For fuck sakes guys. I don't know what the fuck to do.
I've been working at my job for a little over a month and I still won't be getting paid till the end of the week. I've been living off my fucking credit card this entire month expecting to get paid today but no, I have to wait till the fucking 29th. My card is maxed out and I have 5 dollars in my checking account.
I need money for the week, I need food and fucking gas to get to school/work AND pay for parking.
What the fuck do I do? I'm out of work for today, it's almost 11am, what can I do to make some money guys? Serious question
No dick sucking pls
I really need help.
I've already lost over 30 pounds from not being able to afford a steady diet of meat and veggies. I NEED FUCKING HELP.

I already called the sperm donation bank and that's going to take till the end of the week so that's out of the question.
I really need help... any ideas....?

If you really want quick money go on Craigslist and look for odd jobs like helping someone move their furniture or something. Its an easy $20-50 that will let you eat. Every suggestion that's been given to you so far, you have brushed off. Why are you SSO lazy? Maybe you deserve the situation your in (assuming it isn't a lie to garner sympathy)

I'm not selling my car, that's fucking stupid.
I've done surveys before and it's 2 hours work for maybe 5 bucks that comes in 3 - 5 days after it's put into my paypal account
I'm not letting old men touch me for money.
The only thing I brushed off that is totally possible is donating blood/plasma which I can't because of tattoos.

This is really shitty and you absolutely need to make sure it's a one-time thing, but it looks like a payday loan is your most plausible option.

OP, the fact that you are in this position means you need to re-evaluate your entire life setup. What the fuck are you spending money on that you've maxed out your card? How long were you unemployed?

You need to make sure to have ~3-6 months worth of expenses saved up and covered before you spend your money on anything else, like that fucking drum set.

Hey, look man, if you want people to sympathize with you, dont be an ass about it when they give you suggestions. Youve shrugged off every suggestion thus far, and there isnt a whole lot more anyone can suggest for you.
Theres no magical, easy way to get a quick grand to hold you over, unless you have something you can sell in a day for 1k, youre just up the creek. Call friends and family and see if anyone will spot you. Alternatively, if your job isnt paying you when they should (as in; how it was laid out in your contract), call the department of employment in your state, because its illegal as fuck to withhold paychecks.

But thats all you got bro, so stop being a shit about it to the people who are trying to help you, and either take the suggestions, or leave man.

Good luck man, really.

By mileage? No. If it's 13mi of stop lights, yes that's a long time. After 13mi you would probably want to shower and change clothes even after casual speeds. Your work might have showers. This is all assuming not much elevation change.

look, i hate to advise this, but desperate times call for desperate measures. get a payday loan for a few bucks ($75/$100) to get you through till payday and pay it back as soon as you get paid. you will probably pay $140 - $150 for $100, but you need money now and they can provide same day or within 24 hrs in most cases.

If it's food that you need you should go dumpster diving.

Gourmet grocery stores throw out a shitload of good food at the end of each day and you will always at least find good bread. If you're really lucky you'll find a bag of vegetables or seal salads.

go to a farmer's market at the end of the day and ask if they're tossing anything.
