Man Tries To Pay Bill with Spider Drawing

Featured Replies

Comedy. Although I feel for the lady putting up with him, she is just doing her job.

That is hilarious.

This is pretty funny, the lady seemed to get a kick out of it too.

This was just awesome, thanks kyyle. My favorite part is when he keeps asking for the picture back despite emailing it to her.

My favorite part

Dear Jane, Are you sure this drawing of a spider is the one I sent you? This spider only has seven legs and I do not feel I would have made such an elementary mistake when I drew it.

 

Regards, David.

Dear David, Yes it is the same drawing. I copied and pasted it from the email you sent me on the 8th. David your account is still overdue by the amount of $233.95. Please make this payment as soon as possible.

 

Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles

Thankyou for contacting me. I am currently away on leave, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

 

Regards, David.

Hello, I am back and have read through your emails and accept that despite missing a leg, that drawing of a spider may indeed be the one I sent you. I realise with hindsight that it is possible you rejected the drawing of a spider due to this obvious limb ommission but did not point it out in an effort to avoid hurting my feelings. As such, I am sending you a revised drawing with the correct number of legs as full payment for any amount outstanding. I trust this will bring the matter to a conclusion.

 

Regards, David.

holy s*** that was funny

 

That story is fake, but a funny story.

Sort of reminds me of the old John Lovitz SNL skit.

 

I'M PICASSO!!

Are you guessing? I looked on Snopes and couldnt find it in the search engine. I mean, its very possible, but you would think MSN would have caught on before posting the story

I'm cynical and yes I'm guessing. It might be true.

 

"Below is the complete email conversation that Adelaide man David Thorne claims he had with a utility company chasing payment of an overdue bill."

So this is David's account of what happened. Even the source passing the story along is careful not to call it fact. People do weird things for attention.

 

If an employee took the time to play e mail tag with this guy, they should be fired.

David Thorne owns SomethingAwful. It is real.
