I'll kick it off...

Years ago I got a traffic ticket...dont even remember what it was for now, but I didn't believe I was in the wrong and therefore wasn't gon pay it. But I didnt wana get in further trouble by having this outstanding ticket on my record, so my other option was to volunteer somewhere and work the ticket off.

Idr how many hrs I had to do but i volunteered at a thrift store. I wasn't allowed to buy shit while I was "working" which didnt bother me cuz they never had anything I wanted anyway. But the last day I worked there I was in the purse/wallet section and they had this fly ass Gucci wallet they had just added to the section. They had a couple others but this was one looked like it had never been used...it still had the paper and shit inside it and they were only selling it for $10. I was bout to hide that bitch so I could buy it when I got off and soon as i looked over i saw this family looking for school clothes for the kids...you could tell all their shit was hand me down and thrifted.

It hurt me, but I had to leave that wallet there lol. Especially when I googled the model of the wallet after I left and I saw that ho being sold for like 650 online.
I was crushed lol. But it's not for me to take advantage of a place that's for the less fortunate when I was doing fine.

That was just in general not for the family. I'd see hipsters going in there tryna get thrifted furniture and housewares and shit, but for the most part it was low income people shopping for what they wanted and needed. I said to myself if the wallet is still there at the end of the shift, I'll buy it. If not, somebody with way less than me was gon get their chance to stunt and feel fly with something nice and I wasn't gonna be the asshole to take that away.

I would have copped that shit asap lol
Dont let people fool you, there are people who are habitual thrifters and be stacked!

thrift stores are a rip off lol
 
Aww man. Sadly, this is every day for me. I think Iā€™m getting crazier the older I get.
 
i used to stay hiding shit in walmart when i was a kid thinking i was gonna come back and buy it later

this was before i realized they did the callbacks or whatever they call it when they put shit from wrong places in stores in their correct places

i was wondering how they always found it when i did go back to get it
 
Did you at least put them on game? Let them know they could buy it for 10 and sell it for 600?

If not then nobody won that day.

But it was a good thing you did. Props.
 
everytime i punched someone and they fell, i never stomped them..

i always let them get back up and let them know i just showed them mercy.....
 
My sister had spoken with my kids mom about her kids coming down south for the summer. My sister had 3 boys, they were supposed to stay with our aunt when we were at work, and stay at my house on the weekend. We agree to that and my mothers mother was going to bring them down south.

So the day come when I'm supposed to get the boys. I go over the my aunts home and my cousins two sons from up north was there too. I didn't really pay them no mind until my aunt says, kids grab ya stuff. They start getting their stuff too, my grandma says you ready for them.

I point at my nephews and said :hedidit:I came for them.


They said you ain't taking ya cousins kids,I point at my nephews again and I said

:hedidit:I came for them.

It pissed me off cause my sister humbled herself enough to ask for our assistance in being with the kids for the weekend over this period they would be down south. But my cousin felt like she didn't even have to speak to me about it. I thought that was mad disrespectful. You know that I wouldn't say no anyway, so you felt like it was beneath you to even speak on it. I didn't like that, so I was gonna be cold blooded to them kids.

So we get in the car and my nephews are sad, and almost kinda crying. This was a younger me so my heart was kinda cold, so I didn't care. I get to the house and my kids mom ask them why they were sad, and they told her. She was like

:niggawhat:yo..what the fuck is wrong wit u?

I said :js4:didn't nobody call me bout them.

But the kids were sad and my kids mom was upset..

So I was like
:mybad:
Aight..let's go get them..in retrospect, that was a dick move. They didn't do nothing to me.

i liked how this nigga Germs just casually mentioned he's divorced
 
Man this was probably me at my lowest.

A lil background. I was 21, living on my own and put all my money in opening a hobby store in Newport Center Mall in Jersey (shout out Jersey City). In retrospect, that was a dumb move. Jersey City is one of the grimiest places on earth and Newport Center was averaging lile 2 shootings a month. I saw a person get shot right in front of me waiting on line to get Jordans months before I opened the store, so I should have known better.

So anyway, I put all my money in opening the store, between design and inventory, im tapped out. Im thinking ill start making it back right away.

Few months in, I aint make shit back. Credit cards maxed out, I borrowed money from everyone, my store rent is passed due, house rent passed due. Im beyond stressed.

A few days before Black Friday, this old lady walked in to buy something. She musta been in her 70s or close. She had this crazy fur coat on. She pulled her wallet out her purse and opened it and it was this huge stack of hundreds. She must have had a few gs on her.

Man the devil told me to rob her. So I told my boy who was working for me to watch the store. I started following her. It must have been more than hour but she finally left the mall and walked to the parking lot.

My plan was as soon as shes away from the cameras, im gonna run her down, knock her out with 1 swing, grab her purse and run.

Then what I was about to do finally hit me. Man I got so disgusted with myself. I turned around and walked back in the mall, went to my store, told my boy I was gonna be in the back and to call me if it got busy.

It took everything I had not to break down crying and I am far as you can be from a cryer.

Its crazy sad what rock bottom and desperation can have a person do. Thats why I try not to judge when I hear about people comitting crimes. I almost crossed that line myself.
