Support NeoGAF

I was just walking down the street I usually walk on to get to my job when a guy walks up to me. He starts talking to me in an accent (he claimed to be from African) and he kept talking to me about how his parents live in Africa and he has no money until they send him some next week...but he needed to get money now so he was selling his CDs...and he wanted me to trade them in at the pawn shop. Okay, obviously they're stolen and the guys at the pawnshop knew the guy. So I just say no and walk away.

Fucker wouldn't leave me alone for 3 blocks passed the pawn shop. More stuff about how he needed the money and I was just waiting for him to tell me he was Nigerian royalty or some shit. Anyways, I'm sure this stuff happens alot in other cities, but in my small Canadian cities it was something I've never expereinced before. Just a good story I guess.

Haha, I was gonna edit out that last bit but I'm a lazy, lazy man.

To attempt to make this an actual thread, anyone else have any similar stories where you get thrusted into the life of crime?

No.... but I was once pulled over on the side of the road in the middle of the night living a ritzy upper, upper neighborhood and forced to sit on the cold ground for over and hour with the 2 other fellas in the car while police and dogs searched the hell out of our car(we'd just dropped off a white female friend at her father's house).

What does my story have to do with yours?

Hell if I know....

Actually they've apparently traced a number of 419 dudes and African scammers to Canadian areas, according to a TV show I saw. maybe they think being above borders makes them untouchable or something

Wheres that thread that someone posted and it went something like "Something may or may not have happened"

In Liverpool we get these ratty little bastards wearing ancient tracksuits with their bad hair and rotten teeth coming up to you and asking you for petrol money (I assume because their cars don't have petrol meters). Sometimes there are more inventive sob stories, but I've had that one a few times... I've caved in more than once just to get them to go away too, and some of these assholes can be intimidating.

They don't look like they can afford soap let alone a car... horrible crack head bastards need to be drowned in the river mersey.

I stole a GBA SP from my last retail job. They deserved it (the store that was treating me shitty, not Nintendo... well, okay, maybe a little bit Nintendo).

So you're going to die from disease abruptly?

So I finally got sick of his begging and said "if you really need money, there's something you can do for me" and winked at him. So he nodded, shut up, and we went looking for a hotel room. After about 15 minutes (I was an hour late for work today oh well) we finally found a crummy hotel near my work. The next half hour was the best sweaty homeless homosexual sex I've had since last week. I ended up giving him a $100 bill which was all I had. He was so delighted that he gave me 2 free CDs. SCORE!

I walked in to a 7-11 one time after someone stole a can of beef jerky, the guy working there was shaking and asking the customers if he should phone 9.1.1.
