Also if you carry a ladder and a helmet you can enter a lot of places you aren't actually allowed like a festival

Make sure it's a hardhat though. A bicycle helmet will not work.

A guy in Poland recently just sawed open a cigarette vending machine and stole like 2k worth of smokes like this. In bright day light

Also out. I walked into a self serve store just the other day to get coffee for me and some office mates. This place has little mini drip machines that brew a cup at a time. So it took me a few minutes to make four coffees, I even asked the girl behind the counter for a cardboard drink caddy. I finished making my coffee, loaded up the drink carrier, waved to the nice lady and walked to my car. Proud of myself for being the nice guy and buying my work buddies coffee that morning. A few hours later I realized I had stolen that coffee.

Is this an american thing? I've never heard or found people who carry flowers to be more trustworthy.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

If anything I get cautious around them. Are they going to try to sell me flowers? Is it that scam that they'll offer me a flower and then say I have to pay for it?

by Katlynheller 1 week ago

So what you're saying is you'll avoid eye contact and ignore them and what they're doing? Sounds like a perfect cover

I see. So OP, being the only one who automatically trust people with flowers, assumed everyone else does also? Lmao.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Yeah pretty much

by Mcculloughhelen 1 week ago

I think back to how my college classmate kept getting gifts from a stalker.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Not an American thing. The presence of flowers, or lack thereof, does not change a person's trustworthiness in any direction, unless, of course, the flowers are or are not expected.

Well, you only get flower as a gift or of condolences. You would assume the person is in love or is showing empathy. But guns inside the flowers has been done so many times in movies that whom doesn't feel like they are a distraction

You gonna have to explain to me why is "who" over "whom".

Can you explain why you did your quotes like that?

I use the German keyboard on my phone, so that's how the quotation marks are by default

Ah cool, thank you.

they speak a different dialect of english from american english

by Lockmanesperanz 1 week ago

I don't think German is considered a dialect of English, but that's just pedantic of me

by EconomicsResident 1 week ago

oh then that's just how quotes work in german. otherwise, i've no clue haha

by Lockmanesperanz 1 week ago

Yeah I totally disagree. At least down south anybody carrying flowers is about to run up to you and badger you to buy them and then scream at you when you don't

Whenever I carry flowers on the train without an air tight container my anxiety is heightened because I'm afraid others will notice the smell. I've had instances where people looked at me with an expression that was not exactly trust. I prefer to use a glass jar, so that my carrying flowers on the train remains discreet.

Ever since watching Terminator 2, I trust no man carrying a box of roses.

You don't live in an area with high homeless or panhandling rates, do you?

Not really, no. That would be a pretty dumb reason to trust someone.

Oh I get it. Now when I'm carrying a vaguely human-shaped garbage bag dripping with red liquid I should carry flowers too!

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Seeing a man carrying flowers is like seeing a man carrying a baby. It's the trust that they are visibly caring for someone.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Yeah, I don't agree that we necessarily trust anyone who's carrying flowers, but I agree with this. One interpretation of the flowers is that the guy looks caring and less threatening.

Lol the first thing I think when I see a man carying flowers is "oh, he cheated" 😂 dont know why, of corse its mostly not true

by LittleRazzmatazz4341 1 week ago

Having had a lying, cheating ex that tried to fix everything with flowers, I have to disagree.

by Parkeramalia 1 week ago

Nah, if i see someone giving me flower nawadays in the middle of city, i'd definitely reject it. It's a scheme for beggars, give flower then ask money

Until the flower squirts liquid and they start laughing maniacally.

by hollyrodriguez 1 week ago

You do. To me they're just another person. Maybe being nice and are going to give them to their partner. Possibly a stalker.

Reminds of that con that Frank Abagnale recalled where he bought a security officer costume and sat next to a bank drop box. He then hung a an "OUT OF ORDER" sign over the drop box and got people to give him their deposits instead. He later remarked, "How can a bank drop box be out of order?"

On... trains? Is your default position to distrust people on trains?

by Markshumberto 1 week ago

Nah, I trust them less cause it's usually the people trying to sell you flowers.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

We just assume that they're helpful and kind people. Their is a Manga where, near the end, an assassin posed as a flowerseller and he was automatically trusted until his true nature was revealed by him actually
