Gee, imgur sure does like buying people food. Anyone want to get me and my husband a fancy dinner? No? No takers? Ah well.
prawnklng
Was this some sort of scam ? Or legit

Happy birthday !

I’d immediately think this was a scam and give them a fake account.
danetPlanetTerror
World needs more people like that!

I haven't heard anyone ask to be paid through anything else than bank transfer or PayPal or monzo. We behind.

Venmo is probably the most used app where I'm from, then Zelle (used to be Chase QuickPay)

I’m honestly crying.

This was real and not a scam?? That's rare.

So... My birthday was two months ago and I have student loan debts.

We want to see the meal...I guess I can check your profile, meh
putacoolnamehere
Glad you enjoyed it! A very happy birthday to you ?
marinate1016
Thanks again man!

It was my pleasure to do so

Nice, OP! And happy bday!

Zelle, cash app and Venmo... today I learn of their existence.

That's awesome, glad to hear it! I know how that goes, last year I spent my 30th AND my anniversary alone in a hotel bar due to work. BLAH!
VerboseDood61
happy Birthday!!!!

I was worried it would turn out some kind of scam

Happy you've eaten @OP! What a great thing for that person to do I love it

First letter of the messager looks like a p so probably not
hiig
Anyone on Imgur want to pay for my flight training? $120 000. Cash or bank transfer is fine. Seriously though, happy birthday @OP.
Sarcastictastic
If you accept payment in thoughts/prayers you should ask Facebook.
hiig
Couldn't even afford the pixels:
baron5898
No, but we can split time!!
hiig
Hell, I'd love to find a few people to do a flyaway with. Boom! Command hours built up in no time.

Anytime you’re in CO let me know! I’ll be your safety pilot
hiig
Goodness knows I could use one. My first real experience with fatigue resulted in an airprox. Lessons were learned that day.
weirdscottishguy
In Europe Ryanair is a good way into the industry- they’ll pay you as a cadet and allow you to build hours on the job. (1/2)

hiig
Got personal reasons for finishing my last 3-6 months but thanks. Still an option for type rating & line training. Wizzair is another option
hiig
Ultimately my goal is emergency services, not airlines. Though at the end of the day, give me two wings and a working engine and I'll fly it
TheDudzzly
But are you doing this training alone?
hiig
Yep. Me, myself, and...occasionally an instructor who sits and watches like a cat silently judging.
swellerelk
Probably doing the training with 5-6 of his closest religious camp friends from back home.
hiig
Hey, that's completely inaccurate! I've only got three close friends!
waeraj
One of the stans. Nothing to worry about.
CobraEatsSky
made me LOL and nearly choke on my migas taco. +1!
malaroo
I've always been curious about flying. Does it really cost $120,000 for training, or is that for more than just a personal plane?
hiig
Depends where you're doing your training. It's cheap in certain places like the US or South Africa, but not so much in Australia. 1/
hiig
That estimated cost will cover everything from start to commercial license at 200 hours, including multi-engine. It's also for medicals, 2/
hiig
license exams, documentation and administration, personal equipment, charts and supplements. Send me a message if you want more info. 3/3
malaroo
I appreciate you taking the time! I'm in the US, so maybe it will be a little more attainable. I always hear things in AU are crazy pricey.
anyofmany
I have never heard about any of these payment methods
noReallyIamPrincessBob
Me either. We just do an email money transfer.
JohnMcL7
I'm glad I'm not the only one and that it was a positive post as I was assuming it was some sort of scam message.
OliverClothesoff70
Do you live in Mississippi? My mom lives there and I can't send her money any other way than a mailed, hand-written check.
SomeDetroitGuy
CashApp is really nice. No fees, can get a debit card for it, very fast, very accurate.
Iknowphotoshop
You haven’t done any contact work then.
Vesane
Contact work? Like... Optometry?
Iknowphotoshop
*Contract my bad
Vesane
Oh lol I actually thought you meant contact as in... Work where you make connections and contacts with people at functions
Evenmorehorrifying
Most people aren't prostitutes and need contact. Some are contract workers tho!
pointynipples
Think Zelle is a Chase app. Everyone I know has Venmo or that. Or PayPal
p3culiar15
I am so old school and may be paranoid so I have zero app. Sent me a check. Are those apps really trust worthy?
IMainReinhardt
Zelle works with a large number of banks. I use it to give money to my mother. Takes seconds to go through and it transfers bank to bank
FitzFarseer
Everyone I know uses the Cash App
Randompersonisrandom
Think you are right on Zelle. I know Cenmo is by PayPal to make instant transfers a little smoother. They also offer a debit card
anyofmany
I don't know a single person who uses apps to pay anything- and I am not that old.. we use cash.. also paypal but only to pay in webshops
thorkild91
Venmo makes going out with friends and getting people back for shit easy. Or if you’re buying $20-$100 of something from someone
Catsbycat
$29.22 for a meal? That's expensive to me.
p3culiar15
Depend on the location. In CA, that’s considered fair. Pasta~15, calamari~12-13 plus tax.
marinate1016
Calamari was only 10, pasta was 15, pop was 3 bucks
p3culiar15
Pop? Haven’t heard that term in awhile. It was fun to say it. Glad my guestimate was close
marinate1016
Haven’t been to Michigan in a while eh?
Watersample
Where I live, that is a low price. I'm talking a burger fries and a beer... Not fast food though.
jbcars4life
For fast food, yes. For a half decent, restaurant meal, not really
SuperPickle17
da fuck kind of restaurant you're eating at... That's the cost of a meal for 2 people around here.
Lautje23
30$ for a decent happy birthday meal in a ‘real’ restaurant, it’s pretty cheap in Holland
jbcars4life
If you want a nice prime cut of steak and a nice drink/cocktail you're right in the $30 area to start.
SuperPickle17
Ah see theres you problem. Paying for overpriced drinks.
jbcars4life
Worth mentioning, I'm talking "nice" restaurant. Not Applebee's or something like that
giantkel
Was it Mr. Puckett? Also, happy bday @op! Sorry you couldn’t be with your friends and family!
MrPuckett
Nope, wasn't me! I go more TheFreePizza route

I tried to get some pizza but since I never post I wasn't qualified :(

Hey! Keep up the good work sir. I look forward to your posts every day.

You've seriously helped me with my depression and anxiety these past few months. Thank you so much. I know I'm one of many so keep it up!!

Doubt it, there was a decent chance it wouldn’t have been screenshotted and posted, and he definitely likes the attention.

Thanks man! Also not sure I got the reference or is that a real dude
mamajaimie
Just check him out anytime you need a pick-me-up. It's legal uppers for the soul. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
HeWhoLovesHyenas
Mr. Puckett is a guy (named his accoubt after his dog), who posts wholesome stories everyday. He looks like a chill dude.
Jamerperson
MrPuckett is the unofficial wholesomeness ambassador for imgur. He is a real dude. Things like this seem to happen since he got on imgur.
marinate1016
Wow he’s amazing

Pretty sure @MrPuckett is official. You can't change my mind.

I'm willing to bet these nice things were always done by Imgurians. I've just encouraged people to share the nice things that happen to them

You've surely been a major reason in the spike of wholesomeness on imgur,take credit for the inspiration you've given to many of us on imgur
