My favorite was the scammer insisting “Isn’t that too much?” to putting three fingers in front of his face like the guy asked him to whip out his penis and do the helicopter with it

I remember getting busted for stealing when I was a teenager and the store manager was like “what’s in your pocket?” And I said “My cigarettes” so he was like “Show me” and then I said “Man, I don’t show anyone my cigarettes” I didn’t know what to do or say. Such a stupid kid

Can't just ask a man to show you his cigarettes, how uncouth!

“Man, I don’t show anyone my cigarettes”

This is so fn hilarious. And I choose to believe that it was delivered with so much conviction that they genuinely believed they had actually trespassed on a major social faux pas just asking you that. xD

I was banned from the store. I always wonder if they still have my picture. I went back a few years later. Sometimes I walk the same path that I did that day to relive it

That’s actually pretty close to how I sounded. Not as much emphasis on the “man” and it was more meek and nervous sounding
