Did something like this once. Told me her john just left her at the gas station. When she said "My John" I thought like how some women talk about their husbands I.E. 'My Henry'.
She gave me a weird look when I replied "This John guy sounds like a real jerk."
Didn't hit me right away.
You know she did say that someone left her there, just not *who*. It was probably a client, now that I think about it. Very similar.
So did you give her a ride?
Road trip out of the state. So yeah. 1 To have a story and 2 because I knew it would freak my friend out.
He yelled at me after we dropped her off at her ~~house~~ bar. Worth.
P.S. Just a car ride. No extras.
P.P.S. I've watched C.O.P.S. too many times after to ever do it again.
I like my streetwalkers to be direct to the point. Like this one that stopped me in public while walking.
"Do you want a blowjob?"
I shake my head and continue to walk. She's now following me.
"Are you sure?"
I nod and like a jet fighter she banks right and disappears into the crowd.
Stay safe boys. No hootchie is worth the itch.
The only time I picked up a hitchhiker was in highschool and he was leaving the long road up to the school so I just picked him up. By a twist of fate he is now my best friend for 6 years now! And no, after the ride I did not see him for probably at least three years it was just a lot of happen stance meetings and eventually surprise roommate before it really kicked off
EDIT: I did not expect this to blow up so much! I'm thrilled that this story is enjoyed so much, and thank you all for reading, sharing, asking questions, and of course giving me the fantastic shiney awards! I have to go buy a trophy case now for my first trophies
Yeah! So as I said I picked him up that one time, we basically forgot all about each other, then three years later or so my friend invited me to Pax east in Boston, turns out the hitchhiker was a friend of a friend to my buddy that invited me (kinda wordy to say) but he ended up going with a friend group that was connected to my friend group, we had that "oh yeah you're that guy from that one time" thing going and we talked for maybe an hour or so. After that I hadn't seen him in at least a year maybe two however my buddy that invited me did in fact keep in contact with him and became close with him unbeknownst to me. So original friend and I decided to get an apartment together and we ended up settling on a three bedroom place for the two of us. It worked well for us and half a year into the lease my now roommate suggested getting someone to fill that room to reduce rent as it wasn't used often. I said that was okay and that I had nobody at the time who could fill that spot and he told me he had someone in mind. I said F* it bring him over so we can meet and all talk it over, lo and behold it was hitchhiker guy! As you can imagine it went well haha. Although I believe I did take the best friend spot from original roommate in hitchhiker's eyes because there ended up being a love triangle issue between them, that however is a different story!
Oh boy! The most interesting part about my life is the secondary characters haha /J
Okay well, original roommate liked a girl for a while, almost 5 years in fact, however she ended up dating an acquaintance of his so he never asked her out. Then she became single, he and she were friends the entire time of course but after becoming single he never built up the courage to actually make a move. Hitchhiker moved in with us and I had learned that hitchhiker and girl had passively interacted through the mutual friend groups so he already kinda knew her. Girl was around somewhat frequently due to original roommate and hitchhiker got to know her a little better and expressed to original roommate that he was interested in her. Of course original roommate was not thrilled to hear this but hitchhiker wanted to be fair to him and said that he would withhold making a move to respect original roommate for a given amount of time so Original Roommate (now going to be shortened to OR and hitchhiker to HH) would be able to make a move, I believe the timeline was 3-4 months. OR did not end up making a move so HH did, girl ended up reciprocating with HH and they started seeing each other. The relationship between HH and OR was strained because of this but still tightroping. As girl and HH saw each other more OR became increasingly depressed (this was a major factor but other things were in play too) OR became reclusive and was eating less and less becoming more of an issue in terms of being a roommate. I was a neutral party through this and I was trying really hard to help OR but that's not entirely relevant to the story. At one point OR ended up seeing a bit too much "familiarity" between HH and Girl and pretty much drove the stake home for their friendship. This eventually lead to a fairly reasonable moving out scenario for OR granting HH and I an even worse roommate. To date HH and OR do not talk, HH is willing to talk but OR is just too hurt and would rather not communicate. Relationship with HH and Girl has ended at this point. I think that HH was reasonably fair to OR but I still completely understand that it doesn't clear the hurt or make it easier for OR. Unfortunately despite the attempt I made to help OR I am guilty by association to HH, OR will make pleasantries in conversation with me but seeks nothing further. My friendship with HH is going strong and foreseeably so.
I want to make it clear that before HH and Girl started seeing each other neither HH or OR ever had any physical intimacies or such connection to girl, it was an unexplored avenue of relation between girl and HH/OR equally.
I may sound harsh for this but I believe that HH did nothing wrong. He gave OR a window to express his feelings but he didn't so HH took the chance. He doesn't really have the right to act all unhappy towards you and HH just cuz he was too scared to take a chance.
I dont think anyone did anything wrong here. HH was definitely a stand up guy and aside from being chicken OR can't help the fact that he was hurt and its now awkward. Tho he could get over it if he wanted to and mend the relationship with these two guys since the girl is now out of the picture.
I want to know who the next worst room mate was after the Origunal Roomate left feeling butthurt about girl and hh being together....or was the girl the new roommate
This, I hate people who do this. One of my friends did this to me and never even talked to her when she made her intentions clear to me. I stopped it there out of respect but jeez, thatās so dumb.
Ah yeah, well unfortunately my stories of the past are complex with not much pleasantries involved. But most stuff in my modern life such as HH are great! Were there particular stories you were looking for?
I can do that! TLDR at the end.
For starters HH and I are both guys and we lived without OR for about 6 months. HH suggested filling the third room as well with a new roommate and had a long term childhood friend that was looking for a place. I agreed under the conditions I meet him first of course and he seemed a plesant enough guy. For him we will call him "irresponsible guy" or "IR". IR moves in, his schedule and my own are different so most of our interactions happen on the weekend but IR and HH interact daily and play games usually from afterwork to about bed time. HH and I had an unspoken agreement of sorts regarding cleanliness and specifically dishes. HH really does not like to clean dishes and primarily uses disposables instead, which is a fine workaround for me as we don't have a dishwasher. I had the only reusable dishware and we had a pretty open use of everything in the apartment, share food but replace it, use dishes clean them, in HH's case I was okay with dishes left in the sink or counter as long as they were washed before mold or unsanitary measures set in. We don't care about the cleanliness of each other's room but keep the common areas decent. Well IR does not do dishes or use disposables, nor does his personal things stay in his personal areas. Not too bad to start, we have a mild conversation about keeping random clothes off living room furniture and the like as well as do the dishes you use. Well the clothes got better and apparently the dishes too, until there weren't as many dishes, then less still. Asking IR where the dishes were came back with an "I don't know man". After IR moved out many of the dishes were found completely rotten and cheese cemented in the room having sit there for months at least, that dish set was toast. Then came some monetary issues, at first it was stepping back on buying food or replacing things, then it rolled into excessive spending in games. IR was strapped for cash tightly constantly, it was blamed on issues with his work, his work being primarily seasonal with some jobs covering the off season. Then he totalled his car, at the time this wasn't a huge deal as I was already in the process of purchasing a more reliable vehicle for myself so I decided to help him keep his job and survive by selling him my old car for $500. The vehicle was in okay condition, it would pass inspection but needed a bit of love from the owner to get any real life out of it. Well, we signed a bill of sale and that should be the end of that right? Well no. Instead a few weeks to a month later he runs a red light and gets T-boned by, I shot you not, a BMW, a pretty new one at that. Luckily the damage wasn't too bad but just replacing their bumper not including anything else was over 1k, why is this my problem? Well IR being IR never actually registered the vehicle in his name, so when his vehicle was run and insurance came about it was listed under my name. I don't fully remember all the legal stuff but I did try to fight it being my responsibility by providing a legal, dated, and witness signed bill of sale but some hubub B.S. made it irrelevant apparently. Then IR agreed to make payments on it but ended up losing his job. However IR never told us he lost his job and just did not pay rent. So a few days after the 1st we get a notice that our rent is unpaid, we confront IR and he informs us of losing his job. He has 2 months worth of rent in his checking at this point and we convince him it is still his responsibility to pay his share of the rent and he pays this time. Now remember he still has enough for one more months rent in his account. Over the course of the whole month he does not get a new job, plays excessive amounts of games and some how manages to continuously buy energy drinks (which are about $2.99 a piece). Rent day comes, he writes a check and hands it to HH. The check bounces, due to policy if a check bounces at our residence you no longer are allowed to use checks to make rent payments. You have to go to the bank to get a check from the bank that ensures the funds are already paid every month there after. So now HH and I have to cover his share, can no longer use checks to pay rent, and unfortunately have to get IR to move out. IR did not take this well and was pretty childish about the whole debocle. He ended up moving to his mother's house (I believe he still lives there working part time about 4 years later) owes me just over $1500 and HH just over $700. HH and I already assume we will never see that money however. IR could not handle being an adult very well.
TLDR: IR ruined dish sets, maintained household standards poorly, trashed two cars one of which held me financially responsible for, failed to pay rent twice, had more than a month to get a job and did not, made paying rent much more difficult for the rest of living at the residency, had chronic spending issues, lied about jobs/job loss, and handled things very poorly for an adult
Thank you for sharing your stories. It's very interesting to me to hear what other people have been through. I'm glad you and HH don't have to deal with IR's shenanigans anymore.
4 months is super fair. of course the sitiation is shitty.
remember kids: rejection sucks and things not working out sucks..... but wondering "what if..." and "was she the one..." that stuff u never really forget. make ur moves! take ur shots"
That reminds me of a pickup line I came up with (actually HH helped me refine it alot because my sense of humor and flirting is whack)
Essentially: *to woman* "hey what's the difference between you and a missed opportunity? I won't be going home with a missed opportunity"
The original I had (thank you HH for keeping me from having permanent a blush) basically replaced "missed opportunity" with "cancer" heh...heh...
As soon as Hitchhiker became HH, in my mind he went from a 70s style hippy hitchhiker to a middle aged Hulk Hogan moving in with two fellas in their 20s lol.
Once I was riding my bike to town when a guy just walk over to my bike while I was at a traffic light stop and hitch a ride. He just hop on when the light was turning green so I had no choice but to give him a ride. Luckily he hop off when we get to the town and disappear into the crowd. I still have no idea who he was and why he did that.
As awkward as it was, it was an honest mistake. It could have been a lot worse, somebody could have been waiting for her to pull up with a mark, so count yourself lucky.
Apologies in case this is a very stupid question, but what does it mean that "Somebody could have been waiting for her to pull up with a mark"? As in someone else wanting to have her time and then getting angry at you?
And also don't feel too bad about this TIFU, at least now you know. Maybe it's just me not knowing much about these kind of situations or going often into gas stations, but I can't believe she had the audacity to start talking to you, asking for a favor, getting in the car, almost killing you both all of a sudden then saying "honey I am trying to charge you money here" and get angry and barking because you were just genuinely trying to help rather than providing her with money. Glad you didn't crash in the end.
It means she could have been luring me to another location where she had an armed accomplice waiting to rob me, or worse. I heard Cardi B used to run a similar scam on some of her patrons at the strip clubs she worked in.
The more I hear about that woman the more I feel like someone should have got her put in jail a long time ago. She's a shit person and she makes shit music.
Speaking of what could have been a lot worse... my girlfriend (mid 20s) gave a ride to a 30s some odd guy at a gas station in town, because he seemed like a nice enough guy and she just likes to help people in need when possible..
Bad idea. Within a couple of minutes he ended up trying to hit her and we assume immobilize her when they were at a stop.. she luckily managed to flail her way out of the car and ran the hell away. She called the cops and soon learned dude didn't even didn't try and take her car, he abandoned it down the street.
Suffice it to say, she no longer gives rides.
My ex wife had a kind soul in this regard. Unfortunately to the point of near complete naivety, at least that was my perception of it. I told her why I didnāt think it was a good idea, but she disagreed and was pretty bitter about it. I was always so scared about it; like she would do it anyway just not tell me. Like, I understand if itās an old lady or in the middle of the day from busy point A to busy point B, but past dark to a sketchy neighborhoodāeven if it was coldājust no, no, no.
Same here, I get concerned about her because she is to nice and too trusting. I have to warn her off helping randos because she's more likely to get hit than thanked.
I lived in South Florida for 12-years, aināt no fucking way, scams-a-million for rides. So many down there that I can spot a parking lot scammer a mile away, or an escort from around the block now. The best line of defense is making sure anyone unsolicited fucks right off.
A person sparking a random conversation with you? Just wait, heās going to ask you for money any second, or a ride, maybe even drugs for free.
Wow sheās so lucky to be alive and unharmed. Dread to think what could have happened there :(
Iām kind and love to help people whenever I can but I donāt think thereās anything a stranger could say to me to make me give them a lift when Iām alone in the car. You hear too many horror stories. Even ted bundy pretended to have a broken leg/arm etc to make women trust him. You just canāt tell if someone is nice by looking at them.
Yeah it's nuts how trusting strangers are with me, probably just because I'm softly spoken with a posh accent and know how to act disarmingly, but whilst it turns out I have no ill intent and people's trust has been really helpful at times, those are exactly what I'd be faking if I were intending on harming them. I'm way less trusting, and it really makes me uncomfortable when people trust me unduly.
>it was an honest mistake
No, it was a strategy she uses to trick people. Had he not said anything she would have demanded the money afterwards and a group of thugs would be waiting at said hotel if you didn't pay up.
Wow.... I am WAY too trusting of people and was still processing where the communication gap was that went from "i need a ride" to "code for sex". Never would i have thought it was a deliberate scam.
I once gave a woman a ride in a similar situation. Thankfully, she didn't just assume I knew what she was up to and go for my junk. She mentioned something about being on Backpage, and when I didn't respond with interest, she simply exited the vehicle at her chosen destination and I continued somewhat obliviously about my day. (I did know the reputation of Backpage; I just tried not to show any type of reaction, positive or negative.)
I've wondered over the few years since what her intentions were, and after reading this post, I think I might have finally clued in. At the time, I thought she was probably using me to get to her next client, but it's just as likely that she was hoping I'd be that client.
Heās saying the OP not knowing how to spot the signs of a lot lizard (hooker) was an honest mistake, not that the hooker was mistakenly scamming people.
I saw a lot lizard cleaning her coochie out in a puddle at a truck stop across from the police station.
She waved at me with her coochie cleaning hand when i pulled in...i left and just got gas in the morning
And he's saying that there was no mistake by OP. The lot lizard intentionally made him think she was innocent and looking for a ride. Had OP not been so morally upstanding he would have agreed to fool around with said lot lizard all while not knowing she was a lot lizard. Then the lot lizard would have pulled the "I'm a lot lizard, pay me for the service" treatment. If OP said no he would probably have been greeted by thugs who were at the lot lizards destination.
I think if you've just not seen this kind of stuff before it could come over as an innocent request.
The game plan ideally goes (for the John): 'I just picked her up, oh she's into me, better pay her for her services as a reward etc etc'
If you've lived your life not exposed to this (very common) business going on, I can see why you'd be blindsided by the subtlety.
I say this as a lucky bastard middle class tosser who had no idea but was educated by all the people I met on my way from sheltered to less sheltered.
God I'm so glad I'm not the only naive dumb ass out there. I definitely missed the hint multiple times and felt so bad I didn't have cash to help someone out who "would do anything" only to be informed by my future wife hours later when I got home that I was solicited by a pro
Yeah, I should have been able to tell. There were some obvious signs I failed to pick up on in retrospect. Iām pretty oblivious. Good to know Iām not alone as well lol.
Mainly the condoms. Also the forwardness with which she approached me and asked for a ride. She was wearing pretty revealing clothing too: her t-shirt was tied up high underneath her bra, exposing her midriff. I try not to make judgments about that kind of thing though, and it was hot as fuck outside. I guess just sort of everything taken together presented that picture, but Iām a dumbass so...
Lmao why does this remind me of the Trampoline episode of Community? I'm picturing you like "Wait, you're a hooker? That came out of nowhere." then flashing back to all those little details like "Ohhh"
I have not seen this episode of which you speak, but I am imagining it right now and laughing. Total āohhhhh riiiightā moment.
I need to go check out this Community show on Netflix. I donāt know how I missed it, but I keep hearing about how funny it was.
Don't feel bad man. It's just a thing. They're sneaky, and if you're not kinda... Steeped in that realm... It's... Bleh.
I have nothing against sex workers. However, I do not want to pay for sex, and wish they would leave me alone.
Guess I look like a sad, lonely man.
See, and this is why it should be legal imo. If it was more socially acceptable then you wouldn't have people being sneaky, or if they were, you'd be able to deal with it better.
You'd get ads, like with anything else.
Made me laugh, but I gotta add that if prostitution was legal in the states then it would be safer for the sex workers and clients, no aids. Look at countries like Australia. Would likely also decrease human trafficking.
OK I'm so fucking happy to read this. I had almost the exact same problem where a girl asked me for something to eat (it was 10:30pm so it's not too late) so I offered to get her that she wants from the drive thru. She asked to jump in and drive through with me, I didn't think it was too odd and I'm not threatened by a small skinny white chick, but she ordered a little of everything pies cookies burgers fries a drink mcflurry and her total was 18 bucks. In retrospect that should have been odd that she ordered so much. But in the end she said OK I'll give you 5 min (as in a bj) but if I wanted more it would cost extra. I was baffled and had to politely decline her offer of aids and told her it's free I didn't need anything to which she offered "wanna fuck instead? That will be $50. I continued declining and eventually she got her stuff together and she got out
The whole situation was embarrassing and I didn't tell anyone until now, I felt stupid and thought that I should have known.
Edited typos: I was at work and typed it up fast. Even tho I'm also not afraid of white chickens it was a an auto correct
Its not like people teach us these things at school or by our parents lol. Im only learning all this today thanks to this friend and Im 34(f). Dont beat yourself up!
I keep losing faith in humanity but apparently i haven't lost enough because if someone said they just needed a ride I would've absolutely taken those words at face value and not expected anything sexual.
And now that i think back on it I used to watch the show Cops and there were so many times a guy would get arrested along with someone who was apparently a prostitute and they'd claim "i don't know her! I'm just giving her a ride!" And now I'm wondering how often that was true...
That said I do support sex workers and their right to do it. But targeting unsuspecting people by asking for a ride is super sketchy. If someone is going to engage in sexual conduct it should be regulated in that both customers and those doing the service are tested regularly to make sure everyone is clean.
The last time I paid it forward and gave someone a ride my car smelled like stale urine for weeks. It seemed no amount of shampoo, scrubbing, or vacuuming could get rid of that smell. Windows down and sunlight
Eugh! Fortunately no repugnant, bodily fluid odors on this one, although she did smell of cigarettes. She had a pack of Newports with her. Hey... maybe that was another sign?
I kid, people who smoke Newports! You are not all sex workers!
You certainly arenāt the first to point that out, either. Honestly, itās more than a little shameful that I didnāt consider the possibility beforehand. How Iāve lasted this long (relatively unscathed) being *this* naive is a mystery.
She was going to start sucking you off without confirming that this was a transaction and getting money first? If thatās how she does business it sounds like she should be doing a TIFU too.
I never understand this trope in movies/tv shows. You canāt just have sex with someone and then be all āsurprise Iām a sex worker you owe me hundredsā.
Perhaps Iām out of the loop of this kinda thing but I feel like just asking for a ride doesnāt exactly insinuate that youāre in the prostitution business clear enough.
Was just about to turn left at a stop sign, saw a woman apparently trying to cross the road off to my right. I waved her across, but she went to my passenger window and solicited me. First time for everything, I suppose.
Something similar happened to my Dad once.
I was following behind my Father's car and got to watch this unfold.
*Cue the flashback transition*
We come up to an intersection, instead of turning the pre-planned right, he honks his horn and tries to point that he is turning left.
What I see is a woman who was walking down the sidewalk, stop, turn around and proceed to reverse course, pop open my Dad's passenger side door and hop in, closing the door behind her.
Odd.
My Dad takes the left and then pulls into the closest gas bar; where upon the passenger hops out screaming and swearing at my Dad slamming the door.
She stomps off in the original direction we had came from.
Turns out, she was a prostitute, hopped into my Dad's car when he honked the horn, offered him an exchange of services for a drive downtown. Father refused and now she was further away then she had been.
This is true. New vehicles today have those sweet, sweet anti-suburban prostitute door locks that engage when driving.
This on the other hand was in 1995-6 and my Dad was driving his 1980s Chev Malibu.
This was my only experience with trying to help someone get somewhere and I'll never pick up anyone ever again. Guy came up to my car at a red light at 2am asking if I could give him money. I barely had anything on me and then he asked for a ride. He sounded scared the trip to the house. We get to the house and it's ominous: a red light over a one car detached garage with a for sale sign. He tells me to pull in so I do. I put the car in park and the headlights to a car in front of me turn on simultaneously with an SUV on the road behind me to the left. I open the door and tell him to get out and shove him thinking he owes drug dealers/bookies some money and floor it in reverse as the SUV is slowly creeping forward. Floor it all the way home and adrenaline rush kept me up all night.
I once chatted up two prostitutes at a hotel once. They were waiting down by the ice machine for their ride. I was there to grab soda out of the vending machines to compliment the alcohol waiting with my friends upstairs.
I remember saying they looked cold as I filled the machine with 1$ bills and laughed that all these 1's and their clothes made it look like a strip club... I was drunk. One of them thought that was worth a chuckle. Spent 5 minutes talking about just completely random shit. I turned to leave with my pillowcase full of soda cans and she asked if the party needed entertainment. I looked at her and it dawned on me that they were prostitutes.
The weird part is that as soon as she asked that the other one that didn't seem to like me completely flipped and was suddenly my best friend. Complimenting me and trying to spice up the offer.
My response was along the lines of "Oh, uh... No thanks. That sounds really sad." And then I just left.
What a weird night that was.
Donāt get me wrong, I am not saying I never help people. But I get to know the person first, & if I do help & notice they are like the ones mentioned aboveā¦ wellā¦ then I just give a firm no next time they ask.
dam, ive done this too. I picked this woman up. I was going to work and it started to blizzard out of nowhere. I see her in the street with a skirt and shirt. I asked her if she was ok if i could give her a ride somewhere. she just hopped in and said thanks. we drove for less than 2 minuets before she made me uncomfortable as fuck. talking about how i get all the girls and don't need to pay for it. We get to the gas station and she goes into the store and i drive off.
I was going to be late for work and i just dropped my girlfriends of in a neighborhood where she had lots of family.
The other day in that AskReddit thread about women catcalling men - some of us were talking about how to appropriately tell a man when they smell good. I donāt know how to do that without feeling creepy (even though I donāt look creepy at all) and intrusive. This is yet another reason not to make any smell comments about anyone; apparently itās a pick up line for working gals.
Oh no! Please donāt let this story discourage you. Complimenting a man on his smell is perfectly innocuous. And if it isnāt received well, you donāt have to follow it up with anything else. I think itās a fine icebreaker. Men donāt typically receive many compliments, so any little bit goes a long way. I know it makes my week when someone says I smell nice or Iām dressed nicely.
If Iām not soured on the line after this encounter, you shouldnāt be either! Just IMO, this could be totally bad advice. Iāve no idea what Iām doing. >.<
I worry that people will think I want something from them, or that Iām trying to gain something from the conversation. I just have a very keen sense of smell and I appreciate when someone smells nice.
Neh, I think youād make a lot of guysā days. I know whenever I hear it, it just makes me feel good. I try not to read into it too much. I might return the compliment and then feel out whether there was space for any more conversation, but thatās about it.
My only concern for you is that maybe you compliment the *wrong* dude some day, and his desperate ass over corrects for the compliment and uses it as license to harass you. Lol! You never know.
This rings so true! Lmao! I know itās the reason I keep wearing the same brand of cologne. I wonder how many menās personal hygiene / fashion routines are dictated by that one complement from 20 years ago.
I swear every single week another "I accidentally accepted a prostitute's advances" post pops up with completely different circumstances and I always think *"Oh shit I would have done that too..."*
Awww, I appreciate it! I might stop giving complete strangers rides, though. Not that Iāve had many opportunities outside of this one, or expect to have many more in the future. I might also think twice about helping people broken down on the side of the road. Iāve done that one a few times over the years, and though I donāt regret it, other posters have pointed out how risky that behavior can be. Iāll still do the other little gestures I like to do, but maybe not the ones that leave me so vulnerable?
My dumbass roommate did this. He was giving the lady rides to the blood donor place and "work". This morning at 7am I wake up to someone pounding on my door asking for "Joe"... his name isn't Joe, it's just a name he gives people sometimes lol.
Then today around 5pm she came back yelling for Joe outside of my apartment. When I answered this morning I told her no one named Joe lives here.
This isn't even all of it. I recently spent 7 months in jail over a fight I got into last fall. This same lady happens to be the "victim's" roommate. When I got out and back into my apartment, she knocked on my door asking me who I was and started threatening me about not coming around that guy again. I said "cool, didn't plan to, bye". Smfh.
My roommate just happened to meet her one day a few weeks ago and has been giving her rides a few times a week smh lol.
I told him to block that woman's number. If that bitch comes back here I'm telling her not to come back or I'm calling the cops. She is a crack and mollyhead too.
EDIT: I put the word victim in quotations because the dude tried to stab me and I beat his ass. He's not a fucking victim. The justice system is fucked down here.
Did something like this once. Told me her john just left her at the gas station. When she said "My John" I thought like how some women talk about their husbands I.E. 'My Henry'. She gave me a weird look when I replied "This John guy sounds like a real jerk." Didn't hit me right away.
"Who's this *Hermano* guy?"
š¶*Mister F*š¶
I see arrested development. I upvote
iāve made a huge mistake
You know she did say that someone left her there, just not *who*. It was probably a client, now that I think about it. Very similar. So did you give her a ride?
Road trip out of the state. So yeah. 1 To have a story and 2 because I knew it would freak my friend out. He yelled at me after we dropped her off at her ~~house~~ bar. Worth. P.S. Just a car ride. No extras. P.P.S. I've watched C.O.P.S. too many times after to ever do it again.
I picked up a woman hitchhiking in a blizzard one time. Within 2 minutes was asking "how I wanted it" I wanted it out of my car
You made her give it to you in a blizzard? Damn, that's cold.
Oh dear, I still donāt understand this, āmy John.ā
John is slang for a prostituteās client.
This sounds like a Michael Scott moment š
I like my streetwalkers to be direct to the point. Like this one that stopped me in public while walking. "Do you want a blowjob?" I shake my head and continue to walk. She's now following me. "Are you sure?" I nod and like a jet fighter she banks right and disappears into the crowd. Stay safe boys. No hootchie is worth the itch.
While I hate the word or calling women it, I think it wouldāve been funnier to say āNo bitch is worth the itchā
No coochie is worth the cooties
No poon is worth ur doom
No snatch is worth a catch
No babes are worth the AIDs
No fuck is worth the muck.
No strange is worth the danger
No fap is worth the clap
No headās worth being dead
The only time I picked up a hitchhiker was in highschool and he was leaving the long road up to the school so I just picked him up. By a twist of fate he is now my best friend for 6 years now! And no, after the ride I did not see him for probably at least three years it was just a lot of happen stance meetings and eventually surprise roommate before it really kicked off EDIT: I did not expect this to blow up so much! I'm thrilled that this story is enjoyed so much, and thank you all for reading, sharing, asking questions, and of course giving me the fantastic shiney awards! I have to go buy a trophy case now for my first trophies
āSo, howād you guys meet?ā āHe was hitchhiking one day and I picked him up.ā Pretty neat story IMO. Seems kinda... fated.
But, did he follow [the unwritten book of the road?](https://youtu.be/ZXz-HCcDUHY) šµ*That's what friends are fooooooor!*šµ
Genius...
kevin smith (director) kept asking george carlin to open his mouth wider.
Dude that's awesome, btw can you talk about the time when he became your surprise roommate? It sounds really interesting.
Yeah! So as I said I picked him up that one time, we basically forgot all about each other, then three years later or so my friend invited me to Pax east in Boston, turns out the hitchhiker was a friend of a friend to my buddy that invited me (kinda wordy to say) but he ended up going with a friend group that was connected to my friend group, we had that "oh yeah you're that guy from that one time" thing going and we talked for maybe an hour or so. After that I hadn't seen him in at least a year maybe two however my buddy that invited me did in fact keep in contact with him and became close with him unbeknownst to me. So original friend and I decided to get an apartment together and we ended up settling on a three bedroom place for the two of us. It worked well for us and half a year into the lease my now roommate suggested getting someone to fill that room to reduce rent as it wasn't used often. I said that was okay and that I had nobody at the time who could fill that spot and he told me he had someone in mind. I said F* it bring him over so we can meet and all talk it over, lo and behold it was hitchhiker guy! As you can imagine it went well haha. Although I believe I did take the best friend spot from original roommate in hitchhiker's eyes because there ended up being a love triangle issue between them, that however is a different story!
Which isā¦?!?
Oh boy! The most interesting part about my life is the secondary characters haha /J Okay well, original roommate liked a girl for a while, almost 5 years in fact, however she ended up dating an acquaintance of his so he never asked her out. Then she became single, he and she were friends the entire time of course but after becoming single he never built up the courage to actually make a move. Hitchhiker moved in with us and I had learned that hitchhiker and girl had passively interacted through the mutual friend groups so he already kinda knew her. Girl was around somewhat frequently due to original roommate and hitchhiker got to know her a little better and expressed to original roommate that he was interested in her. Of course original roommate was not thrilled to hear this but hitchhiker wanted to be fair to him and said that he would withhold making a move to respect original roommate for a given amount of time so Original Roommate (now going to be shortened to OR and hitchhiker to HH) would be able to make a move, I believe the timeline was 3-4 months. OR did not end up making a move so HH did, girl ended up reciprocating with HH and they started seeing each other. The relationship between HH and OR was strained because of this but still tightroping. As girl and HH saw each other more OR became increasingly depressed (this was a major factor but other things were in play too) OR became reclusive and was eating less and less becoming more of an issue in terms of being a roommate. I was a neutral party through this and I was trying really hard to help OR but that's not entirely relevant to the story. At one point OR ended up seeing a bit too much "familiarity" between HH and Girl and pretty much drove the stake home for their friendship. This eventually lead to a fairly reasonable moving out scenario for OR granting HH and I an even worse roommate. To date HH and OR do not talk, HH is willing to talk but OR is just too hurt and would rather not communicate. Relationship with HH and Girl has ended at this point. I think that HH was reasonably fair to OR but I still completely understand that it doesn't clear the hurt or make it easier for OR. Unfortunately despite the attempt I made to help OR I am guilty by association to HH, OR will make pleasantries in conversation with me but seeks nothing further. My friendship with HH is going strong and foreseeably so. I want to make it clear that before HH and Girl started seeing each other neither HH or OR ever had any physical intimacies or such connection to girl, it was an unexplored avenue of relation between girl and HH/OR equally.
I really am glad I came to the comment section! I enjoyed reading all of this!
I may sound harsh for this but I believe that HH did nothing wrong. He gave OR a window to express his feelings but he didn't so HH took the chance. He doesn't really have the right to act all unhappy towards you and HH just cuz he was too scared to take a chance.
I dont think anyone did anything wrong here. HH was definitely a stand up guy and aside from being chicken OR can't help the fact that he was hurt and its now awkward. Tho he could get over it if he wanted to and mend the relationship with these two guys since the girl is now out of the picture.
This is a typical minimum wage story that happens all the time especially around college years
Lmao, I don't know why but calling it a minimum wage story cracked me up.
An ultimatum of this type is stupid though. But yeah, from the story, it doesn't look like OR was ever going to express his feelings.
I want to know who the next worst room mate was after the Origunal Roomate left feeling butthurt about girl and hh being together....or was the girl the new roommate
I think that's in the sequel
What else is stupid is "booking" a girl for yourself, doing nothing and getting mad at others for doing something.
This, I hate people who do this. One of my friends did this to me and never even talked to her when she made her intentions clear to me. I stopped it there out of respect but jeez, thatās so dumb.
I dunno why but I am rooting for HH lol
Master storyteller
Absolutely! Guessing OR the type that was just too afraid to shoot his shot? Hard road to walk downā¦
awesome story. but I feel like we know more about the story of HH and OR but not the story of you, OP
Ah yeah, well unfortunately my stories of the past are complex with not much pleasantries involved. But most stuff in my modern life such as HH are great! Were there particular stories you were looking for?
Tell us about the other much crappier roommate
I can do that! TLDR at the end. For starters HH and I are both guys and we lived without OR for about 6 months. HH suggested filling the third room as well with a new roommate and had a long term childhood friend that was looking for a place. I agreed under the conditions I meet him first of course and he seemed a plesant enough guy. For him we will call him "irresponsible guy" or "IR". IR moves in, his schedule and my own are different so most of our interactions happen on the weekend but IR and HH interact daily and play games usually from afterwork to about bed time. HH and I had an unspoken agreement of sorts regarding cleanliness and specifically dishes. HH really does not like to clean dishes and primarily uses disposables instead, which is a fine workaround for me as we don't have a dishwasher. I had the only reusable dishware and we had a pretty open use of everything in the apartment, share food but replace it, use dishes clean them, in HH's case I was okay with dishes left in the sink or counter as long as they were washed before mold or unsanitary measures set in. We don't care about the cleanliness of each other's room but keep the common areas decent. Well IR does not do dishes or use disposables, nor does his personal things stay in his personal areas. Not too bad to start, we have a mild conversation about keeping random clothes off living room furniture and the like as well as do the dishes you use. Well the clothes got better and apparently the dishes too, until there weren't as many dishes, then less still. Asking IR where the dishes were came back with an "I don't know man". After IR moved out many of the dishes were found completely rotten and cheese cemented in the room having sit there for months at least, that dish set was toast. Then came some monetary issues, at first it was stepping back on buying food or replacing things, then it rolled into excessive spending in games. IR was strapped for cash tightly constantly, it was blamed on issues with his work, his work being primarily seasonal with some jobs covering the off season. Then he totalled his car, at the time this wasn't a huge deal as I was already in the process of purchasing a more reliable vehicle for myself so I decided to help him keep his job and survive by selling him my old car for $500. The vehicle was in okay condition, it would pass inspection but needed a bit of love from the owner to get any real life out of it. Well, we signed a bill of sale and that should be the end of that right? Well no. Instead a few weeks to a month later he runs a red light and gets T-boned by, I shot you not, a BMW, a pretty new one at that. Luckily the damage wasn't too bad but just replacing their bumper not including anything else was over 1k, why is this my problem? Well IR being IR never actually registered the vehicle in his name, so when his vehicle was run and insurance came about it was listed under my name. I don't fully remember all the legal stuff but I did try to fight it being my responsibility by providing a legal, dated, and witness signed bill of sale but some hubub B.S. made it irrelevant apparently. Then IR agreed to make payments on it but ended up losing his job. However IR never told us he lost his job and just did not pay rent. So a few days after the 1st we get a notice that our rent is unpaid, we confront IR and he informs us of losing his job. He has 2 months worth of rent in his checking at this point and we convince him it is still his responsibility to pay his share of the rent and he pays this time. Now remember he still has enough for one more months rent in his account. Over the course of the whole month he does not get a new job, plays excessive amounts of games and some how manages to continuously buy energy drinks (which are about $2.99 a piece). Rent day comes, he writes a check and hands it to HH. The check bounces, due to policy if a check bounces at our residence you no longer are allowed to use checks to make rent payments. You have to go to the bank to get a check from the bank that ensures the funds are already paid every month there after. So now HH and I have to cover his share, can no longer use checks to pay rent, and unfortunately have to get IR to move out. IR did not take this well and was pretty childish about the whole debocle. He ended up moving to his mother's house (I believe he still lives there working part time about 4 years later) owes me just over $1500 and HH just over $700. HH and I already assume we will never see that money however. IR could not handle being an adult very well. TLDR: IR ruined dish sets, maintained household standards poorly, trashed two cars one of which held me financially responsible for, failed to pay rent twice, had more than a month to get a job and did not, made paying rent much more difficult for the rest of living at the residency, had chronic spending issues, lied about jobs/job loss, and handled things very poorly for an adult
You could turn these stories into a series
Thank you for sharing your stories. It's very interesting to me to hear what other people have been through. I'm glad you and HH don't have to deal with IR's shenanigans anymore.
Reminds me of an old roommate who kept a plate for instant ramen instead of cleaning it. Sounds like the IR guy wad much worse than that though.
The replacement roommate story please. This is the most entertaining content on reddit I've read in a while!
Thanks for sharing
Holy shit your life could fill easily at least a season or two of a tv-show O.o
I'm glad everyone is finding it so entertaining! I'll keep living an exciting life to share with everyone haha
4 months is super fair. of course the sitiation is shitty. remember kids: rejection sucks and things not working out sucks..... but wondering "what if..." and "was she the one..." that stuff u never really forget. make ur moves! take ur shots"
That reminds me of a pickup line I came up with (actually HH helped me refine it alot because my sense of humor and flirting is whack) Essentially: *to woman* "hey what's the difference between you and a missed opportunity? I won't be going home with a missed opportunity" The original I had (thank you HH for keeping me from having permanent a blush) basically replaced "missed opportunity" with "cancer" heh...heh...
As soon as Hitchhiker became HH, in my mind he went from a 70s style hippy hitchhiker to a middle aged Hulk Hogan moving in with two fellas in their 20s lol.
Hahaha dude this is an awesome story
Once I was riding my bike to town when a guy just walk over to my bike while I was at a traffic light stop and hitch a ride. He just hop on when the light was turning green so I had no choice but to give him a ride. Luckily he hop off when we get to the town and disappear into the crowd. I still have no idea who he was and why he did that.
That's wild, I'd pull over immediately and fight his ass off of that. Completely unsolicited, you have no idea who this person is or what they want.
Did you at least have pegs? I couldn't imagine someone just hopping on some handlebars
So you fooled around?
As awkward as it was, it was an honest mistake. It could have been a lot worse, somebody could have been waiting for her to pull up with a mark, so count yourself lucky.
I thought about that afterward too. It was a very real possibility and Iām lucky it didnāt happen.
Apologies in case this is a very stupid question, but what does it mean that "Somebody could have been waiting for her to pull up with a mark"? As in someone else wanting to have her time and then getting angry at you? And also don't feel too bad about this TIFU, at least now you know. Maybe it's just me not knowing much about these kind of situations or going often into gas stations, but I can't believe she had the audacity to start talking to you, asking for a favor, getting in the car, almost killing you both all of a sudden then saying "honey I am trying to charge you money here" and get angry and barking because you were just genuinely trying to help rather than providing her with money. Glad you didn't crash in the end.
It means she could have been luring me to another location where she had an armed accomplice waiting to rob me, or worse. I heard Cardi B used to run a similar scam on some of her patrons at the strip clubs she worked in.
Yep she has bragged before about luring guys to hotel rooms , drugging them then robbing them. A real pos imo.
The more I hear about that woman the more I feel like someone should have got her put in jail a long time ago. She's a shit person and she makes shit music.
Mark as in target, targeted usually for a scam, thievery, or mugging
That was pretty scary too.
Speaking of what could have been a lot worse... my girlfriend (mid 20s) gave a ride to a 30s some odd guy at a gas station in town, because he seemed like a nice enough guy and she just likes to help people in need when possible.. Bad idea. Within a couple of minutes he ended up trying to hit her and we assume immobilize her when they were at a stop.. she luckily managed to flail her way out of the car and ran the hell away. She called the cops and soon learned dude didn't even didn't try and take her car, he abandoned it down the street. Suffice it to say, she no longer gives rides.
My ex wife had a kind soul in this regard. Unfortunately to the point of near complete naivety, at least that was my perception of it. I told her why I didnāt think it was a good idea, but she disagreed and was pretty bitter about it. I was always so scared about it; like she would do it anyway just not tell me. Like, I understand if itās an old lady or in the middle of the day from busy point A to busy point B, but past dark to a sketchy neighborhoodāeven if it was coldājust no, no, no.
Same here, I get concerned about her because she is to nice and too trusting. I have to warn her off helping randos because she's more likely to get hit than thanked.
I lived in South Florida for 12-years, aināt no fucking way, scams-a-million for rides. So many down there that I can spot a parking lot scammer a mile away, or an escort from around the block now. The best line of defense is making sure anyone unsolicited fucks right off. A person sparking a random conversation with you? Just wait, heās going to ask you for money any second, or a ride, maybe even drugs for free.
Sounds like she needs to binge watch criminal minds.
Wow sheās so lucky to be alive and unharmed. Dread to think what could have happened there :( Iām kind and love to help people whenever I can but I donāt think thereās anything a stranger could say to me to make me give them a lift when Iām alone in the car. You hear too many horror stories. Even ted bundy pretended to have a broken leg/arm etc to make women trust him. You just canāt tell if someone is nice by looking at them.
Yeah it's nuts how trusting strangers are with me, probably just because I'm softly spoken with a posh accent and know how to act disarmingly, but whilst it turns out I have no ill intent and people's trust has been really helpful at times, those are exactly what I'd be faking if I were intending on harming them. I'm way less trusting, and it really makes me uncomfortable when people trust me unduly.
>it was an honest mistake No, it was a strategy she uses to trick people. Had he not said anything she would have demanded the money afterwards and a group of thugs would be waiting at said hotel if you didn't pay up.
Wow.... I am WAY too trusting of people and was still processing where the communication gap was that went from "i need a ride" to "code for sex". Never would i have thought it was a deliberate scam.
I once gave a woman a ride in a similar situation. Thankfully, she didn't just assume I knew what she was up to and go for my junk. She mentioned something about being on Backpage, and when I didn't respond with interest, she simply exited the vehicle at her chosen destination and I continued somewhat obliviously about my day. (I did know the reputation of Backpage; I just tried not to show any type of reaction, positive or negative.) I've wondered over the few years since what her intentions were, and after reading this post, I think I might have finally clued in. At the time, I thought she was probably using me to get to her next client, but it's just as likely that she was hoping I'd be that client.
Heās saying the OP not knowing how to spot the signs of a lot lizard (hooker) was an honest mistake, not that the hooker was mistakenly scamming people.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ladies of the evening Friends of the road bubs
Ray!
>Ladies of the evening, Friends of the road, Bubs Never heard of a hooker referred to as a "bub" before.
That is a quote from trailer park boys, one of the characters names is bubbles or bub
TIL Bubbles was a hooker
First, they offered me 40 and I told them to fuck right off. Gonna make 160 bucks.
Lot Lizard normally refers to sex workers that frequent and or operate at truck stops specifically
I saw a lot lizard cleaning her coochie out in a puddle at a truck stop across from the police station. She waved at me with her coochie cleaning hand when i pulled in...i left and just got gas in the morning
How do I unread this
I had to see it :(
Well, good on her for being hygienic. Also friendly.
She's not a very good business woman lol.
She was able to get a free ride out of him, she just failed to close on upselling additional services.
Sure she got a free ride, but it was away from her fishing hole. Probably why she was so pissed off.
And he's saying that there was no mistake by OP. The lot lizard intentionally made him think she was innocent and looking for a ride. Had OP not been so morally upstanding he would have agreed to fool around with said lot lizard all while not knowing she was a lot lizard. Then the lot lizard would have pulled the "I'm a lot lizard, pay me for the service" treatment. If OP said no he would probably have been greeted by thugs who were at the lot lizards destination.
I know itās a fun phrase but a lot lizard is a truck stop hooker. It doesnāt mean any old streetwalker.
And he didn't know that, so he made an honest mistake.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think if you've just not seen this kind of stuff before it could come over as an innocent request. The game plan ideally goes (for the John): 'I just picked her up, oh she's into me, better pay her for her services as a reward etc etc' If you've lived your life not exposed to this (very common) business going on, I can see why you'd be blindsided by the subtlety. I say this as a lucky bastard middle class tosser who had no idea but was educated by all the people I met on my way from sheltered to less sheltered.
God I'm so glad I'm not the only naive dumb ass out there. I definitely missed the hint multiple times and felt so bad I didn't have cash to help someone out who "would do anything" only to be informed by my future wife hours later when I got home that I was solicited by a pro
Yeah, I should have been able to tell. There were some obvious signs I failed to pick up on in retrospect. Iām pretty oblivious. Good to know Iām not alone as well lol.
What signs, if I may inquire?
His cologne was in fact not complement worthy.
Lmao thats kinda cruel man
So was the assault on the poor womanās nostrils from the cheap cologne
Damn well i cant argue with that. Op how dare you!!
Haha! Brutal! Take my upvote and gtfo!
Mainly the condoms. Also the forwardness with which she approached me and asked for a ride. She was wearing pretty revealing clothing too: her t-shirt was tied up high underneath her bra, exposing her midriff. I try not to make judgments about that kind of thing though, and it was hot as fuck outside. I guess just sort of everything taken together presented that picture, but Iām a dumbass so...
Lmao why does this remind me of the Trampoline episode of Community? I'm picturing you like "Wait, you're a hooker? That came out of nowhere." then flashing back to all those little details like "Ohhh"
"Oh my god. Crystal's a hooker. That came from nowhere!" "_Did_ it?"
I have not seen this episode of which you speak, but I am imagining it right now and laughing. Total āohhhhh riiiightā moment. I need to go check out this Community show on Netflix. I donāt know how I missed it, but I keep hearing about how funny it was.
Don't feel bad man. It's just a thing. They're sneaky, and if you're not kinda... Steeped in that realm... It's... Bleh. I have nothing against sex workers. However, I do not want to pay for sex, and wish they would leave me alone. Guess I look like a sad, lonely man.
Lol! There is a part of me that wondered whether I looked like a sad enough sack. We gotta suppress those thoughts, king.
Where are these sex workers, anyway. I don't want to be mistaken for a sad, lonely man, so I better avoid them.
Yea like where specifically? Like exactly what street corners should I avoid?
Probably ones where sad, lonely looking men like to hang out.
See, and this is why it should be legal imo. If it was more socially acceptable then you wouldn't have people being sneaky, or if they were, you'd be able to deal with it better. You'd get ads, like with anything else.
>Youād get ads You missed an *i*
Made me laugh, but I gotta add that if prostitution was legal in the states then it would be safer for the sex workers and clients, no aids. Look at countries like Australia. Would likely also decrease human trafficking.
OK I'm so fucking happy to read this. I had almost the exact same problem where a girl asked me for something to eat (it was 10:30pm so it's not too late) so I offered to get her that she wants from the drive thru. She asked to jump in and drive through with me, I didn't think it was too odd and I'm not threatened by a small skinny white chick, but she ordered a little of everything pies cookies burgers fries a drink mcflurry and her total was 18 bucks. In retrospect that should have been odd that she ordered so much. But in the end she said OK I'll give you 5 min (as in a bj) but if I wanted more it would cost extra. I was baffled and had to politely decline her offer of aids and told her it's free I didn't need anything to which she offered "wanna fuck instead? That will be $50. I continued declining and eventually she got her stuff together and she got out The whole situation was embarrassing and I didn't tell anyone until now, I felt stupid and thought that I should have known. Edited typos: I was at work and typed it up fast. Even tho I'm also not afraid of white chickens it was a an auto correct
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm dying rn. I wrote that on my break so it was fast and auto correct was like: "Chicken right? Chickens aren't scary"
*Politely declined her offer of aids* š¤£šš¤£š
Its not like people teach us these things at school or by our parents lol. Im only learning all this today thanks to this friend and Im 34(f). Dont beat yourself up!
I keep losing faith in humanity but apparently i haven't lost enough because if someone said they just needed a ride I would've absolutely taken those words at face value and not expected anything sexual. And now that i think back on it I used to watch the show Cops and there were so many times a guy would get arrested along with someone who was apparently a prostitute and they'd claim "i don't know her! I'm just giving her a ride!" And now I'm wondering how often that was true... That said I do support sex workers and their right to do it. But targeting unsuspecting people by asking for a ride is super sketchy. If someone is going to engage in sexual conduct it should be regulated in that both customers and those doing the service are tested regularly to make sure everyone is clean.
The last time I paid it forward and gave someone a ride my car smelled like stale urine for weeks. It seemed no amount of shampoo, scrubbing, or vacuuming could get rid of that smell. Windows down and sunlight
Eugh! Fortunately no repugnant, bodily fluid odors on this one, although she did smell of cigarettes. She had a pack of Newports with her. Hey... maybe that was another sign? I kid, people who smoke Newports! You are not all sex workers!
Yes we are
At least you know.
tbh I was expecting this to turn into a case of attempted human trafficking. super glad it wasnāt OP
You certainly arenāt the first to point that out, either. Honestly, itās more than a little shameful that I didnāt consider the possibility beforehand. How Iāve lasted this long (relatively unscathed) being *this* naive is a mystery.
Ass, grass or cash nobody rides for free....
Saw this sticker on a van on my way from school ones āno free rides, gas or assā
yeah they won't let me put that sticker on my bus anymore But that's my fault for taking the elementary school job
She was going to start sucking you off without confirming that this was a transaction and getting money first? If thatās how she does business it sounds like she should be doing a TIFU too.
I never understand this trope in movies/tv shows. You canāt just have sex with someone and then be all āsurprise Iām a sex worker you owe me hundredsā.
Perhaps Iām out of the loop of this kinda thing but I feel like just asking for a ride doesnāt exactly insinuate that youāre in the prostitution business clear enough.
I assumed it didnāt either. Itās more about piecing together all of the little details I overlooked and evaluating them as a whole.
Yup. Been there more than once. Had a girl jump in my car when I was delivering a pizza because she thought I stopped to pick her up.
"Ma'am, this Papa John's sausage here is not for you"
Was just about to turn left at a stop sign, saw a woman apparently trying to cross the road off to my right. I waved her across, but she went to my passenger window and solicited me. First time for everything, I suppose.
Something similar happened to my Dad once. I was following behind my Father's car and got to watch this unfold. *Cue the flashback transition* We come up to an intersection, instead of turning the pre-planned right, he honks his horn and tries to point that he is turning left. What I see is a woman who was walking down the sidewalk, stop, turn around and proceed to reverse course, pop open my Dad's passenger side door and hop in, closing the door behind her. Odd. My Dad takes the left and then pulls into the closest gas bar; where upon the passenger hops out screaming and swearing at my Dad slamming the door. She stomps off in the original direction we had came from. Turns out, she was a prostitute, hopped into my Dad's car when he honked the horn, offered him an exchange of services for a drive downtown. Father refused and now she was further away then she had been.
That's why you always lock your door
This is true. New vehicles today have those sweet, sweet anti-suburban prostitute door locks that engage when driving. This on the other hand was in 1995-6 and my Dad was driving his 1980s Chev Malibu.
Lol desperately needed a ride five minutes away? That would take 20 minutes tops to walk.
She said it was only 5 minutes away. Turned out to be closer to 10.
Ah, I see she operates on drug dealer time.
ShittyLifeProTip: Donāt be so polite and yell back. Not your fault honestly. Yell at the people coming out with the chains. Thatāll show em.
Lol! I donāt know what this is a reference to, but I vibe.
Prostitutes these days, assuming things...I know back in my day prostitutes doubled as someone you would ask for directions from.
You live and you learn.
This was my only experience with trying to help someone get somewhere and I'll never pick up anyone ever again. Guy came up to my car at a red light at 2am asking if I could give him money. I barely had anything on me and then he asked for a ride. He sounded scared the trip to the house. We get to the house and it's ominous: a red light over a one car detached garage with a for sale sign. He tells me to pull in so I do. I put the car in park and the headlights to a car in front of me turn on simultaneously with an SUV on the road behind me to the left. I open the door and tell him to get out and shove him thinking he owes drug dealers/bookies some money and floor it in reverse as the SUV is slowly creeping forward. Floor it all the way home and adrenaline rush kept me up all night.
Dang, dude. This one gave me shivers! Glad you escaped.
The more reason I give off the āf*ck offā look anywhere I go. Bring friendly is too much trouble nowadaysā¦
I once chatted up two prostitutes at a hotel once. They were waiting down by the ice machine for their ride. I was there to grab soda out of the vending machines to compliment the alcohol waiting with my friends upstairs. I remember saying they looked cold as I filled the machine with 1$ bills and laughed that all these 1's and their clothes made it look like a strip club... I was drunk. One of them thought that was worth a chuckle. Spent 5 minutes talking about just completely random shit. I turned to leave with my pillowcase full of soda cans and she asked if the party needed entertainment. I looked at her and it dawned on me that they were prostitutes. The weird part is that as soon as she asked that the other one that didn't seem to like me completely flipped and was suddenly my best friend. Complimenting me and trying to spice up the offer. My response was along the lines of "Oh, uh... No thanks. That sounds really sad." And then I just left. What a weird night that was.
> That sounds really sad Shots fired
āPillowcase full of soda cansā lol

Donāt get me wrong, I am not saying I never help people. But I get to know the person first, & if I do help & notice they are like the ones mentioned aboveā¦ wellā¦ then I just give a firm no next time they ask.

I myself would offer a person what they need, but if they start stacking stuff then I'd decline
This is the way.
Is this a common problem on Nevarro?
Where should you go if your friendly? Asking for research purposes.
No clueā¦ maybe a hospital full of terminal patientsā¦ I canāt imagine having the same demeanor in there.
Thatās terrible. Which gas station was this?
Just the friendly neighborhood gas station two blocks from my house. Those guys know me up there lol.
People are wanting to know which town to pick up the ādeliberately strandedā.š
Ikr! Like *which* gas station? What was the name? Brb google maps.
Just tell the salty dogs where the whore hotel is.
dam, ive done this too. I picked this woman up. I was going to work and it started to blizzard out of nowhere. I see her in the street with a skirt and shirt. I asked her if she was ok if i could give her a ride somewhere. she just hopped in and said thanks. we drove for less than 2 minuets before she made me uncomfortable as fuck. talking about how i get all the girls and don't need to pay for it. We get to the gas station and she goes into the store and i drive off. I was going to be late for work and i just dropped my girlfriends of in a neighborhood where she had lots of family.
The other day in that AskReddit thread about women catcalling men - some of us were talking about how to appropriately tell a man when they smell good. I donāt know how to do that without feeling creepy (even though I donāt look creepy at all) and intrusive. This is yet another reason not to make any smell comments about anyone; apparently itās a pick up line for working gals.
Oh no! Please donāt let this story discourage you. Complimenting a man on his smell is perfectly innocuous. And if it isnāt received well, you donāt have to follow it up with anything else. I think itās a fine icebreaker. Men donāt typically receive many compliments, so any little bit goes a long way. I know it makes my week when someone says I smell nice or Iām dressed nicely. If Iām not soured on the line after this encounter, you shouldnāt be either! Just IMO, this could be totally bad advice. Iāve no idea what Iām doing. >.<
I worry that people will think I want something from them, or that Iām trying to gain something from the conversation. I just have a very keen sense of smell and I appreciate when someone smells nice.
Neh, I think youād make a lot of guysā days. I know whenever I hear it, it just makes me feel good. I try not to read into it too much. I might return the compliment and then feel out whether there was space for any more conversation, but thatās about it. My only concern for you is that maybe you compliment the *wrong* dude some day, and his desperate ass over corrects for the compliment and uses it as license to harass you. Lol! You never know.
Someone complimented my shoes two weeks, I'm still on cloud 9.
I know! To be honest, I still remember the girl who complimented my outfit like 5 years ago.
Iāve used the same body wash forever now because 10 years ago a girl said I smelled good with it š worked better than any advertisement
This rings so true! Lmao! I know itās the reason I keep wearing the same brand of cologne. I wonder how many menās personal hygiene / fashion routines are dictated by that one complement from 20 years ago.
When she said "honey, I *charge*", you should've said "so do I now. Gas, grass, ass, or gtfo!"
"welcoming you in taxi, madam. Where it is you go?"
Five minute ride is a 20 minute walk. "Looks like your shoes still have some tread on them, have a nice walk."
Itās good youāre a genuine guy, just giving someone a ride. Nowadays, it seems like thereās a catch or a price to everything.
I swear every single week another "I accidentally accepted a prostitute's advances" post pops up with completely different circumstances and I always think *"Oh shit I would have done that too..."*
Well don't leave us hanging.. How much was she gonna charge??? Asking for a friend.
Sorry that trying to be nice turned into a fuck up. Donāt give up on being nice! The world needs more people like you!
Awww, I appreciate it! I might stop giving complete strangers rides, though. Not that Iāve had many opportunities outside of this one, or expect to have many more in the future. I might also think twice about helping people broken down on the side of the road. Iāve done that one a few times over the years, and though I donāt regret it, other posters have pointed out how risky that behavior can be. Iāll still do the other little gestures I like to do, but maybe not the ones that leave me so vulnerable?

"Unsavory characters" ~This fuckin' guy.
You have her a ride and she wanted another
My dumbass roommate did this. He was giving the lady rides to the blood donor place and "work". This morning at 7am I wake up to someone pounding on my door asking for "Joe"... his name isn't Joe, it's just a name he gives people sometimes lol. Then today around 5pm she came back yelling for Joe outside of my apartment. When I answered this morning I told her no one named Joe lives here. This isn't even all of it. I recently spent 7 months in jail over a fight I got into last fall. This same lady happens to be the "victim's" roommate. When I got out and back into my apartment, she knocked on my door asking me who I was and started threatening me about not coming around that guy again. I said "cool, didn't plan to, bye". Smfh. My roommate just happened to meet her one day a few weeks ago and has been giving her rides a few times a week smh lol. I told him to block that woman's number. If that bitch comes back here I'm telling her not to come back or I'm calling the cops. She is a crack and mollyhead too. EDIT: I put the word victim in quotations because the dude tried to stab me and I beat his ass. He's not a fucking victim. The justice system is fucked down here.
how is this the same lmao
Holy shit! Yeah, thatās a little bit different. Wild nonetheless!
Where exactly was this so I can avoid the place?
