| Here's the story. I have several people that I go through to hook me up. One in particular is VERY flaky but always comes through for me. I'm a very good "customer" meaning I'm constantly buying bud...ALWAYS. This one particular hookup is actually a friend of a friend, and the original "friend" who was actually hooking me up, decided he wasn't going to deal anymore....hence the new hookup...who's his friend...I think you get the point here. Anyhoo...He called me last night and said he had some great stuff to sell and could give me 2 1/2 eighths for $50. I agreed to that and he said he'd call me when he was on his way to my house. I originally expected that he'd come WITH the bud and then I'd give him my money.... It ended up being the other way around...He came to my house and picked up the money, then said he'd be right back. That was at 7:30pm. By 9:00 he still hadn't shown up so I called him. He said he was "waiting for his guy....it would only be 10 more minutes". Well...he never showed. Now when I call his cell...a message comes on that says "The PCS telephone number you've dialed is not in service". I know he has one of those cell phones with the prepaid minutes...and I've heard this message before and it meant that he was out of minutes, so I don't THINK he's messing with me....... BUT WHO KNOWS? I don't like how I'm feeling...I could be all wrong about this and just being sensitive but based on what I've read on the boards and how everyone says to NOT give the money up front, I'm concerned. Of course, the worst could have happened...he could have gotten busted or something, but this lack of knowing what's going on is driving me crazy. I've been hooking up with him for some time...could he really have just totally fvked me? My husband is also less than thrilled. He thinks we're screwed for sure. I have such good faith in people, I'm constantly giving them chance upon chance...and this guy has flaked MANY times before. I just don't know what to do. Thanks for listening... ![]()

| i have a feeling he just screwed up. and you'll probably just get your money back. the reason i think this is because you said your always buying pot, so i don't know why he would rip you off for $50. he would be losing a great customer if he did that. and if he has a shred of business since, he call you at the next available time with the weed or your money back. but he's flaky so he could of just ripped you off and hope you forget about it ![]()

| My husband said he thinks he needed the money for something else at the time....he thinks he will come through but not the way he was supposed to. This HAS happened before where he's said "I'll be back" and never shows...but he will always call a few days later and apologize or whatever. I know that $50 isn't a whole hell of a lot of money...but when you're on a budget, things like this really can be bothersome. Thanks for your input. I hope he straightens this out soon. I've always known him to be a flake, but this seems rather blatant and obvious. ![]() |

| I agree. I think he's going to come back in a few days to a week and either hand you your weed or say, "Sorry I couldn't get it. My phone was out of minutes. Here's your money back, sorry."

| I guess it's safe to assume when something seems too good to be true (such as this fantastic deal) is usually is... ![]() |

| He just called....AND apologized He said his phone got shut off and he also ended up falling asleep after the "deal" He also said he'd be by in a while. Now that he's made the contact and called me, I don't feel so taken advantage of. Thanks for your replies...I'd share the wealth with any of you if I could. ![]() |

| You might all as well go ahead and have a laugh at my expense.... Here it is...4:20 and he hasn't called back or shown up. I'm trying to remember the exact words he said when he called around noon in the first place. I know he said he was going to go get his phone turned on (which still hasn't happened) and then go to work, check in and come by and drop it off. He is probably going to use my $ to pay for his phone being turned on again I'm a fool. Go ahead and laugh at me. I am. ![]() |

| I won't laugh at you Vyx I honestly don't think he's trying to rip you off. If he was, I don't think he would have called back. Not to mention that if he was trying to get extra cash and rip you off, he probably would have tried for a much sweeter deal to get more money. So, I'm sure he'll get back to you once he remembers what he is supposed to be doing. I don't know what you're buying habits are, but it might not be such a bad idea to buy bulk. Then once it starts dwindling down, then make your phone call. That way you still have some bud on backup until your hookup finally comes through. I've had to deal with having no bud and waiting weeks for people to get back to me. Longest couple of weeks of my life I'm sure you'll get your bud, and everything will be good again. Don't worry about it Mrs. Vyx -S. Reefer-

| Yeah, I've been there many times. I really grow weary sometimes of the sort of people I must associate with in order to get some herb. I mean, they genuinely do not give a flying f*ck about you, especially if they're a middleman with your money. They think what they are doing for you is a favor, and any negative reaction you have to their inconsideration is somehow inappropriate, no matter how many times they "apologize." I've heard so many empty apologies during my time smoking that I just don't take them anymore. I know you've heard it before, but it really is not a good idea to "trust" anyone in the underworld of drugs, unless, of course, you have an actual relationship with the person that is not so closely affiliated with weed. Otherwise, you're just some face with which they may or may not feel obliged to bother themselves. It is a very strong conviction of mine that all people are inherently lazy and selfish. Whether they show a bit of courtesy or consideration is simply a product of their respective environments, and it is obvious that this is not a requirement in illegal activities. Me, though, I would harrass the hell out of the guy by every means possible. If he says anything about you being b!tchy or a pain in the ass, just blame someone else that he doesn't know. That's what he does to you, I'm sure. "Some of that money was my freind's and he is being a real dick to me about it, so please, man, just hurry the f*ck up, you lazy piece of sh!t." But, maybe that's just my style ![]() Good luck with that, though, and don't accept his apologies. Tell him to forward them to your friend who pretty goddamn pissed off.

If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to teach him to do some tricks. But only if you're serious about adopting the vulture. |
