oh, we have them, the dog and cat hate them.

i never really understood just how many 72 glow sticks was... why in the hell did I order 72 glow sticks...

I hope someone gets a pallet of them...

After the underwhelming Santa Sack of Crap, I had decided not to bother again. But saw this come up and happily abandoned my stance, frantically clicking away like an Pinky whilst muttering "Woot, I wish I knew how to quit you".

Never saw the confirmation page go through but got the email and it's on my account history. I think this time I will stay off of this board while waiting for the Bag of Cuuuuuute! to come. That way it won't spoil the suspense of getting another hand towel... Thank you woot and good luck everyone!

So who else has a box of crap, with everything from the bags of crap that they don't want/ever use?

I know I do. And it's growing.

Oh well. I've had plenty of Bag of Cuuuuuute!s and with my last 3 or 4 being really, really crappy, the thrill is gone for me.

your last 3 or 4, wow poor u

Bag #3 snagged! Woot woot! To voice my desired loot, I've composed a small parody

Woo, woo, wooo , Woooot
Woo, woo, wooo , Woooot
Woo, woo, wooo , Woooot
Aaaaaaa
aaaaaaa

Where have all the vacuums gone?
And where are the tall Dysons?
Where's the spinning corner brush,
To dislodge the small dust clogs?
Isn't there a small cat, that needs a disk shaped steed?
Late at night I sweep my floor and I dream of what I need!

I need a Roomba!
I'm holding out for a Roomba in this bag of cuuuute!
It's gotta be small
and it's gotta be round
And it's gotta be in my loot

I need a Roomba!
I'm holding out for a Roomba in the box that ships
It's gotta be sure
And it's gotta suck hard
Cause it's in for the feast of its life!

...feast of it's life.

I think all hope is now lost... Oh well... at least I got a shot at April Fool's Crap anyway... I never have any luck with the Wootoff crap

She just doesnt understand :-/ Sometimes you get a 2gb sansa clip with a cracked screen...

Is she insane? These sweatbands are one of the best things EVER

Finally in for 1 Bag of Cuuuuuute!! Only took 6 years.

xSkoad wrote:Yes. Not every time, but they do. The 3pc woot hasnt been around for over a year. I think I first noticed it sometime last year anyway when I got a Barrels of Crud and it didnt have the option. I have gotten a few since then too, and I think two of the times letters went out. Yes letters. Think three letters each time.

Over a year? If you mean he left LAST year, that would be accurate... He bailed out somewhere around September? October? Definitely not over a year ago..

Woohoo! I scored one, though I didn't know it until I got the e-mail confirmation. My wife will be thrilled, or upset. We won't know until the crap arrives.

Me. I didnt get a box today =/ and when I told my wife she was happy because she mentioned that I have a massive pile in the corner of the room from all the junk (yet to ever get a single good thing) I got form past Barrels of Crud Oh wells. I will try again next time... just wont tell the wife.

Nice work!!! oddly enough my wife told me yesterday that if I get a Barrels of Crud she is wishing for a Roomba. But...DAMN you for getting "I need a Hero" stuck in my head.

Then they're probably due for one, eh?

;)

Oh yea I read wrong. I was referring to the Get 1,2,3 bags... not the person..

If he left in October then I am not sure. I know the Barrels of Crud that went out mid October had letters.

I need to correct the record:

I forgot that I was able to get a bag last year as well. Sorry, Woot! Still, I am depressed about how difficult it is to get a bag honestly around here.

Yea my wife isn't too happy about it. But she enjoys the suprise. As long as that box stays in the closet somehwere, it's alright.

what are the letters? I'm new to this

Got one!

Me too, stupid woot! Very sad thoughts I'd finally gotten one...but no!

towneblacksmith wrote:what are the letters? I'm new to this

If you're lucky enough to get one (and they haven't been around in a while), you could get a skid full of car wax.. Or a home theater system... or a couple of flat screen TV's... or a skid full of action hero dolls.... It varies, but is usually either funny as hell, or incredibly cool to get...

I remember once, this guy got a Mercedes 550... Oh, wait.. That was on The Price is Right...

Interesting. I posted before but someone seems to have removed it. So here it is again.

I AM REALLY REALLY UPSET. I got in for the first time ever on the Bag of Cuuuuuute! and went through all the screens until I got to the final one with the big gold button to place the order. As usual, there was a wait, but then I got kicked back to the payment page where this was at the top in red:
There was an error placing your order. Please verify that all the fields below are correct and try again.
This sale is sold out.

EVERYTHING was filled out correctly, and I got all the way to the final page and hit the place order button, even reloading the page when it timed out and sent a 503. I KNOW I did everything right but you screwed me over and I am out of luck.

This isn't the first time I've tried to buy the Barrels of Crud but it is the first time I've been able (or so I thought) to actually buy it.

I did my part. What is Woot! going to do to make this right?

I was taking a crap when these went on sale.

Generally someone(s) will get a letter in their Barrels of Crud and it will tell you that they are sorry bla blah blah but all of your stuff couldnt fit in the box and that they are sending it separately. Then your in for another surprise. It is generally an entire pallet of things... sometime just car wax, sometimes toys.. maybe a tv... no telling

Letters tell you that you also got something too big to fit in that box!

you were too late... Woot will make it right by offering you another opportunity in the next woot off..

Now please pull over to the side of the road and let the WAHmbulance through...

Or, you can just live by the Woot! Holy Commandments v3.0, use your 1.2 patience and wait a week or two for your package to arrive as a pleasant surprise, and be grateful for the junk you end up receiving (or not).

a 1:30 Barrels of Crud Barrels of Crud#39;s never come until 3:00pm ish.. I feel so sad cause I missed this one by exactly 5 minutes

My very first Woot is a Bag-O-Crap! I immediately informed my friend in the next office, who has been trying for years to score one. He was, how shall I put it, less than thrilled for me. Maybe I'll let him hold my bag...

popped my Barrels of Crud cherry. 2012 is off to a great start.

It happens. As I said, I got several different tabs to the Processing Order screen 5 minutes before it even sold out.. Not a single one went through. Its part trying to get a Barrels of Crud You have to fight through the 503s and 404s.

I would check with HR first, and see if that violates any sort of corporate harassment policies...

It happened to alot of us. Its not woot out to get you. Its just too many requests and the server couldnt handle it. You gotta be quick. You didnt get through but someone else did.

As I tell my kids we all cant be winners. If everyone is special then noone is.

OK, so THIRD time in a row, I'm READY, hit the "Buy" button maybe 0.2 seconds after it appears, wait a bit, fill in my CC security code, hit "Info is Correct", wait a bit more, hit the "Stupidly Large Gold Button" and NADA. And I'm on a fast connection. Wakko Talks Faboo!??? If necessary I have a virgin niece I can sacrifice. SERIOUSLY Woot, this is just not fair!! Previous crap winners should be made to sit the next offer out; you could do it. Otherwise this stupidity* is just boggling.

(*Stupidity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.)

So, during woot-off, going to start ordering delivery for lunch.

I hate when I get to the golden button only to be foiled by the error screen!

Try after try after try. I finally got one.

I could finally get up to pee.

MUUUHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAH #8 Burrito Of Chorizo!!!

NAH NAH NAH!!!!

Would you like some cheeeeeeese with that whine.....
