    I had kinda the opposite of this happen to me when I worked at a carwash, some guy walked up to the counter and asked "Are these car fresheners buy one get one free?" before I could answer he grabbed two and threw a dollar down on the counter and walked away. Just kinda let him cause i thought it was hilarious.

    Lol I especially love the strip club stories.

    I've never been scammed beside the occasional bums in any city asking for some extra cash. I'm not sure if this counts.. but I had a random phone call from out of state call me consistently for weeks on end. I finally decided to pick up, was a man with a heavy Indian accent exclaiming I just won some money "from the government" I politely declined. Few mins later.. same number, different voice, I asked if I could be removed from the list & the man responds "Ok ma'am as you wish. Can I have a kiss instead?" I thought I heard wrong at first, I had to ask if he could repeat himself. "Just a little kiss, miss?" Blocked. Hung up immediately after lol.

    CoCo's Ghetto-Fabulous Scams.

    -When buying something off craigslist (or something similar), call the person you're going to pick an item up from and say "Hey i'm driving from a fair distance away, would you mind taking $10 off for fuel" works 99% of the time and if you live 5 mins away, you really just got 10 bucks off. Bargain.

    -If your bud is dry, leave it in a bag of freshly peeled potato skins and they'll start to absorb some moisture. making them weigh more, making you more $$$$. Bargain.

    -When using a 'self-serve' checkout, feel free to hold 2 items at once when scanning. This way 1 product gets scanned and the other doesn't, it's really 2 for the price of 1. Bargain!

    -When beggars ask you for money, give them none. If they are confident enough to ask strangers for money, they are only looking for their next drug hit. Next time you see one, save your money and potentially save their life. Bargain.

    -Instead of buying new shoes for work, just buy some $5 gloss black spray paint and give your old pair of shoes a coat. They'll look good as new and that's a bargain.

    -When buying just about anything from the shop that has packaging, throw it at the floor and f--- that s--- up so it looks like a neanderthal handled it during shipping. Take it to the front and say "I couldn't find any others, but this is all f----- up, discount maybe?" (if their is more than 1 product, just push the rest off the shelf onto the floor and kick it under the shelves). can get anywhere from $5-$15 off retail price. Bargain!

    -Buy a pair of sunnies from your local service station. Preferably colored red, with a strong tint in the lenses. Next get some zip-lock baggies and some sugar. fill the baggies with sugar, then spray inside all of them with deodorant. Wear the fresh new sunnies you picked up and viola, you're now a top tier speed dealer that makes 100% profit. BARGAIN!

    -Become a police officer in Queensland and legally confiscate drugs off festival goers, then when nobody is looking, eat all of them. Free StereoSonic show, free assortment of drugs and the best part? you GET PAID TO BE THERE! B-A-R-GAIN MATE!

    I swear 90% of the time i've went to strip clubs strippers always come sit on my lap first. Maybe it's because i'm this innocent looking guy and they see me as easy prey or it's because they find me more attractive and think i have a lot of money. I like to believe it's the latter.

    I enjoy the time they sit on my lap or on my d-ck but i almost always refuse a dance.

    I don't think I've been scammed per say, but I've had a lot of s--- straight up stolen from me over the years. A lot of loans that never got paid back. Friends, family, employees, and strangers. It's pretty sad. Everyone who knows me in real life knows that I would give them the shirt off my back. Even when I see it coming, I give people the benefit of the doubt. Just the other night my brother in law jacked $500 out of my sock drawer. I didn't know he had a key to my house, and he didn't know I had cameras. He knew d--- well I would have just given him some money if he would have asked. It always comes back on them though because he will need my help and I only get burned once by the same person. People are s--- and that's why I'm an a------ online

    You could have had money and a kiss and you turned it down? Sounds like a good deal to me
