Wait I wow'd this but don't even know what it means

 

we've all seen your step count. you know what this means.

 

Apparently the requester meant to send $0.38 bonuses and sent a bunch of $38 bonuses instead

 

Does anyone here still play Apex? I know @Randomacts does, but anyone else?

 

Oh I thought it was like shaving my legs, but then was like "wait that doesn't really make sense b/c the insult would be backwards" but fine

also rude @Hummingbirdee

All bonuses are final

Sucks to suck basically but they are not refundable.

that's a hell of a sticky key on a keyboard

 

According to the replies in the thread on Reddit, it seems the requester knows and accepts this, but is just kind of hoping that folks will be generous enough to send back the overage

 

I wonder if the requester would just hard block them all out of spite lol.

Sounds like they're being a good sport
