regular members, not VMPs. VMPs are the OGs who never canceled their memberships when they closed the program for the first time a few years ago.
Heart icon = member
V icon = VMP
Poop icon = someone who canceled VMP
@Ghostwheel Pure chance for me. I had it up in another tab and wasn’t even paying attention. I switched to see what the new item was, saw it was an IRK and then bought it. If it didn’t just happen to be a VMP only item I probably wouldn’t have been fast enough.
I have never been able to snag one of these and I’ve been a member since just about day 1. But today I noticed this is happening… (look at the highlighted areas)

@lumpthar I don’t just consider it an extra penny. It’s $60/year just for the privilege of having this VMP only sale. Many months go by that I don’t buy anything and I would have canceled if I had regular Meh membership but, with VMP, if I cancel I cannot get it back and this VMP only sale during the Meh-rathaon is the only extra benefit – on this particular site.
WORST POSSIBLE TIME FOR multi-box captcha. Why does Meh need captchas if you’re logged in to your account anyway? In stock before captcha. Seconds delay while I complete captcha. Out of stock once I’m verified not to be a robot.
Woo-hoo, I got one. Didn’t have to choose parts of pictures, didn’t have to do a captcha. I think it’s been a while. Just checked, it was April. Every six months is okay.
Hey Meh staff, what on earth happened here? VMP hour is 4-5pm Eastern. Instead, the VMP IRK happened at 3:30???
That’s pretty lousy. I purposely made time in my day to be available from 4 to 5.

VMP members only? Sheeeit…
@andrewkl what is VMP?
@andrewkl I was so close too
@berchtold A members program… pay a monthly fee and your shipping is free (or flat rate? Not really sure)
@andrewkl I had the same response, what does it mean? I have the monthly subscription.
@andrewkl Something that if you are one, you’d know it, and if you’re not, you never can be.
@andrewkl weird I have the membership but still got the message. Shame.
@andrewkl didn’t matter as I’m A VMP and couldn’t get one and didn’t have to do the captcha either ![vmp losers stand in line here , as I point to self ]
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.

@andrewkl @bghozali I got that error too and I am already a member.
@NateDAWG296 you are a member not VMP that is why you got the error.
@andrewkl @berchtold You are not VMP.

The bots win again

Huh. That’s an interesting interpretation.
Let’s try without the dashes…
/image chunky vital expansion
Apparently it’s all about the groceries?
Crap! VMP only.
i guess i missed the VMP messaging
cap…tchaaaaaargggh
Got damn “are you a robot” can suck it. Suck it long, suck it hard.
@khiddy I got stuck there too… It asked me 2 times.
“It Worked!!”
/giphy dazzling-sweet-bridge
F-ing Captcha got me. I was logged in and everything. I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT.
@indiebass I feel your pain, same here.
/giphy gushing-marketable-derby
VMP members only? Sheeeit…
@andrewkl Yeah I got the same thing, I thought I got one for a second
@andrewkl @miso_ohio Me too.
Woo-hoo! Got one after missing the last couple due to actually having to do real work and having to prove I’m REALLY not a robot.
It sold out before it went up for sale
that recapta is killingme!
Grrrrr
Got it, who said having the flu was bad?
Got one. Still though… fuck you captcha!
Told me I was a robot??? “You can’t buy this if you’re a robot”
@focalpoint You and me both. Robots ftw!
Fucking “Captcha”! Missed out again…
I mean. . . is it actually possible for physical people who push real buttons to actually get one of these? (asking for a friend)
@Funkthulhu yes it is, just got one
@Funkthulhu Yep, I refreshed right as the countdown got to 0, Fuku popped up, I clicked Buy, got to the buy page, scrolled down and checked the “I am not a robot” box, and clicked Buy.
How certain are you of that?
@Funkthulhu yep, it’s definitely possible. Just did it.
/giphy loveable-juicy-liquid
@accumulator I have odd feelings about that gif…
@Funkthulhu Yeah, I’m hoping that it’s not any kind of an indicator regarding the contents.
Argh!!! No VMP for me
Why captcha
Doesn’t matter… I hit buy within 10 seconds of the clock starting… and got sold out message… guessing they had 3 to sell… 130 sold… my ass
@bjvangundy Why did you wait so long? I hit buy it now within 3 seconds.
I want one
Just got VMP’d again. The Instant Regret is not only for those who win it. It is for those who try to win it and are spurned because they are not the chosen ones. The Double Meh-tondra of regret.
@cfg83 even VMPs are screwed, because for some reason it said I wasn’t one…
@wifeduck you’re not.
@wifeduck You are a “member.” You pay $4.99 a month for free shipping. VMP members pay $5/month for free shipping. If you look at the icon by your name, there’s a heart in the middle of the shield. VMP members have a “V” in the middle.

Vmp members should be allowed to buy more than one during the meh-rathons
@matthewwhitt2 Think of how you would feel if you hit every button perfectly and didn’t get one kit to regret. Sniff, woe is me for I am no VMP.
Finally refresh and click fast enough to maybe get one only to find that it’s VMP only. Click on VMP and it says sold out. Whhhhhyyyyyyyy?!?!?
GGGGRRRRRR VMP only
Whew. Finally.
/giphy disgusted-soaked-death
No captcha and still every loading green bar of promises unfulfilled until sold out…meh
hahaha you got me to click the buy button, but there was nothing left. You win this round.
/giphy slow clap
I was about to buy it everything was working… Then… Then the f****** robot thing took too long and I didn’t get it
@GaviD I know your pain only too well. Those who don’t win feel the full brunt of REGRET.
@cfg83 @GaviD I thought that was the “Instant” part.
Hot dog!
/giphy fouled-unwritten-prawn
Beaten by the captcha- is a school bus considered a car?
@stolicat Nice try Robot.
What do you mean VMP only, where is the notification on the main page?? Arggghhhh!!
@phonorad Wouldn’t matter. There’s no time to read if you expect to get one.
@phonorad @ThunderChicken the little VMP only banner didn’t show when the deal first loaded, so a bunch of us undeserving peons tried for it. Just another reminder to keep us in our place.
Told me it was only available to VMP MEMBERS!! I AM A F*&#%@ VMP MEMBER!! What the actual F**?

WTF is a VMP?
@xrayeyes VaMPire?
@Kyser_Soze @xrayeyes stands for very mediocre person—yeah thats me, as I pay $5.00 dollars a month for usually nothing (unless I buy then I get free shipping).
I jumped on this right away, then got an error message saying i’m not a VMP (i am), once it fixed itself, it was too late. True MEH.
@kcantonwmu same here
@kcantonwmu Same with me! MEHH!
@kcantonwmu @mingopher You guys are regular members, not VMPs. VMPs are the OGs who never canceled their memberships when they closed the program for the first time a few years ago.
Heart icon = member
V icon = VMP
Poop icon = someone who canceled VMP
@kcantonwmu You’re just a “member”. Not a “VMP”.
@ShotgunX I believe the poop icon is someone who cancels regular membership.
@kcantonwmu @ShotgunX fair enough, thanks for the explanation!
Whoo-hoo! First the Nationals win, then I score an IRK!
I am VMP and missed also. Not quick enough
@crow me too! Waaaah!!

Haven’t been checking all day but got “lucky” when I came by a little bit ago…
/giphy glorious-ecstatic-bear
Got one! Finally!
/giphy wakeful-innocent-faucet
I’ve been trying for 5 years to get one of these bundles. Has anybody ever gotten one? How?
@Ghostwheel sheer dumb luck or lack thereof —it’s ever how you want to look at it
@Ghostwheel uhh, by trying?
@Ghostwheel I used a mouse connected to my computer connected to the internet.
@Ghostwheel Pure chance for me. I had it up in another tab and wasn’t even paying attention. I switched to see what the new item was, saw it was an IRK and then bought it. If it didn’t just happen to be a VMP only item I probably wouldn’t have been fast enough.
/giphy kindhearted-venomous-beef
meh has done a good job beating me down. I got one, and am not really thrilled as the last ones I’ve gotten have been pretty bad.
Yet I come back for more.
I have a problem.
my order number is appropriate;

Thanks meh for continuously making me prove I’m not a robot each and every time until its sold out.
/giphy unoccupied-zany-mermaid
Awesome. I mean…meh
I tried about 4 times today and finally got one. The last one I received a few months ago was awesome. It was a 3 piece hard sided luggage
Well, at least I got another Meh button click out of it
/giphy small consolation
I have never been able to snag one of these and I’ve been a member since just about day 1. But today I noticed this is happening… (look at the highlighted areas)

Every single fucking time I get busy at work and have to walk away from the computer… Praying for the VMP savior.
@cinoclav Apparently that was the VMP savior
@cinoclav Umm you just missed it.
@Kidsandliz @lichme Yeah, so it seems. Wtf was that? Not even at 4 pm EST. I hate today.
F
Woo-hoo, I got one. Didn’t have to choose parts of pictures, didn’t have to do a captcha. I think it’s been a while. Just checked, it was April. Every six months is okay.
/giphy impressive-abhorrent-hill
Was kicking myself for taking that bio-break at 9:59 am. Woo for single picture CAPTCHAs with 16 pieces…much easier than the 16-image ones
Hey Irk, make a T-Shirt of the bag. I will buy it. I promise (fingers crossed behind back).
Why do some people get captchas and not others?
More importantly, why do I always get them? LOL
@kirkslaw You must be a robot. Only robots have to prove they are not robots.
@cengland0
I
OK, I’m confused. I am K and VMP yet I got caught in the captcha. Does VMP only now get preference over K?
Hey Meh staff, what on earth happened here? VMP hour is 4-5pm Eastern. Instead, the VMP IRK happened at 3:30???
That’s pretty lousy. I purposely made time in my day to be available from 4 to 5.
Will there be another irk today or is it usually just the one?
@star2236 There are usually multiples. You have already missed several based on when you posted.
