    me too but im waiting for a bus usually and theyre always so polite :wow2:

    i feel so guilty when i say no or ignore them. in any scenario, not just @ penn lol. like i got yelled at my dad when we went to india a few years ago because i gave him and his brothers s--- for yelling at the homeless people bothering us (homeless people are EVERYWHERE in india unfortunately)...and i got lectured about how i dont understand the culture etc. in the end my dad ended up softening up and giving change more often and i ended up being more cynical/less naive. it was a dope ABC family type resolution tbh we both grew as people :worm:

    Not really a scam but I was 18. We went to this strip club and after a couple beers i decided to get a private dance. It was 20$ per song and i told the girl just one song. So while i'm there the b---- didn't say anything and 3 songs had passed. Then she goes "It's going to be 60$". I told her it was supposed to be one song. (I only had 40$ left) Then she says we were in for 3 songs so i owe her 60$. I told her i only had 40$ left and that she was supposed to tell me when the song was over. She looked at me with this pissed off look and said "whatever". So in the end she got scammed tryng to scam me.

    I hate passing by people begging for money. I usually just walk by and pretend i didn't see them. It sometimes makes me feel like s--- but i'm sure for every 1 person who really needs it, 10 are drug addicts and are there because it's their fault and i sure as h--- don't want to encourage that. I respect people who make an effort to earn it though. Like if the person picks up trash, plays music or some s---.

    The first time my friends and I got together to buy some weed we got ripped off. I don't think any of us saw a real eighth until junior year. That's what happens when pill heads are the only weed hook ups.

    Strip clubs are expensive as f---. That in itself is a scam. They probably make tons of money from desperate people. All that money goes to waste because when you leave you're just horny as f---. Might as well hire a hooker.

    Just remembered this story from years ago when i got scammed by my dealer. He was a pretty new contact but I had been purchasing speed from him for like 2, 3 months. The guy was my age and was pretty cool. He made me great deals every time.

    Then like twice he called me offering me ridiculous deals. Like 25 pills for 50$. I refused because i already had some and was short on cash. He insisted and tryed to make me better offers. I thought it was weird that he was the one to call me and looked like he was desperate to sell his s---.

    Then maybe a week later i called him and again he made me these great offers on the phone so i'm like cool. I told a friend from work about the great deals this guy made and he pitched in 20$. I drived to meet my dealer and when i was there he told me he didn't have the pills and that he has to meet up with his supplier. He told me to give him the money now so he could buy more from his dude. So i gave him the cash.

    He tells me to wait for him in the parking lot of a convenience store not far away. So me and my friend we're there just waiting in the car for my dealer to call. 45 minutes passed by and i'm wondering what the f--- he is doing so i text him. No answer. I call him, no answer. So after like an hour i'm like f--- it, we'll just wait for him to call back and we headed back to my friends place.

    2 hours later i get a text from my dealer. He's like "sorry for making you wait so long man, i got the pills now" meet me at the Tim Hortons parking lot. So i'm like finally, and me and my friend head there. The same s--- happens. We waited close to an hour and them i'm started to wonder if this f---er is ever going to show up or if he's just playing with us. He ended not showing up.

    Tryed calling my dealer back an hour or two later and that's when he finally picked up. I knew he did coke and that time he seemed high as f--- when he answered. At that point i was really pissed. So i ask him were the h--- he was and told him that if he doesn't have the pills to give me back my money. Then he tells me "sorry, man. I don't have your money" he said that he used my money to buy coke instead and that he was sorry. I was raging. The guy had wasted my friday night making me drive around waiting for him and he stole our money.

    Never saw the guy again.

    everyone talkin about bums askin for money just dont know.
    vegas is riddled with them, you dont stop at a red light or pull in a gas station without seeing a misspelled sign or a gnarly beard
    and since were talking about scamming other people now, one time i sold this chic some cut up squares of nyquil and told her they were gel tabs.
    she hit me up the next day, said her and her friends tripped nuts, and bought more.
