As any shop owner will know, having a Tengaged shop will get you a bombardment of requests from design hungry delinquents. I, Louis Theroux, went undercover into the world of shop owning to find the funniest ones!
5. When are you posting dude? Will you post now?
These lil fellas will constantly message you asking when you're posting, which isn't easy to answer when you don't keep a schedule of times to post designs in your Trapper Keeper! They'll also demand you post right now so the best way to do it is let them believe you are so they waste their time refreshing!

4. You can use my designs, for a cost.
Don't get me wrong people lending you designs to use is great, what's funny is the ones who offer you something you don't want then act as if they have the leverage like "hey dude you can use my underwater cauliflower t-shirt (http://cdn.tengaged.com/img_p/439373.jpg ) as long as you gift me and 2 friends first", that kind of removes the point buddy!

3. Do this for me next time you post!
Even if you're offering up designs on a plate people you've never spoke to still reckon you owe them something and need to rearrange what and when you post for them, they'll also harp on about how unfair it is if you posted something you didn't want but they spent their 1t on it anyway, which is a bit like if you gave a hungry tramp £5 and he said "hey dude can you give me that in 5 £1 coins instead?"

2. Give me a personal message next time you post!
Even if you tell people you're gonna blog before posting they still expect you to send out a personal mail, Kik or Fax message when you post. I'll be putting up a live Twitter feed for these people alongside a free TXT service so they never miss a single design!

1. I'll do anything for a design... Anything ;)
This is the top dog cuz some people really will humiliate themselves for a design, I'll never forget the time Tigger made this pic (http://cdn.tengaged.com/img_p/3835192.jpg ) for a gift off FrOntIeRpSyChIaTrIsT, or the time Timberlie made a beautiful pic of me and AllieBoBallie riding horses into the sunset (http://sketchtoy.com/61724313 ), or the time me and Ginger Joel got a girl to write "Dav_o_79" on her tits then didn't gift her. At the end of the day this is what owning a shop is all about so if you want a gift and you're willing to humiliate yourself hit me up bruh.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS:
"Wtf dude I thought we were friends and you didn't even give me a virtual weave from your shop?"
"I love your designs dude we should be best friends!"
"Can you let me gift myself and 4 of my friends please man?"
"I'll gift you when I get a shop if you gift me!"
LOL, that is all so true. I remember all of this in my own shop. Number four rings many bells. I couldn't believe the audacity of people lending average designs, expecting a gift. If people have a nice design, then I don't mind gifting them back, but some were expecting too much. Plus, I think it is kind of rude for anyone to expect a gift back...I think it is payback enough that people see their designs in the Shops game, have a chance to buy them and see other people wearing them. On top of that, they get exposure and some others may want to buy their designs... Is that not enough?
