my first one!!!
although im expecting something like “you were 201 amd the system goofed. you dont get one.” bombed my interview - dentist with 4 cavities and forgot my work laptop this week. camt expect too much but JUST MAYBE! I REALLY GOT ONE
VALUABLE NUMERICAL CORK
@kennethdmabry oh man, i absolutely checked and refreshed my email. I went back to the main site before taking a screenshot of the order being complete
Dammit! That’s what I get for soldering pieces to my son’s gaming microphone in an effort to fix it rather than buy a new one. But totally worth a happy boy
Oh man, I didn’t realize that I missed reading all of the bitter comments from the people who didn’t get one. " Change your business model." " This is bullshit."
I am tickled by the bitterness these bring out in people. Don’t ever change, Meh.
@Willijs3 I didn’t even try to get one, my issue is that it’s legitimately not fair to a whole lot of people who follow, much less support, this site. And IRK/Fuko was always a special treat, and often wasn’t even available for non-members. I feel like Meh has lost it’s way, in not honoring those of us who have ben here through all the ups and downs. Glad you’re "tickled by the ‘bitterness’ " from those of us who are disappointed with the process, though.
@CBL_WV I feel like a majority of the whole treat of Irks/Fuko’s are that they’re special and rare and easy to miss out on? I’ve been on and off meh forever and even though I joined in 2014 when i was still a young teen and saw/missed out a lot on some Fuko’s, i didn’t get pissed/disappointed as missing out on these because they sell out so quickly is part of the process. If everyone got one they wouldnt feel as special and also the quality of them would obviously have to drop by a ton
@ciabelle On the one hand, sure; on the other, 20 seconds may have been too late, and you’d (well, I’d, but sometimes projecting works) feel worse the closer you were.
@ciabelle@mossygreen Yep — bronze medalists are generally happier than silver medalists. With a silver, they’re hating themselves for not quite getting it. But with bronze? They got a medal!
@PooltoyWolf Oh, no, apparently you’re “bitter” that Meh pulled this crap, and didn’t time it exactly so it’s convenient for you (or something, I’m just channeling all the people above, who don’t grasp my point!)
@CBL_WV no, you’ll notice that @PooltoyWolf is taking it in stride and having fun with it. Most of us won’t get one and most of us don’t whine about it.
Yeah I almost got a BOC yesterday at Woot but it hasn’t been 31 days since I bought the last one so they wouldn’t let me buy it. That’s okay though as the last BOC I got and also the last meh Irk I got ( irk in August last year) were all junk … nothing useful- at least to me! Would have been nice for the five dollar coupon from meh with this irk though but that’s just how it goes. Things more important than missing out in irks and BOC’s — night all mehers !
@AttyVette
I haven’t been on Woot in a long time, never really got into it over there. How often do they have BOC and how do you know when they’re happening?
@cfg83@hchavers@Ignorant, it’s, 7:00 AM CDT where I’m at, but as you said, No, Thanks!! The last thing I need is more useless shit!! I have plenty of crap cluttering up the rooms, hallway, work shop, carport, closets, garage apt, drawers, cabinets, or the compressor room!!
@1DisabledWarVet@cfg83@Ignorant that a pretty comprehensive list. What about the master bedroom, the kitchen, the laundry room, the spare bedroom you use as an office, your neighbor’s back corner that’s really yours, and trunk of the car on blocks out front?
@yugrudfooz I didn’t realize the card I have it on was maxed Its a spend card I always reload and just forgot. actually got through captcha and everything.
@Ignorant I know that, and it’s not my point (although it would be funnier if the IRKs were actually boxes of Nothing But Junk and floor sweepings.) It’s that this site does this kind of thing, at all. As if we’re supposed to be loaded and ready at exactly mindinght, and then don’t have internet issues on our own side that can’t even resolve this site in under an actual minute.
@CBL_WV it’s been this way since the old woot days. Early bird (has a chance to) get the worm.
It is what it is, miss it this time hope your luck is better next time. That’s it.
@CBL_WV sore loser meh? Instead of being happy for those who got one . . . meanwhile I diligently check at midnight on the dot for years and years and have scored many an IRK and fuku before that and have also missed many of them as well. Frustrating when I miss by seconds? Sure but then again, no one is forcing you to come back eh. Besides 12:08 is never gonna cut it. LOL
Ditto…I’m here every night…tonight we are having storm warnings and the power and all services went out for over an hour. We just got everything back and I see this. I feel like I live on a tilt-a-world. Not just this but everything is just out of sync. It’s just something else I missed out on.
@sunnysideup22
With a great username like sunny side up no one could ever say that you’re channeling anything other than good, positive energy! Maybe you should try some sort of reset, a saging of sorts…
I’m at the “screw you” point on these IRKs. It’s (roughly) 12:08 am where I am, and you Sold Out 7.99 minutes ago. And no, I’m not going to set my alarm for 7:58 am to try to snag one then. But this is bullshit. Goodie for those 200 people who got one in the first 60 seconds. But this is crap, and I kind of hope those 200 people get nothing but floor shavings.
@CBL_WV And, oh yeah, what about the “bennies” that KS/VMPs are supposed to get?? Did you all completely abandon that? We should, at least, get an opportunity for the $5 off coupon (without having to be one of the first 200 people on the site in the first minute!)
If it weren’t for the free shipping on the other sites, mainly Casemates, I would drop you guys in a New York minute!!
@spleener No, it’s the pricniple of the thing. No one should have to be waiting to pounce on the site at precisely 12:00:01, on a daily deal site. I wouldn’t have gotten an IRK anyway, my system’s delay time is horrendous, so that is not my point. But go ahead, be a jerk…
Whoa, a Mehrathon-less IRK? WTF? Is that even legal?
refreshing exactly when the deal refreshes worked out for once today.
/giphy marbled-kinetic-scene
@Vitanima Ditto. I was wondering “Why do I check this at midnight, it’s not like I can’t just get it when I get up!”
/giphy effective-sudden-sponge
@Vitanima literally the one day I couldn’t check immediately…
/giphy facepalm
@Jdrake91 @Vitanima Yeah, me too. I normally check it right away so I can move on with my life, but of course not on the day it matters most…
@Jdrake91 @Vitanima @xobzoo, Ha, Ha, Ha,…“the day it matters most¿” Surely, you gist!!
@1DisabledWarVet @Jdrake91 @Vitanima @xobzoo Jest, even.
@1DisabledWarVet @Jdrake91 @Trinityscrew @Vitanima @xobzoo and don’t call me Shirley.
@Jdrake91 @Trinityscrew @Vitanima @xobzoo You’re right,…ya gots me, Word Police!!
@Jdrake91 @jkrlvgn @Trinityscrew @Vitanima @xobzoo, Okay, Shirley!!
wtf, omg I got one? I GOT ONE! I GOT ONE!
I…omg, what did I do?
@jkrlvgn cool, but what else is gonna happen today?
@stinks I could become President!
Free coupon code, it’s like a free IRK!
@lichme Just pay the sales tax!
my first one!!!
although im expecting something like “you were 201 amd the system goofed. you dont get one.” bombed my interview - dentist with 4 cavities and forgot my work laptop this week. camt expect too much but JUST MAYBE! I REALLY GOT ONE
VALUABLE NUMERICAL CORK
@kennethdmabry oh man, i absolutely checked and refreshed my email. I went back to the main site before taking a screenshot of the order being complete
An IRK?
Wait, what time is it? What day? Is this meh.com?
I’m so confused.
There’s something wrong here. I was so excited I was filling out captchas incorrectly and I still got it!
I’m so excited to be filled with regret.
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
@pricciar Same here… it was odd. But I got one, so I can go to sleep knowing that I’ll soon have more crap to donate to Goodwill.
@guybrush01 haha. True! But, also $5 coupon!
This is hilarious. People need to chill the fuck out. Great job, Meh! See ya in the morning for more fuckery!
@studerc actually it is just one sore loser complainer. LOL.
Sneaking one in there is actually pretty awesome. Congrats to those who scored.

@cbilyak good dad points > irk
@cbilyak @Ignorant
Good MOM points, you sexist you!
@cbilyak @Kyeh d’oh
Good mom points > good dad points > irk
@cbilyak @Ignorant
I was looking for a weighted blanket.
@Ignorant So you regret it, even without getting the IRK? That’s faster than instant!
Oh man, I didn’t realize that I missed reading all of the bitter comments from the people who didn’t get one. " Change your business model." " This is bullshit."
I am tickled by the bitterness these bring out in people. Don’t ever change, Meh.

@CBL_WV Yes, please, keep going. Let the salt flow through your veins and pour out onto your keyboard as you post on the forums of a daily deal site.
@CBL_WV @Willijs3
MOAR ALL CAPS RANTZ!!!
Got it!
I hit meh, then buy and still got one! It’s going to be a good day;)
I blinked.
wtf just happened?
Too much to retype. Night y’all!
Pressed Meh Before i realized what it was. Got it but i can’t believe it’s the deal of the day… lol
@placecm Yeah, I automatically hit the meh button, and was like, wait… this is not the right order in which to do things… Still got it, weirdly.
/giphy obnoxious-adaptable-finger
@squishybrain oh, fu.
Today was not the day to show up 20 minutes late… Ah well…
@ciabelle On the one hand, sure; on the other, 20 seconds may have been too late, and you’d (well, I’d, but sometimes projecting works) feel worse the closer you were.
@ciabelle @mossygreen Yep — bronze medalists are generally happier than silver medalists. With a silver, they’re hating themselves for not quite getting it. But with bronze? They got a medal!
I thought it was an Irk plush doll for a second and now I am sad.
Now see, the one time I’m not sitting on Meh to see what’s for sale next at midnight, this happens.
8AM? 10 would be nice, I wake up for work then…
@PooltoyWolf Oh, no, apparently you’re “bitter” that Meh pulled this crap, and didn’t time it exactly so it’s convenient for you (or something, I’m just channeling all the people above, who don’t grasp my point!)
@CBL_WV no, you’ll notice that @PooltoyWolf is taking it in stride and having fun with it. Most of us won’t get one and most of us don’t whine about it.
@CBL_WV @Ignorant I was about to say, that reply sure seemed excessive…
@PooltoyWolf Against my better judgment I chose to wake up early and try again, and it worked! I’m going back to bed now.
@PooltoyWolf you’re going to regret that.
Seriously. I’m at the site every evening right on time. The ONE time I’m late…
@Raptor_007 they’ve been waiting for this day!
@Raptor_007 Exactly what happened to me!!
@Raptor_007 Murphy’s Law always applies!!
Woooo???
@mossygreen Oops, forgot the giphy.
/giphy wacky-official-pail
Also, do you think I can change the delivery address?
/giphy dated-venomous-cough
I already regret this purchase…
Finally got one
/giphy wistful-bored-duck
/giphy ignorant-negative-sign
Holy dog shit, I actually got one! Where do we get the coupon code?
@boygenius1991
Probably on a postcard in the IRK.
aww yeah babby’s first irk
Rats
Missed this entirely
Oh well, probably for the better the way licks been going lately
@jmhsrv it’ll open back up later this morning to sell for the morning crowd. Think it says 8 am est
On my way to buy an IRK!
Fuck it. Back to sleep.
Yeah I almost got a BOC yesterday at Woot but it hasn’t been 31 days since I bought the last one so they wouldn’t let me buy it. That’s okay though as the last BOC I got and also the last meh Irk I got ( irk in August last year) were all junk … nothing useful- at least to me!

@Lynnerizer I got notice from woot that woot off going on.

BTW, I scored me a FREE IRK!! (with the $5 coupon) Yeah BABY!!
/giphy bored-humbling-tramp
I think you would give these to certain people I’ve tried to get this for years and never been able to get one!
Phone alarm goes off and opened meh in seconds. Sold out still reading 38 seconds after the hour.
This should be your business model
Where’s the timer for the next Mehathon item? I’m working late tonight and ready to click some more Mehs.
@hchavers no more mehs to click but you can click the Buy button at 8am ET if you’re fast.
@hchavers @Ignorant That’s 5 AM PDT for me. No thanks.
@cfg83 @hchavers @Ignorant, it’s, 7:00 AM CDT where I’m at, but as you said, No, Thanks!! The last thing I need is more useless shit!! I have plenty of crap cluttering up the rooms, hallway, work shop, carport, closets, garage apt, drawers, cabinets, or the compressor room!!

@Faffs not sold out, on hold until idk 8 am est i think
@placecm Unfortunately, as a night owl, I am usually sound asleep @8am, so it is as good as sold out for me.
@Faffs @placecm Likely not at 8am because normally it says the deal is on pause and this doesn’t so who knows.

This one comes with a $5 coupon though.
Unless you meant no thanks in trying for it.
So what’s the regular item for sale?
Just like old times again! Woot! had a Woot-off yesterday and BAM!! A Pseudo-Mehrathon today (without the 'rathon) but at least there are IRK’s!!

WTF- at 9:35 1t was sold out
@orindaguy what time zone are you in?
@Ignorant @orindaguy Doesn’t matter, it sold out in under a minute from the posted time. This is beyond ridiculous.
@CBL_WV it’s a box of junk, you’ll be ok. More people won’t get it than will.
@Ignorant I know that, and it’s not my point (although it would be funnier if the IRKs were actually boxes of Nothing But Junk and floor sweepings.)

@sunnysideup22 Says they have more at 8 ET. You still got a chance!
@sunnysideup22 @Vitanima and probably 4pm VMP batch!
@sunnysideup22
With a great username like sunny side up no one could ever say that you’re channeling anything other than good, positive energy! Maybe you should try some sort of reset, a saging of sorts…
@sunnysideup22 @Vitanima I just looked. It doesn’t say that anywhere on the home page.
@hammi99 @sunnysideup22 @Vitanima Except it doesn’t even say deal paused until 8am so having more at 4 seems unlikely.
@hammi99 @sunnysideup22 @Vitanima Opps serves me right for not reading carefully. There is one at 8am
