12. How many times have you bought boxes of rocks thinking they were laptops?
Ha! I think it's only happened twice, but they never actually contained rocks
Once there was a guy supposedly selling "hot" laptops from a parking lot, so I went with him to try it out but we couldnt find an outlet. In the end, his story sounded pretty good (friend works at FutureShop, stole some off the shipment) so the allure of a $200 laptop (he wanted 400-500 but I offered 200) was too good to pass up. When I got upstairs and unwrapped the layers of ceran wrap form th ebox, it was stuffed with ripped newspaper - heavy like a laptop though
I couldn't find that guy anywhere around after that.
The second time, a guy actually had us drive to (supposedly) his apartment complex. I went in with him, and he said he'd go up and get it. He came back down and said his uncle won't let him take it without seeing cash first; now he wanted the full amount but I refused, so he went back up empty-handed. He came back down saying how about $100, I countered with $40. He went back up and vanished. I stormed the halls of that building but never found him
