No doubt you have seen countless Facebook posts where people have set up Go Fund Me pages to try and get donations for various causes, most of which are legit. You may have seen one for a girl who needs help covering medical expenses, or for your neighbor who wants to travel to help Doctors Without Borders, or something of that nature. But there's a special type of human being that sets up a page for personal gain so selfish, so strange, and so unbelievable that we had to compile a list of these idiots to show you, otherwise we wouldn't believe it either.
GoFundMe Pages That Will Make You Totally Lose Faith In Society
#1 Forehead 4/20 Tattoo Removal
In the "WTF was she thinking category" we have this woman who wanted to commemorate the stoner's version of Christmas with this huge forehead tattoo. After she snapped back to reality and realized that she couldn't find a job with the pot smokers emblem in the middle of her forehead she set up a GoFundMe page to get assistance so it could be removed. Unbelievably, she asked for $800 but managed to get donations of over $1000 in just a few days.
#2 Hats Off For Premature Balding
It's a reality, you're going to lose your hair. So why should you beg for donations to buy a hat? Time to shut this page down, dude. Four generous people care about your naked head, and that's more than anyone could have hoped for. $83 will at least get you a bottle of rogaine.
#3 An Expensive Uber Halloween Ride
$367 for a 20-minute ride should never be justified, even on Halloween. But that's exactly what it cost a woman named Gabby who woke up after a great party and found her checking account had been debited more than she could have imagined. Unaware of the rate increase to nine times the normal on a holiday, she went to GoFundMe asking for help paying her ride tab. She managed to raise $512 in 12 hours. Maybe next time she should try Lyft, or walk.
#4 A New TV
This North Carolina guy just really wants a TV. He took to GoFundMe to ask people to donate to his 'worthy' cause.
Perhaps he needs something to Netflix & Chill with? Maybe he just wants to catch the big game? Or maybe he's tired of missing Jerry Springer? The world may never know, but his campaign for a new television and cable is still sitting at $0 after a month. Time to shut it down!
#5 Protection After He Organizes A Racist Rally
Jon Ritzheimer, a Neo-Nazi in Phoenix, Arizona, organized an anti-Muslim rally in his hometown. But that's not the worst part. He set up his GoFundMe page asking like-minded racists to donate $10 million to help protect himself and his family "in case he suffered any backlash" from putting together the rally. He managed to make $244 before the page was taken down. Maybe kicking this guy out of the country would actually "Make America Great Again."
#6 He Can't Afford His $8,000 Bar Tab
21-year-old Jake Stewart, a college boy at Clemson University in SC, had a blackout at a bar. He drank so much that he doesn't remember buying all of his bros a few rounds and drinking exclusively from the top shelf. He managed to rake up an $8,000 bar tab for the night. How is that possible? Nobody is sure and he doesn't remember a thing, so he set up a donation page to help pay for his drunken stupor. He has managed to get ZERO in donations so far, so at least he'll be forced to pay for his drunkenness on his own.
#7 A Bad Drug Habit
The things that make you shake your head in disbelief and ask 'WHY'? The only thing worse than someone asking to have their drug habit funded is the fact that four people actually contributed to it. He managed to get twenty-five bucks from four idiots.
Get it together, Will.
#8 Money For An Abortion
This entire thing makes you shudder in disbelief. Talk about uncomfortable? There are so many questions unanswered here, but who really dares to ask them. The fact that she is asking strangers to help her abort her baby when she practised unsafe sex is unfathomable, let alone that it overtly defiles the GoFundMe standards for creating a page. In any event, somehow she has managed to get $2,141 from complete strangers to help her abort her unwanted child. This is why sex education and Planned Parenthood are good, people!
#9 Help Him Get A Car To Pick Up Chicks
This tattooed marvel is asking for donations so that he can purchase a new car, so he can "bring you this d***." No, thank you, sir. I think it'd be best if we could all keep a safe distance from you. Plus you'd be far easier to run away from when you're on foot versus in a vehicle. No money raised. Thanks!
#10 Money To Keep Alabama Running
This page was actually set up by Alabama State Senator Paul Sanford. It's not a fake. The description says that you can help pay Alabama state taxes, and you don't even have to live there to participate! Really?? They have actually made over $1300 in donations because apparently the people of Alabama don't think they pay the state enough money in taxes already. They are looking to get $300 million, but sadly, only 76 people have deemed it necessary to "donate" money to the state.
#11 A Midlife Crisis Tattoo
This guy in Pennsylvania is having a midlife crisis and thinks this hand drawn tattoo design of a squirrel is the answer. He's actually not doing that badly on donations for this but perhaps he should go all out and seek more money for something a little less permanent but more thrilling. We all know a midlife crisis can't be satisfied by a tattoo. He might need to start another page for a car, boat, or new apartment when the crisis really kicks in.
