Welcome to R-Slash, a podcast where I read the best posts from across Reddit.

Today's subreddit is R-Slash choosing beggars, where a guy actually tries to use the line,

don't worry, girls tell me all the time that I'm totally normal.

Our next Reddit post is from more lazy. Many years ago we moved to another country,

How much for the baby items? The bouncer is 10 bucks, the portable cot is 40 bucks,

and the stroller is 20 bucks. That's too expensive for such old things. I'll give you $10 for all of it.
