Tamar Weinberg
Wow. So I can't be online Saturday morning at midnight to score my Facebook username given that I observe the Jewish Sabbath (I'm never online then). I had a friend "volunteer" to get it for me. Only after 12 email exchanges does he tell me that he has an hourly rate and that I'd be charged 2 hour minimum. This is a "friend." I have no words.

Apparently, he is unclear on the concept.

Wow. That is awful.
- Michelle Martinez
...wow, now that is some friend! :(
- JA Castillo
Tamar, I'll do it for free. Seriously.
- Louis Gray
Why did he "volunteer," then? That's not what I'd call volunteering, either.
- Trish R
what a douche.
- Scott
sorry, my bad what a "douche"!
- Scott
That's nasty! I'd do it for free too but I'm not able to be online Saturday midnight either.

Tamar - was he a fellow clansperson? I assume not!
- Lester Greenberg
Lester, alas, he was. And he knows all about the laws.
- Tamar Weinberg
Tamar - I will do it for you for 2 metrocards
- Allen Stern
Huh? Why even say he would?

Shabbos goy don't come cheap. :P
- Christopher Harley
Technically, we're not even allowed to hire goyim to do our work on Shabbat for us. But, also, you are allowed to do work if it will very negatively affect your livelihood.
- Akiva Moskovitz
but a friend (of whatever or no religion) would not normally charge someone to do what will be a straightforward task - I don't understand why he would do that.
- WorldofHiglet
Tamar don't roll on Shabbos.
- Rochelle
What Akiva said. And you're definitely not supposed to make a "profit" on Shabbat either. He was planning on having a colleague of his (not Jewish) do it, which would put me in the clear. But to charge me for that? C'mon.
- Tamar Weinberg
what the...? :| sorry, tamar.
- edythe
+1 Louis. I would do it as well for free. I know I'll be online whenever that is, since that is not work to me

He should've done it for free or let you know upfront that he'd be glad to do it for $. :( It's to bad he wasn't upfront about it.
- James Stratford
Louis beat me to it.
- Josh Haley
Thanks all for offering -- I'm trying to figure out what to do.
- Tamar Weinberg
Does he have a dick? Kick him in it. Also, you have 200 friends here who'll do it for you. You must trust at least 1 of us.
- Matthew DeVries
"friend" is putting it mildly...I'll be online to get my username, as I'm not Jewish. If Louis isn't available, I'll do it. .
- Helen Sventitsky
With friends like this! LOL!
- Jorge Escobar
You guys rock.
- Tamar Weinberg
So is the idea that we're going to be trying to grab shit like facebook.com/MichaelJordan and facebook.com/Madonna so we can extort the real Slim Shadys?
- Matthew DeVries
Tamar, I'll write a bot for free that'll do it for you! ;) (kidding)
- Jorge Escobar
Jorge, write it for free for me. Sell it for everyone else. PROFIT!
- Tamar Weinberg
Priceless! :D
- Jorge Escobar
With friends like that.....sad.

M.A. on the other hand would have done a T.C. post on how Facebook recruited his "friend" to do this, in a plot to prevent him from getting said username, or to steal T.C. pageviews.
- Richard ¿digame? Walker
Funny :)
- Charlie Anzman
Oy vey. What a jerk.
- Ben Greenberg
Shmendrik.
- Rick Cogley
What are the Yiddish and Hebrew words for asshole?
- Matthew DeVries
I'll do it for free!! what a jerk! email me - susan.beebe@gmail.com
- Susan Beebe
I'd have happily have offered to do it for free also, some friend that sounds. I am in the UK however so I guess it will be early hours of the morning when we can choose a username.
