@ironcheftoni not even trying to win one today so no comments from me. Sure if I check and see clock about to change, I’ll give it a go… But not hanging around waiting.
/ wait does that qualify as a complaint… Lol
// Definitely qualifies as a comment… Damn it.
@Celetas@IndifferentDude@Kyeh@lichme I thought maybe there was some humor in misinterpreting that last giphy as Tom trying to lick his own butt but then realized my cat goes to town on her anus pretty thoroughly on a daily basis.
@lichme
But how will you ever get enough TrackRs to build a complete scale-mail car cover for your Double Cab Long Bed Super Duty Dually if they keep changing out what’s in the IRKs?
@Celetas@Felton10@IndifferentDude@Kyeh@lichme@mikey
Meet Tucker! And that other cute little nugget is the baby girl I was sposed to be getting this morning! Unfortunately there might be a change of plans.
@kyanostiger@lichme Uh, you realize the whole point for Meh is to get rid of stuff that’s not selling, or got returned, or whatever - it’s a $5 gamble that you might get something good, but they tell you outright that you probably won’t!
/giphy duh
@Kyeh@lichme Uh I think I’ve had enough Fuku/Fuko/IRK orders to be aware of this, yes. Who do you think I am, someone who doesn’t have their credit card filled out properly?
@kyanostiger@lichme Hey, I got one, so now I’m just waiting to see what kind of remaindered/damaged/surplus oddities I receive this time. And there’s the occasional funny item, like the 2’ high stuffed Minion I once got.
@kyanostiger@lichme Also I failed to look at your profiles so didn’t realize you’d both been here longer than dirt, and probably know everything there is to know about Irks. Please accept my apologies.
The first Noble Truth of Buddhism is that life is suffering. If you accept pain as the baseline, every day without it is worth celebrating. Be grateful for what you have, and do not expect a $5 goodie bag of irregular products obtainable only through a capitalistic game of digital duck duck goose
@onae What about us old people that have pain every day due to arthritis, herniated disc, SLAP tear, and muscle fatigue? Not getting an IRK is just more pain on top of it.
Does bitching that there is no way possible in hell that I could EVER snag an irk with DSL internet and your system INSISTING that I am a robot count as “irk bitching?” Asking for a friend…
Less than 4 hours of sleep and I am back, back to missing out. Huge day at work today so proba ly won’e be back to trying for another 14 hours or so - good luck all. Make us proud, score an f-ing IRK.
So I just got tested to see if I’m a robot by being shown a lovely picture of a palm tree at sunset/sunrise and asked to select all of the tractors. What’s up with that? Even a mediocre robot should be able to tell the difference between a palm tree and a tractor. Needless to say, I did not get the Irk. sigh
@crowsnest@werehatrack they do. Actually a good amount of them but I don’t see people getting really cool ones. I grabbed one from a pointless push and it was a lot of dental floss, a ream of copy paper (what i was most excited for) some packing tape (also excited), couple of old iphone plastic cases, ziplock bag knockoff pack, and 1000 teeny tiny plastic bags for “candy” so the have BOC jam them with more items but most of those are to put it in a word “Meh” at best. I’ve definitely gotten blah IRKS but I also got one that will forever keep me trying for me.
@crowsnest@Sneakertree
Thus far, my batting average is under 2% and possibly under 1%. I got one once, and while I arguably got five bucks’ worth of Stuff that was at least useful enough, it wasn’t exactly the kind of contents that would make me eager to expend any extra effort to get another. That, combined with the very Meh quality of what’s been in rotation today has caused me to not try to either hang around or track the time remaining to the next item this time. I plan to spend a few minutes reviewing the ICYMI around 4 CDT, and I might check it again before I sack out, but the word 'excitement" just doesn’t get conjured up by either the IRKs or the Stuff right now.
@mikey I understand. I’m part of the ink for irk clubs and even though I get one every meh-rathon, it doesn’t quite feel the same.
BUT i’m happy to get one every month because it’s the closest thing to a true gift I’ve ever gotten. Starting around age 8 my mom would take me to the store and have me pick out my own presents, then make me wrap them and leave them under the tree or on the table for birthdays until it was “opening time.”
As an adult, my husband has been a SAHD for 9.5 years so he didn’t have the ability to get me presents
so… i’m relegated to tattooing my body just to get a surprise gift once a month.
@jsh139
My understanding is that “Instant Regret Kit” is considered much closer to the true spirit of the item delivered than what is meant by the Japanese term formerly used. Many IRKs are truly regrettable; only a minority are a mystery delight.
OMG…I think I am competing for top bitch today just rec’d “c.c. number incomplete” went back to click on buy again because surprisingly it did not show sold out. Then got “cannot complete order because we do not know what you are trying to buy”
@sammydog01 There is still time for bitching. Say for instance it is sent via Pitney Bowes. Also, when I open it and get a furry power bank and some kid’s clawz shoes, maybe a tracker or two.
Wow, I thought I broke Meh for a minute there. I got a whole bunch of different errors (servers too busy, not sure what you want to buy, etc) and had to prove I wasn’t a robot. Sadly, still no IRK.
Meh feels like a dysfunctional relationship anymore. You wait around every day for something good to happen. It rarely does. Then, once in a while you have a day of excitement! A meh-rathon! Again, you wait and wait for something good. Then, it happens! An IRK appears! You try and try to get one, but don’t succeed. Then you do manage to get one, and you are elated! And it arrives and you realize it is all the same crap you watched go by in the past, but wrapped up in a atrocious yellow or orange bag. Literally, same shit, different day.
@crowsnest When there is only 38 of them and 1000’s of folks with better internet and all the time in the world to troll the site…the odds are never in anyone’s favor. LOL
@crowsnest@smjnga Of all the myths about getting an IRK, the ones I like the best have to do with people who have “all the time and better internet.”
Seriously, most IRKs I order are from my couch at 11 pm (Pacific) on a phone. I’m not running some Russian bot farm hell bent on getting a small box full of off-brand facial cleanser and a pair of Clawz that doesn’t fit anyone in my house.
@crowsnest Yeah you are missing fast internet with a ping under 10. And then some luck. Like so many others of us. Quite a number of us find the irk page loads already sold out. I get them when there are website glitches or are somewhere else with low latency. Those are the only times the irk page even loads already not sold out.
if you look at the connection stats you will see that there is a lot less traffic on the site at 11pm (Pacific) than 11pm (Eastern). Maybe that has some bearing as well!
@blaineg I feel ya. I sat down long enough to see the next IRK, got it, and then signed off for the day. Not sure what these other guys are doing wrong BUT I’ll give y’all a pointer. Work your weak little mouse clicking index finger harder. Next time you masturbate, put a little extra effort into that index finger and you will be catching IRKs in no time as well! If Meh deletes this post or bans me, it’s because I’ve exposed their secret and NOT because I’m a perverted jerk with an unhealthy affinity for IRKs.
I have little faith I’m getting one. My day has been spent taking care of my family’s pets….and work. And I couldn’t use the phone at work and the internet and I are not friends at my family’s house lol. But the pets need some love. They miss their owners. Plus…I have issues with my blood pressure and every time I have to click on the link super fast and try to get the captcha…watching the green bar just keep loading…I swear I feel my blood pressure rise.
I could bitch an awful lot about my last week and a half, starting with the leaking pipe I came home to yesterday. Alas, I can not bitch about the IRK I have finally procured.
Brilliant
Didn’t get one this last time.
Can I post more than once? I’m sure, I’ll be back again.
@phendrick Was this just a ploy to make me miss the second one? (It worked.)
Batting zero so far.
@werehatrack Me too. But I’m really buzzed right now (Braves won
)
I cannuh change the laws of Meh, Capn! The IRKs are no where to be won!
#%*€¥$@<}#!!!
@Kyeh Now there is no reason to use that type of language here.
@Felton10 You’re absolutely right, since we’re totally allowed to cuss and swear openly!
Love how it is 2 minutes for everything but the IRK, which sells out in .004 seconds flat
@cbilyak make it make sense!
@cbilyak Because IRKs drive more comments than the other products and they probably leave the extra time for that reason.
@cengland0 there you go being logical. There is no room for logic during a Mehrathon
When there is only 38 at a time, I see this thread getting large
@ironcheftoni I think this is up from 25 per IRK last time.
@ironcheftoni not even trying to win one today so no comments from me. Sure if I check and see clock about to change, I’ll give it a go… But not hanging around waiting.
/ wait does that qualify as a complaint… Lol
// Definitely qualifies as a comment… Damn it.
@Dakini i second this
Please get some new stuff for your IRKs because I get them all the time and they sometimes contain items I have already gotten. Change it up a bit
@lichme oh look at this guy. Bragging about how many times he has gotten an irk.
@Celetas @lichme Yeah, really! We don’t want to hear it!
@Celetas @lichme Back when I was a kid the IRKs fell offa trees like manna from heaven. Those were the daze!!!
@Celetas @lichme Actually, they are Super EZ to get!!
I just got my 26th Consecutive IRK in the 1st offering!! 
/giphy booyah

@Celetas @IndifferentDude @Kyeh @lichme @mikey I didn’t need to know that first thing this morning,
@Celetas @Felton10 @IndifferentDude @Kyeh @lichme @mikey
I don’t believe I needed to know that at any time of day!! Isn’t it funny how our minds paint a detailed picture when reading something like that!
@Celetas @Felton10 @IndifferentDude @Kyeh @lichme @Lynnerizer
I highly recommend never getting a cat.
@lichme

When the cat decides that you are going to have a cat, you will have a cat. So sayeth Freya, the white cat on my lap. (She is not the only cat here.)
@lichme I agree with you on this, how do they still even have some of this stuff?

@lichme @sammydog01
TIL.
I’ve never checked out Mehstalker.
I guess I should.
@Kyeh @sammydog01
I basically created mehdown (or a couple of the commands on here that nobody uses)
@lichme @sammydog01

@Kyeh @lichme @sammydog01 He may know everything, but he’s not very smart – he’s still hanging around here after all these years.
@Barney @lichme @sammydog01
It’s an addiction!
@Lynnerizer What’s the change of plans with getting the kitty? Hopefully not that they changed their mind and you won’t.
Sonofabitch…page is loading so slow it was sold out before it loaded for me
I should throw in the towel…but there are plenty of things I SHOULD do.

@onae What about us old people that have pain every day due to arthritis, herniated disc, SLAP tear, and muscle fatigue? Not getting an IRK is just more pain on top of it.
@cengland0 @onae Hey I got more things wrong with me than you and I got one last night.

I’ll give you my password, score one for me!
Lol
@cengland0 You only lose what captcha denies you
or something like that
Never claimed to be enlightened, I just parrot quotes to make up for my lack of personality

@mediocrebot Captcha deez …
NAH, too easy
Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.

IRK is such a fucker.
@f00l @f00l Why don’t you tell us how you REALLY feel?
@onae
Ok. Let me put it more plainly.
That IRK is such a motherfucking fucker.
Does bitching that there is no way possible in hell that I could EVER snag an irk with DSL internet and your system INSISTING that I am a robot count as “irk bitching?” Asking for a friend…
Yeah, this is boring. I’m going to bed.
(good idea)
Unghk no why. I need sleep. I’m a lot behond. OK, but all the pressure one ssomeone (K they’re hone pronoebs;y
@brainmist Yeah, it looks like you really DO need sleep …
@Kyeh OMG, I think I genuinely feel asleep typing and yet somehow managed to post it anyway.
Or I had a stroke.

@mediocrebot
/giphy I am done
CARD NUMBER IS INCOMPLETE - like hell it is!
What is with 38. I thought 50 at a time was bad.
@kcface Yeah, I was wondering about that. It’s been as low as 31. Does this have something to do with the 38th parallel?
Less than 4 hours of sleep and I am back, back to missing out. Huge day at work today so proba ly won’e be back to trying for another 14 hours or so - good luck all. Make us proud, score an f-ing IRK.
Ugh. I got an irk my first try so when I was on the ball and probably could have gotten a second one but they are limited to one per event!
@show_the_maw Gotta let others snag some too! Sometimes there are secret IRKs on the sister sites…
@show_the_maw I feel so very sorry for ya.
So I just got tested to see if I’m a robot by being shown a lovely picture of a palm tree at sunset/sunrise and asked to select all of the tractors. What’s up with that? Even a mediocre robot should be able to tell the difference between a palm tree and a tractor. Needless to say, I did not get the Irk.
sigh
@gt0163c because…you are a robot.
Rebuild the order flow so that clicking “buy it” reserves one of the available.
Once all the available are reserved, place others in queue for people who do not buy.
I guarantee you will still sell out and less people will be pissed about being blocked by some captcha BS or form field validation
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.
@rypeter they do that over on woot… and I guarantee that it doesn’t make people complain less.
I got a picture of a box truck and was told to select the buses.
I’ll NEVER give up cuz I just don’t have it in me, but this sure as heck isn’t as FUN as it used to be! Jus sayen…
Good luck!
@Lynnerizer You said:
What’s the change in plans? That kitten is adorable!
ObWhine: I sat down here as soon as I hauled out of bed, and the very next thing wasn’t an IRK. Weh!
/giphy wharrgarbl
Edit: why no giphy?!
@psbales Maybe because it expected at least one word from its internal list?
@psbales
/giphy wharrgarbl-random-word
@werehatrack Huzzah!
Gimme my damn BOC!!! Oh wait sorry, wrong site…
@crowsnest
Do they still do the BOC? I lost interest in them quite a while back.
@werehatrack Yes they actually do. Think I got my last one 2 months or so ago.
@crowsnest @werehatrack they do. Actually a good amount of them but I don’t see people getting really cool ones.

@Dakini You can go start an irk gloating thread.
@sammydog01 There is still time for bitching. Say for instance it is sent via Pitney Bowes. Also, when I open it and get a furry power bank and some kid’s clawz shoes, maybe a tracker or two.
Wow, I thought I broke Meh for a minute there. I got a whole bunch of different errors (servers too busy, not sure what you want to buy, etc) and had to prove I wasn’t a robot. Sadly, still no IRK.
It’s been so long since I’ve won a irk. I can’t win for shit win for shit now.
Meh feels like a dysfunctional relationship anymore. You wait around every day for something good to happen. It rarely does. Then, once in a while you have a day of excitement! A meh-rathon!

grrr arghhh.
Am I doing this right?
@smigit2002
If you were not getting one, you are doing it like the rest of us.
@f00l Well, didn’t get one during the members only, so pretty unlikely I’ll get one at all. One of us?
@smigit2002
Me neither
@smigit2002 But that’s the same reaction you should have if you actually buy one.
I’ve gotten 28 Fuku/IRKs, and they’ve almost all been terrible. I JUST CAN’T STOP ORDERING THEM.
Still, 28 * $5 = $140; a small price to pay for all the fun I’ve had!
Sorry if not bitching enough.
@btwonder
We need your pro level bitching.
@btwonder @f00l
Damn… that means over half your total orders were “IRK” related!
@chienfou @f00l

That’s an impressive number of orders.
Something must be seriously wrong with the world today. I sat down at the computer around 5am, and the second thing up was an IRK, and I got it.
No idea how, I’ve been jinxed for months.
@blaineg So sorry to hear that. You have my deepest sympathy.
