...like being beat up and having your shit stolen! Uuuuuuuuurgh Im so stupid. Went to get some weed. Followed the guys round who had to get it. All was good, we were talking all nicely and having conversation. Then suddenly the one guy says: "Give me all your money." I didnt think I understood properly, so I was like "uh, I already gave the money to him" and pointed to the other guy. Then he said for me to give my wallet, and the other guys came and surrounded me and felt my pockets and took my wallet. and then they tried to take my backpack and I refused for a sec and the guy punched me in hte face. ANd I dropped htre backpack and they took my digi camera and cell phone, and my monthly card for the Subway. Which I had just renewed today for 26 dollars. and they took the rest of my money, 20 euros. they threw my keys and backpack back at me, and ran. And my face hurts. And now I haveta buy another monthly card for 26 euros. I dont need the camera or handy so Im not upset about htat really, just pissed. I feel liek shit. I was already feeling kind of moody...now I just feel stupid and frustrated and I just wanna know why they had to do that to me. I was bieng all chill and nice and talking with them and it was a good vibe, atleast I thought, until they beat me up and stole my shit. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. IM so upset. Woudlnt it be nice that if as long as you were nice, everyone else would be nice to you?
What the fuck?! Why would you even go and pick up drugs on your own, unless you knew the guys, especially in a foreign country. Get one of your friends to contact them, then take a knife with you. If they don't give you your shit back steal their stuff, including their clothes.
Yeah, you know, the last time someone tried something like that on me, I passed the guy while he was walking on the side of the road and I went around him really quick, veered off to the side of the road, and pretended like he was going to get hit by a truck (he didn't know my truck), then kept on going. Then I came back and chased his ass... I didn't really want my money back or anything. I just wanted my money's worth. He offered a quarter to me one time, but I don't want it. So now, if he walks into my friend's house, I just go "salutations good sir" and walk out of the house and leave... but I always leave like I'm really, really angry. He always thinks I want to fight him. It's funny. Yeah, I'm an asshole. But it's totally worth it.
Sorry to hear that, but that happens alot while traveling. I've been mugged plenty of times, or just robbed at gun-point. Loosing material possessions is a shitter indeed, but I do admire you for the positive attitude your are maintaining. Those things can be replaced, just take it easy and do not let this one setback disappoint you or even worse...scare you. Being nice doesn't always work out, that's the way the world spins... but it's still worth it. If you love people, then keep on lovin'... if they don't love you back, it's truly their loss. I honestly don't think that those guys feel too good about themselves for robbing an innocent kid. L.A.- Getting drugs in foreign countries is not too hard, and it's a great way to meet people. I've had some of my best traveling experiences through trying to score some pot. Yes, they weren't all pleasant, but they were experiences... and traveling is all about that... the people and the experiences you have with them... both good and bad. You learn so much more out of being mugged in a foreign country, then out of sitting on your ass at home with all the pot in the world and a non-bruised face. L.A.
No, I wasn't talking about picking drugs up in foreign countries, more so going it alone. I was talking about getting your pay-back on them.
^LA Matthews: well, its not really a foreign country to me anymore, Im living here for a year, and Im fluent in the lnaguage, so none of htat is the problem. Usually I buy in the park, and its in an open location, so theres never a worry for anything like that happening, since theres otehr epople around who would obviously do something. It was because I trusted these dealers and followed them around to a "hidden" (not really hiden, just no one was there) place...so it was me being stupid and trusting the guys. Oh well. Im kinda happy with myself tho with how Im handlin it. If you has asked me yesterday how id react if I had my camera, handy, monthcard for the subway, and money stolen, I probably woulda said: "Id be pissed as FUCK is someone stole my shit liek that!" but if you told me I would be punched in the face, (which before today has never happened to me...liek I said theres a first fo reverything) I would have expected myself to be crying and freakin out. But I dont raelly give a shit that my handy and camera and money is stolen. I hate handys anyway. o, I just realized IVe been usin the word handy...thats what the germans say for cell phone, in case you were confused. but yeah, the main thing that just stinks is that my face hurts....oh well. Im off to smoke up with a friend!

Im off to smoke up with a friend! oh,and anyone talking about payback or revenge: nope. I wont do it. come one, im not gonan mess with those dicks again, they seem to have enough problems already as it is, if they have nothing better to do than lead a 17yr old around the city only to beat him up and steal his shit... Im just pissed beacuse one: they cant even do anything with the cell- I canceled the plan for the phone as soon as I was home...so thats garbage...and the camera I have needs to be charged (rechargable battery), and tehy defintiely dont have a charger for it, so once its outta batteries, tehyll probably throw it out. and even if they did figure all that out- they probably dont even have a comptuer to upload the pictures onto.... so my point is- the only thing doing them good is my money, and them stealing ym cell and camera was kinda pointless.
i had no idea that handy meant cell phone till the end of the thread that really sucks dude, but im glad you feel so well about having your stuff stolen. Hopefully next time you will meet some nice dealers who wont mug ya after they sell ya stuff
I dunno em at all. Ill probably run into the sometime, thats how life goes. But my face isnt hurting anymore. haha and Im actually in a weirdly good mood. Maybe I needed a good smack across the face...
Fuck jumping them. Payback is stupid. Learn from your mistakes, and move on. Even if you do jump them, and somehow manage to kick their ass... what do you get out of it? Some false sense of gratification? Fuck that.
haha right. nah, Im good. and plus, Im not gonna lie: I could NOT beat those guys up, even if I wanted to- theyre pretty big! haha But my face has stopped hurting! Yay! Now it just looks like someone punched me in hte eye, which is weird, bacuse they didnt punch me in the eye, it was more near my ear...but somehow now theres a big purple shadow under my eye. hmmm
