I fell for a scam once. Someone called my job and said they were calling on behalf of a gentleman who wanted to place a large order. A 5k order, something like that.

So I'm all excited and ready to make money. But it never occurred to me to ask why I have to keep working with this middle woman instead of the man himself. She told me he was disabled so I was like, :yeshrug: I'm gon eat.

So she called me back, gave me the credit card so I could process the order and all of that.

Then come to find out a couple days later, the bank rings us up to tell us that the funds in our account would have to be returned because they were stolen funds (a stolen credit card or debit card).

Man I was hot. Eventually the lady called back to check on the status of the order but I was :unimpressed:


I demanded to talk to the guy directly.

She puts me on the phone with dude finally and no diaspora wars, but he was a brother from the motherland.

So I start going off. He starts laughing and juelzing. He knew he was caught.



So finally I lose it and I go low... I'm not proud of this but I remembered reading them books about life on the motherland when I was growing up... and there was one term in particular that I remembered.

I said "you kaffir."

Dude lost it. He had the nerve to start trying to cuss me out in broken English. Talking about "fukk you in the butt!!! :pacspit:

Dude was going OFF off.

So we on the phone shouting at each other. I keep calling him a kaffir and he keeps cussing me out in broken English.

Sorry not sorry. I was mad. Technically I didn't lose any money but I was still mad.

Early Access games :francis: .

Beyond that...a long time ago, I just got paid from my job and was on the verge of getting a Transpass and doing due diligence. Dudes were doing 3 card Monty and called me over, so my smooth brained ass was like :ehh: , lets see what's cracking.

Dude moved the cards, I picked the Joker. The feeling of rush occurred to me and as a sharp-eyed marsupial, I was going to put money on the table. I did it and yep...you guess it...didn't get the Joker and got played out of my money.

Assed out and not having a red cent to get the bus fare, I had to sell my God Of War PSP game to get bus fare :mjcry:


Another instance, there used to be a game/phone store around my old way that my brother and I used to go to. We usually trade games in and keep it bouncing, but this particular day, one of the dudes wanted to play me for a game in WCW/NWO Revenge.

Me being good with games as I beat my brother numerous times in such a game, I felt froggy and leaped. LMAO, I got my assed handed to me and then some, along with realizing that you can turn wrestlers around to do more damage to them.

I lost not only the game I was going to trade in, but another one that I had on me.

Sigh....its sucks being a koala:mjcry:
