The post whore thread.

I LOVE people thinking I'm poor, especially if I'm making a big purchase.

One time we took the dog for a walk to a grocery store. I stood outside with the dog while family picked some things up. I wasn't dressed to the T's so to speak. I really enjoyed watching people cutting a wide swath around me and was hoping someone would give me a dollar. If you walk (or ride your bike somewhere) people just automatically assume you're poor.

I must look lost and confused when I am waiting outside an establishment for someone to finish shopping inside.

People will approach me and ask if looking for something, need directions, need assistance, etc.

Primary reason I typically wear "Danger, I eat puppies and children" look, as Mrs bo calls it.

That's the worst when people who would usually ignore you suddenly have the need to "help" you do something other than what you are doing. Reminds me of the time I was exercising outside my apartment when a lady came outside and asked if I needed help while I was doing push-ups. She actually said to me, "why aren't you inside watching the Olympics like every one else?"

I never get approached. I have a response I’ve NEVER been able to use: “have you not heard the prophecy?”

My main goal is to use it on a cashier when buying an odd assortment of items.

You mean like the glass chip repair guy at the car wash when you just want to wash your car?

I mean seriously dude, get the FUCK away from me and my car.

That's like the old[er] lady who came up to me, all bundled up in winter gear last week when it was 65 and rainy. Young man you should have some warmer clothes on in this weather. Thanks, but i'm from CO, Oh, then never mind

Or the car or any sales person working on commission after telling them. No thanks we're just looking, continue to hound you. Hey Pal. IF we wanted assistance you don't think i'd ask for it.

A lot of that down here as well. I'm pretty cold tolerant, but going from 95 to 65 in a few days and I toss on a hoodie.

That would be like going from a small burn to jumping in a political bonfire. Beautiful country, though.
