Awesome, I refresh immediately on time, have all the info in and ready, and then get hit with a captcha at checkout and by the time I tell Google’s AI team which squares contained parking meters 5 seconds later it’s sold out. Why is there a captcha???
Well, I learned something: I thought the Membership I bought last month (by mistake but wound up using it later that day) was VMP. But alas, it is not, and thus I am out one extra opportunity for disappointment.
@Tukaro We VMP are but the ones who have been around a long long time - grandfathered into the world of greatness - so much we have an entire hour dedicated mehness to us. Hazzuh!
FO meh. High volume buyer, had to go thru a “I’m not a robot” before they’d let me purchase, obviously they’d sold out. What a scam. VMP buyers being treated like this piss me off, they let you buy everything else without the robot shit. Yeah, total scam with these bags of stuff.
Damn it. I’ve been watching these all day, and when I saw the VMP ethernet cables I knew they were coming up, but I got distracted by an actual work email and missed it by a minute.
I don’t really believe in fate but I’m really starting to think that this wasn’t meant to be.
@caffeineguy My clock and the Meh timer are in sync. Doesn’t help that when the clock hits 0, it takes 10+ seconds for the next thing to show up. I am at work with fast internet. It is just the server lag. To top it off it then takes several more seconds to load the buy dialog box, so by the time I can even click the capcha box and the green buy link, it is sold out.

what a waste of time even trying . I think there is only one cause I’ve clicked right on it and its always too late.

Seriously, why do I keep doing this?

@bluebeatpete
Hopeless hope. And you need room in your wallet that that $5 is just wasting.
why do i event bother clicking “buy”?
Holy Regret! First time getting through - ever!
Wow, ten seconds til sellout
Finally… VMP comes through.

Oily Phenol Injection?
Yay, THANK YOU VMP status! Scored one.
Finally, it’s been months since I’ve gotten an IRK!
woo-hooooo!
/image tight-frothy-potluck
@looseneck I have actually made those, but with almonds. They’re like crack.
@katbyter It does look good. I’ll have to find the complete recipe.
Man. I totally missed this one. The only one i might have had a chance with.
@jayman007 Yup— Same boat. The only one I might have had a chance at, but that pesky day-job sometimes wins.
/giphy respectable-lucrative-railway
Woo-hoo!
I think I’ve only gotten a non-VMP hour IRK once…and it was not this time. Fortunately, I’m a sucke…erm…VMP, so it’s all good.
Not a robot - this time you believed me! Thanks for the opportunity to be surprised.

You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
Would have been my first purchase, but for VMP being completely unclear. Shouldn’t buying membership as part of the order also set VMP flag?
@gdorn < what he said. wtf is vmp? am member but not vmp, I guess.
@gdorn Membership != (or /= or <> or whatever “does not equal” is in your programming language of choice) VMP.

No VMP was special and ended years ago. If VMP people cancel they can never be VMP again it is closed.
@gdorn Ah, good, VMP is even less clear.
Boom!
/giphy uplifted-uppity-lark
That’s usually last one of the day right? Been busy.
@bdp often there are more later in the day. Good luck, or not, depending on what the IRKs will look like this time around.
/giphy glaring-overactive-cow
/giphy jinxed-translucent-digestion
I was surprised I got one, but then I saw VMP only.
/giphy new-unbalanced-gunslinger
Too bad I blinked.
Finally! I kept getting hung up on the green bar!
Continuing the streak of IRK SUCCESS as:

I recommend adding this fact to the FAQ page for stupid people like me who also don’t implicitly understand the difference.

@mindfixation I was once of your clan; alas, my wealth diminished and I was forced into self-exile.
My Fukubukuro #4 is the only lasting legacy of my time there.
@Tukaro No!!! A fallen clan member! Ah, Fukubukuro bags - those were the days!
Yay I got a IRK on my birthday! It must be MEH Fate!

@groundgirlz We all do, otherwise people would just bot the IRKs. FWIW, I didn’t get one either…
Can’t even get a VMP IRK.
Missed it again, naptime

@madanthony I literally just did the same thing.
I can’t even seem to get the page up before it’s sold out. Hard to snag if sold out in 5 seconds and doesn’t show up for 10.
@billlbo Make sure your clock is synchronized to internet time, or the javascript countdown timer might be off
