Older sister locked me out of the house once...I had to shite real bad.
Bunch of her friends were over. I ended up pooping in my hand and rubbing it under all of her friends car door handles.

It's only an island if you look at it from the water.

No. Telemarketers have tried but I just pretend to fall for it so I can waste their time.

First year as an LSU student. I just came from India, went to a football game. Bought a LSU cap. On my way home, this dude goes nice cap and i hand it to him. He puts it on and walks away.
I was new and not going to get into fight or law. Never again I trusted people that i didnt know

How do you guys get scammed by hookers? Dont you pay after, or if they insist on you paying first, you threaten to beat their arse if they leave?

Today probably at the Albertsons on airline hwy in BR(Hammond Air) a young couple ( looked about 19-20 white guy/black girl) come up to me in the parking lot with a toddler in a stroller . He said I hate to ask but could you spare some change or food for my baby. All I had on me was a twenty, which I gave him .I told them this better go for food for this baby. He said I wouldn't ask if it wasn't for the baby and I said I wouldn't give you anything if it wasn't for the baby ... they probably spent it on drugs... hope not

I got one.
So my grandfather and I are traveling around Athens, Greece. Taking in the sights around town just before dinner. I was trying to take some sunset picture of the Acropolis, etc from different high points in the city.
So as we are leaving one hill, a taxi driver offers us a ride to another spot, and take us to a good restaurant for dinner. I was okay hoofing it or taxi back to our hotel and eat nearby, but what the heck. Why not listen to the local guy.
So after flying through another hill (he didn't stop), he proceeds to drive us wayyyy out of town. Imaging driving from Bourbon St all the way to Kenner for a restaurant. I'm realizing something's not right. After a hefty cab fare, we finally get to the restaurant. It appears okay. Not real impressive, definitely not gourmet, but it looks legit. A few other Americans and other non-Greeks there. The driver tells us - and the restaurant staff - that he'll pick us up. The two of us order a pretty typical meal (salad, bread, fish, dessert (I think)), oddly there were no prices on the menu. And when we get the bill, WHOA! It's like $200! (2002 dollars mind you). Even if our entrees were $50 a piece, it wouldn't have cost that. And these were not $50 entrees for some cheap fish and rice. I knew we were being scammed.
At that point, I wasn't going to cause a scene in the restaurant, and they could argue the meal cost was legit, but I was stopping this scam right then. So I told my grandad, let's go and we're not taking that taxi back.
The restaurant staff tried to make us stay until the cabbie returned (to bilk us out of more euros),but we just hit the street. Eventually, we found a bus heading back to the city and enjoyed an hour ride back.
It really left me disappointed at how other countries take advantage of the goodwill and trust of the American culture. Not very nice indeed!
