[LOCKED]WTF

They do that at the Target close to my house.

But there are a lot of homeless people in that area.

My other WTF retail store experience within the past week...

WTF- since when do they lock up underwear?

I hadn't been in a WalMart for a year, maybe more. I stopped in the one next to a home improvement store to see if I could get the same brand light bulbs cheaper than the home improvement store. (Yes.) The only time I've ever seen underbritches under key.

I also noticed a full time security guy driving the parking lot in a PU and a trailer mounted security camera in the lot.

Welcome to WalMart!

At least you didn't find it in the kids aisle

So, I picked up a prescription at Target (CVS) yesterday, I walked past a Clearance end cap and...

WTF? Target carries "adult" toys?

There was a male masturbator, kind of like a Fleshlight on the clearance shelf. I don't recall the name but the box was obviously opened and it said "for penis play".

Target Circle Jerk members might even get another discount if they use the Red Card.

We get those every so often , or a guy with sunglasses sitting around . And all he says is hey . We have actually got bored with the lifestyle so many posers and just wastes of time . Last week we had a dinner with one of the house party groups . The couple who started the groups husband had passed away . One of the people attending used to own the biggest and best on premises club in Houston . We were joking how the LS has changed and it really has. .
We never go to clubs domestically , to us they are too loud and too cliquish . We always visit the Euro. Clubs.

Todays WTF Awards go to : 2 Single Guys.. First one , chest shot in bathroom mirror "Hey" Second one " Hey whats up, I can make her happy"

Yes folks you can NOT make this crap up!!!!

2 more on the BLOCK list!

I'm not really as dumb as I present myself in here (don't ask Mrs. G though). I could probably figure out putting Bitchcoin in a wallet.

Now I know who sent the email.

:-D

I only accept Shitcoin.

GOODENUFF

If you are having trouble with the bitcoin part, I can drive up and collect in person.

The horology/whoreology joke is one of the few bits in the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie that actually is funny.

So, you're saying that smart scammers talk stupid?

If the same is true for Forum participants, some people are geniuses.

Who'dathunk?

"But... there might be someone, somewhere who could fall for it"

There was an interesting hypothesis I saw once that said scam emails and texts that are terribly written are so by design. They are designed to generate hits from only the most gullible, thus preventing wasting the scammer's time on marks that don't go anywhere.

"But... there might be someone, somewhere who could fall for it."

Yeah. I don't want to give too many details, because it's not my story, but about 10 years ago a well respected member of my wider community got a more grammatically structured demand than this to be paid or videos of his masturbation to porn and the list of all his porn would be shared to his (something like 2000 person) contact list.

He sent his own email confessing his sins, including what porn he'd been watching, and expressing his deep shame.

It was awful for him, but also for those of us who had gotten similar messages and shoved them into junk mail folders. I mean, I laughed when I got mine earlier that year, because I thought it was only slightly less transparently a scam than the Nigerian prince, but I also had never downloaded or even watched porn on my laptop, so I had some guilt about not giving any kind of warning.

And here I thought it was something new. :-)

Some forum participants have stated they had received similar "blackmail" messages from people on this site after they opened their pictures up to them. That isn't funny. A random message from someone stating something that can't possibly be true is hilarious. But... there might be someone, somewhere who could fall for it.

Goodeneeff we have received this type of email several times in the past and just ignore them. One time I text back that things were slow and to post them as we could use the free advertisement.

I about died laughing with this in my business email box yesterday:

"There is an overdue payment under your name 135-5425

In case you didn't get last email. Pay attention now.
You have used video call recently. And I have very unfortunate news for you.
I'll give you some background on what happened.

There was a zero day security vulnerability on your videocall app, that allowed me a full time access to your camera and some other metadata on your account.
Basically, you were hacked.
And as you can imagine in your worst dreams, I have made a footage with you as a main actor.
Where you work on yourself (perform sex act to be clear). Having fun is ok with me, but is not ok with your reputation.

Please dont blame me or yourself for this. You couldn't know that the camera was working.
I'm sure you don't want to be the next Jeffrey Toobin and get embarrassed in front of all your friends, family and colleagues.
You should get this very clear, I will send this video to all your contacts if I dont get paid.
Are you wondering how I got your contacts and emails? Through the same exploit, application allowed me to extract all sensitive info from your device.
So here is what we will do. You pay me in bitcoin, and nothing of this will happen. You have 3 days to make the payment.
After I get the money, I will delete the footage and information about you. The amount is not negotiable.
Send $750 USD in bitcoin to my wallet 132duBMZcHEWygULL3Hovf6dxnsBZXaJpz
Having trouble with buying bitcoin? Just google on how to buy it, it's very easy to use and anonymous.
P.S. Don't try to report this to the police, I use TOR and bitcoin can't be traced. Do not email me back. If you do something stupid, I will distribute the video.
Good luck. Don't stress."

I've never video called anyone in my life. I placed a piece of tape over the camera on my laptop the day I bought it because I had no intention of ever using it and I had heard about people hacking into cameras. My PC doesn't have a camera on it. My cell phone is in a case on my belt if it isn't in the charger in the kitchen- behind the microwave.

Fugging scammers, and no, I didn't get his (her?) last email in any either my business or personal email.

I'm on call 24/365 so my phone is always on me or next to me. I have a app that tracks steps taken, miles walked etc so no need for a smart watch.

I no longer have a personal laptop. I have a work one that I only do work on and everything thing else is done on my phone including typing this.

Whoreology… not a word.

Whoreology… definitely should be a word

I was thinking that if it was "hourology" I might have gotten it, but otherwise I was wondering if he dropped the "w" at the beginning ;-)

"I'm getting into horology as one of my hobbies, building watches."

I'm glad you defined what horology is. I would have guess it had something to do with horoscopes.

" , I'm getting into horology as one of my hobbies "

Forgive my ignorance, but I assume that is different than whoreology, right?

We only have one cell phone that we share so a home phone is essential for those occasions when someone is home alone. I wish we had a real landline (POTS) instead of a home phone as part of our Spectrum Internet package. We have lousy cell coverage and a metal roof so we put our cell phone in Airplane mode and use WiFi calling when at home. The last time we lost power we found out that the battery backup for the router was dead - having to go outside on a dark, rainy night to be able to call and report the power outage was no fun.

"Why would you need a watch to tell time when the time is in your phone?"

For me, at least, a watch isn't just a functional item, it's also rather like men's jewelry. I have several watches that I wear depending on my activity. A digital sports watch for work in the shop and hiking; a Seiko field watch for nights out; a chronograph for casual weekends etc. Plus, I'm getting into horology as one of my hobbies, building watches. I have all the makings for a really beautiful dress watch that I'm starting work on.

"However if I can’t find my phone it does me no good."

My partner and I both have ADHD. He was always losing things, so I got him tiles with trackers for everything he was inclined to misplace. Of course, he doesn't always remember that he can look up the location of lost things, because he's had a lifetime of searching and it's a habit, but it's a good option. I don't lose my phone very often, but if having a clear field of vision doesn't help (I try for a clutter free space), I email my daughter to call me.

we still have a landline. i think it's free with the cable / internet package. we use it to give that # out instead of our cell #s, and have an answering machine on all the time.
