To think this is fucking ridiculous!

FB…I know!

A friend of mine has shared a link from a 'crowd funding' site to raise money for her friend to get married. There is nothing stopping the couple from making the money themselves, just that they are broke and apparently want people to give it too them instead

They have a 'target' of £3,500.

AIBU to think this is greedy and utterly ridiculous?

Ugh!! That's cringey poem times a million!!

If there was no good reason, e.g one of them was really Ill and therefore maybe time was off the essence, I would think 'jog on you grabby mofo's' if I saw this happening.

this isMENTAL!

It had an incredibly cringe, in-depth description of the proposal

There's lots of this going on on FB lately surely it's taxable as income?

Nooo who would fund it?

It's like that beardy bloke who wants to crowdfund his dates.

Of course it's grabby and I can't think of anyone who would donate, but at the same time no one is obligated to either.

Derek if I can come with you then I'm up for it!

Are there actually people giving them money?!?!

Who cares? Why do you care? You are free to ignore it. It's ridiculous but it's not doing anyone any harm.

Hopeless, is it you that set it up?

Cupid, thus far, no.

I want a new kitchen. I'm off to FB to set up my own crowd funding page. Will think of a sob story along the lines of "Since the dishwasher broke, our lives have been in turmoil. I just want to give my kids a happy home" complete with Daily Mail sad face photo of me and the kids sat in front of said dishwasher.

Fuck it. I'm taking this to the DM. I can do sad face like a good un. That money's mine I tell ya, mine.

hopeless "who cares, why do you care" could be said for thousands of threads on mumsnet!? Because it's fucking lunacy that's why!

Woooo! Holiday!!!

Crazy world.

That is fucking ridiculous

I might try and crowd fund for a deposit for a house - I could raise it myself but I'm a bit broke so if people are going to come and see me there they may as well put a few bob towards it.

I wonder if people will fund my dream of moving to Oz......

To be honest, if people are stupid enough to pay it, good luck to the couple.

Why do people think that others give a Shit about their weddings. People have ambitions acheivments oh and worries of their own.
People are too pampered now.

People are shameless. Have you got a link so we can all laugh and pass judgement properly

Fuck my life.

I'd have to post:

"You've clearly gone totally mad
If you think I'm going to be had
By a page on the 'Net
That is feeble and wet
And festooned with shite poems. How sad!"

I suppose it makes a change from wanting your guests to fund your honeymoon
