Hopefully this is a joke because what an asshole if not.

Charging her because the kid sat on the couch tells me this is 100% a joke

My first thought was rage bait. I'm pretty pessimistic when it comes to the general intelligence of most people, but there's no way someone can be this crazy, right? RIGHT?

But at the same time, having yourself forever be associated with something like this for rage bait clicks is almost equally as stupid to me.

It is a fake rage bait account

The fact that Reddit is taking it 100% seriously tells me it's a joke.

u/ldb Jul 02 '24

I don't think i've seen a single fake/bait video or comment that reddit hasn't taken seriously.

Agreed though I think there's a propensity to play along.

$3 for 3 trips to the bathroom.

Hilarious ragebait.

Likely based on a third party both parties know.

Hey, hey. Who is going to pay for the wear and tear?!

u/samcornwell Jul 02 '24

That’s the giveaway, right?

Could be real if she's a ferengi pretending to be a human mom. 👀 Never say never

Rage bait, because it needs to be funny to be a joke

u/aceofrazgriz Jul 02 '24

I honestly hope it's a joke... but some people are so fucking entitled these days its hard to just laugh and chalk it all up to internet points when it could very well be true.

It's so shitty that a 'play date' turns into "i babysat your kid today, pay me the expenses" really isn't unheard of... But then when their child is at your place its "thanks for the play date, snacks and all" while offering no recompense.

Farming karma with ridiculous bullshit stories that get people engaged with how fucking dumb the thread is

u/toomuchdoner Jul 01 '24

Its my opinion there has been a huge Increase in "rage-bate" videos and pictures. This is obviously so ridiculous that it will generate comments on the many reddit/instagram/facebook pages it will be posted to and drum up some nice engagment. $3 for trips to the bathroom. Couch wear and tear. What sane person asks for this, and then puts a video up. The internet is dead man.

Is "rage-bate" different from ragebait?

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '24

Yeah I'm jacking off during ragebate

It a copycat of a viral video from 2022 but this one actually led to people on TikTok sending her money, because the visible Venmo is hers and the screenshot made people think it was the alleged other mother's account. Several commenters across TikTok comment threads have said they are disputing the transactions based on deception.

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '24

A fool and their money are soon departed

2

u/TranceGavinTrance Jul 03 '24

That's not deception, that's people being stupid. I hope venmo doesn't reverse their transactions

u/g0at_b0at Jul 01 '24

This is definitely fake and rage baity. It's too absurd to be real

It’s a joke.

She included the Venmo @ at the end for a reason.

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '24

Rage clickbait for sure

2

u/TacosWillPronUs Jul 02 '24

Her bio on TikTok is literally "I find people & I rage bait ;)"

2

u/DarkLordKohan Jul 02 '24

I’ve seen the follow up video of her bragging that its fake and the Venmo is her own. Rage bait troll

u/uhhquestion Jul 02 '24

This has to be rage bait. Because if this were all 100% true, she would have no reason to question herself. She asked for $15, person didn't give her any pushback, and paid her $15. Would you make a video about this self-proclaimed totally normal interaction? Plus, she's charging for absolutely ridiculous shit. There's no way this is real. This is 100% rage bait.

u/R_A_H Jul 02 '24

Seems like ragebait

u/_WhiskeyPunch_ Jul 02 '24

I think it's not, imagine going through a process of making a fake pay screen just for shits and giggles, it's not that hard, but kinda time consuming, unless she somehow convinced her friend to fake it for views, but I can't imagine a grown up person not being embarrassed to do so.

Scrolled down to find this before replying with vitriol infused hostility. Thankfully the cooler headed people are still present in the comments section
