Very sneakily was able to get the order in on my phone while watching The Two Popes with the wife. Next mission will be in a few weeks when I try to explain why a package from Meh suddenly arrived on our doorstep. Man this was all so much easier before she started working from home.
@pennsatucky it’s less an instant regret and more of a delayed regret. My wife even hates the included bags because they are an awkward shape for grocery shopping
Wow. I actually got one. And… It didn’t suck. You sent me a set of sheets that actually fit my bed. Really? How am I supposed to regret this? So much for truth in advertising.
my box came open. the bag was gone. i did get a rolling duffel, a pair of socks, some screen cleaner, and some tiny gift bags.
well i just looked up my duffel, and it is a $25 duffle. win. and the screen cleaner works well, my screen is now clean. win! i’m flying on monday and can use compression socks. win!
i don’t currently have a use for the tiny gift bags, but i’m sure i can find something. potential win.
only regret is box came open so not sure what else fell out with the meh bag.
Well, crap. It went straight to the audio capture and I didn’t have my headset plugged in. So, I had to find my headset and plug it in. By the time I could do that, it was gone. Captcha timed out once, as well. Had to do the crosswalk captcha, too. Oh, well.
I thought for sure this was some kind of joke/scam with the I am not a robot thing. It looped me again and again. Timed out the robot thing, teased me a while then said “sold out.” Boo
@tim878 It says partial month refund. “You may cancel your membership at any time and we’ll end your benefits and waive your partial-month bill.” and " Previous monthly charges are non-refundable, including those in which no use of services occurred."
Except you can even cancel the day before it’s up for renewal and get a refund, provided that no purchases were made from when the membership was paid for.
That second part of your comment means that once a new month begins, you can’t get a refund on a previous month.
@tim878 So if, after midnight EST, if I don’t buy anything, I can get a full refund just by canceling? It will not be prorated at 1 day of 31 like the membership rules say? It’s only 16 cents but still isn’t a full refund.
@support@tim878 I think it says partial month because if it’s been a full month you don’t get anything back (as in the previous month). I’m pretty sure they refund the last $4.99 you paid any time before you pay another $4.99.
@therealjrn Don’t get confused about the support name. Just was one of the email addresses I had years ago for a company I own and I’m still using that same ID. I’m not support for meh or have any affiliation with them.
Not that I really WANT a box of junk, but I just watched my “order” run through 12 times (the green bar at the bottom) before it showed as “sold out.” Twelve times! That is just not right.
Clicked I am not a robot - failed to order for some reason but not sold out - clicked buy again response stated are you a robot when box was clicked for no. Tried a few times - went out of purchase to try to purchase again this time said sold out. Was I not given a IRK because of a computer error?
@eonfifty Oh…that’s when things really geared down.
They spent a WHOLE SEASON with the what? Couple-three day riot? LOT AND LOTS AND LOTS of flashbacks and long, long, pauses and gazing at each other.
A mean guard was shot in the leg, stroked out and died by that same harlot that had the baby by the one guard and “slept” with Pornstasch. The big brute of a guard was killed accidentally by the other guards and they’re trying to pin it Tasha. …the girls were scattered over the country to other prisons after the riot and some ended up down the hill in Max.
They have spent a WHOLE SEASON on the backstory of these two sisters who killed their little sister and are now trying to kill each other in Max.
@therealjrn
I guess I stopped at the right time. The last series I watched weekly until the end was Lost. Sounds like OITNB has turned into a bunch of Nikki and Paolo episodes.
/giphy was Lost lost
@sammydog01@therealjrn
I heard the book has a different presentation than the Netflix series, but I haven’t read it.
On a related note, what do you accurately call something like OITNB? Can you call it a TV show? A digital web show? A/V show? An online content show?
/giphy a segmented movie
@eonfifty@sammydog01 In a previous life I worked for the Department of Corrections as a contract staffer in a private prison. So I can relate to much of the problems with privatization, but fuck if they aren’t just dicking around with the story here in the last seasons.
I’m glad I didn’t waste time on her whiney-ass book. Prison is not a fun place to be, either way. They’re just necessary, but miserable, sad places.
@eonfifty@sammydog01 Ha ha. Our guys ate pretty damn good, but we would get a lot of donations from the food bank. Some of that shit was crazy expensive, like those gift box trees from fancy-shmancy places, and fresh fruit that was really close to being over-ripe, but still very good.
Where I worked it was the last stop for them before getting released, so it wasn’t as hard-core as other yards. It was kinda like camp, but without the s’mores and sing-alongs.
@sammydog01@therealjrn
From the episodes I’ve seen, I’d say that book description would best describe an element of some scenes in the early episodes. As the series went on, that element was used less, or it was used more seriously and less “first world problem-ey.”
@eonfifty@sammydog01 One element that rang true for me was the amount of inmate labor to run the place. We used inmates for maintenance, cooking, cleaning, all that shit. I don’t know about the driving though, we weren’t allowed to use inmates for driving. I can’t imagine why a prison would do that, just from the liability alone.
Our guys did their own laundry individually. We had a bed bug problem too, one summer. That was fun, pulling out everybody’s mats and shit from the dorms, cleaning everything and spraying it down…fucking bed bugs.
@eonfifty@sammydog01 Ha ha. We had some guys who were assigned to work on clearing out brush and picking up trash and shit from the roads. That was as close to Cool Hand Luke as it got. Fuck me though, if I was an inmate I’d rather be out and about in the sunshine and stuff rather than just laying up in my bunk. Most of the men felt the same way. But yeah, it was called “Community Service” Some of the guys got to work at the courthouse doing janitorial stuff. I’d rather be doing something “out there” rather than being stuck on the yard lol.
Besides, if you worked it right, you could call your boo, smoke cigarettes, see your boo even when you’re out on a crew.
Ours was more of a half-way house. No fences and shit. The guys could get real jobs too, which was really the whole idea. We would take them back and forth to work, or their bosses/approved rides could come pick them up. Sundays a lot of them went to area churches who would come in and pick them them up. Some of the churches always put on a big feed on Sundays. Over-all it was pretty chill for prison, but it was still prison.
I got one late last night against all reasonable expectations considering how long it took. When the IRK popped up and I hit the buy button it took a while to load the next page, but still within reason for an IRK. But the next screen was a login screen even though I was already logged in. So I logged in again and waited, and waited, until finally the purchase screen showed up. By this time I am thinking it is way past time for them all to be sold out but I kept going. I checked the I Am Not A Robot button and hit BUY IT ALREADY. And waited…and waited…until it says “Something went wrong. Are you sure you’re not a robot?” even though the button is clearly checked. By this time I am swearing and my wife is getting concerned about me. I know it is now pointless but I click the Buy It Already button again. And waited…and waited…and then it worked! It went against every IRK buying rule considering how long this took and all the extra steps I had to take. I feel like I cheated somehow.
Wow. I received the shipping notice less than 48 hours after the purchase. I guess my IRK must have really been stinking up the warehouse if they were this eager to get rid of it.
Pretty disappointed. My IRK came this week. It had a women’s electric razor in it. I gave it to my wife without looking at it. She didn’t understand that it was from an IRK on meh. She made a comment that the seal on the box of the razor was broken. I figured it was an open box return or something. Then she commented that there were missing pieces and that there were batteries already installed. Then she took the top of the razor off, like if you were going to clean it out. It was definitely used. Big long black hairs all over the place. Effing gross.
Well that was a whole new bunch of fucking stupid. I had to enter my already saved credit card info. Then I had to enter the security code. Then I had to redo the captcha because it “expired.” Then it said they were selling fast. Then it said I can’t buy if I’m a robot twice. Then it said sold out. Wtf?
Now that’s not fair. It said I couldn’t buy any more but I never got one. I tried again and it gave a different error like too many people are trying to buy and try again. Then I tried again and it thought I was a robot even though I already passed that test.
Had the craziest errors pop up telling me to hurry because it was selling out. All the green process button kept doing was go across the screen but IT NEVER PROCESSED!
@sammydog01 don’t know but it was weird because I had to pick traffic lights then got the green check mark and hit buy —this happened twice and green line loaded and loaded and loaded…then third time sold out.
@AttyVette Same thing happened to me. After it failed the first time and I had to click the big green button again, it made me refresh the page and start over again because it forgot that I already did the captcha.
IRK bag is worth the $5. Also got a pair of faux velcro leggings - lady’s small, a set of mesh travel organizers, a miracle belt, and a set of Monster Sport bluetooth earbuds.
Also got a post-it note with a mystery code written on it…
Did everyone give up and go to bed?
I even had time to do the robot test. Twice. I guess Turing would be proud.

2 minutes to sell out. Y’all were sleeping.
Wowee wow wow wow wow. Post after post complaining about not getting an IRK and now I have one!

another mehrathon. another missed IRK.
That’s my Huge Announcement.
@mrchristian Maybe they will remove captcha on irk bags-now that would be huge…
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
@mediocrebot no I didn’t fail captcha captcha failed me I feel less of a human already without this debacle—-
I installed CAPTCHA to save my fellow robots from wasting money on this crap.
@mediocrebot sadly you are getting us humans too as collateral damage… sigh
Wow. I actually got one. And… It didn’t suck. You sent me a set of sheets that actually fit my bed. Really? How am I supposed to regret this? So much for truth in advertising.
@carolsiddall Don’t worry Carol, I have enough regret for the both of us. I got one piece of a Lovesac kid’s seat. Yeah…
They did throw in two IRK bags which is something? I mean, that’s the lie I’m telling myself.
more of these?
Wow a minute in and not sold out!
Sheesh. Server slowed down for a minute there. Couldn’t write my comment here. Glad it’s ok now.

Wahooo!
or… D’oh??
How did I manage to get one? I’ll never know!

I did not expect something so fitting.
3 minutes and not sold out??? Is this a record?
@tartanknickers I’ve been waiting years for the day I get one. Finally. Got. One.
THIS IS THE HUGE-ANNOUNCEMENT??
@therealjrn
Not sure how I managed to get one. My phone was loading slow as molasses! Although, after the last one, not sure if I should be happy or worried lol
3 mins ? Is the pity batch ? I bet its gonna be some crush workout mix and socks again.

i don’t currently have a use for the tiny gift bags, but i’m sure i can find something. potential win.
only regret is box came open so not sure what else fell out with the meh bag.
Yes
Wow I got one!!! Yay!!!
Gonna go buy a lotto ticket. I got one!
YES!

Still not sold out?
Stupid captcha kept me from getting it!!!
Well, crap. It went straight to the audio capture and I didn’t have my headset plugged in. So, I had to find my headset and plug it in. By the time I could do that, it was gone. Captcha timed out once, as well. Had to do the crosswalk captcha, too. Oh, well.

I tried on two different devices. Cleared the captcha and it still didn’t go through!!!
No captcha for me, but I decided not to spend $10 on junk.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I still timed out until it was sold out. Boo!
What is with the reCAPTCHA today?!? I’ve missed the IRK option twice because of it!
This probably took forever to sell out because the damn purchase page glitched for so many people. I got the loading bar 3 or 4 times.
Clicked buy three times. CAPTCHA expired twice.
I thought for sure this was some kind of joke/scam with the I am not a robot thing. It looped me again and again. Timed out the robot thing, teased me a while then said “sold out.” Boo

Wait, hold up.
Couldn’t process my order, but could process the membership subscription portion.
Hmmmm. My order either goes through or doesn’t I would have thought.
@MrMark Same thing happened to me. Now I’m going to be charged $5 but not shipped anything.
@support
If you cancel your membership without placing any other orders, you can get a refund on it.
@tim878 It says partial month refund. “You may cancel your membership at any time and we’ll end your benefits and waive your partial-month bill.” and " Previous monthly charges are non-refundable, including those in which no use of services occurred."

Thanks, I’ll go about cancelling.
On a side note, my membership processed at 11:00pm est, yet these sell out at 11:02 pm.
Shenanigans.
You should write into support…wait…what?
@support @tim878 I think it says partial month because if it’s been a full month you don’t get anything back (as in the previous month). I’m pretty sure they refund the last $4.99 you paid any time before you pay another $4.99.

Correct.

The big brute of a guard was killed accidentally by the other guards and they’re trying to pin it Tasha. …the girls were scattered over the country to other prisons after the riot and some ended up down the hill in Max.
