Yeah, make sure you don't get sucked into that hoax. Twenty minutes is more like it. Unfortunately, my friend Ashley and I did get sucked into it at the mall the other day. The worst part is my dinner got cold, and I lost a buck! This kid comes up to us, and asks for just two minutes of our time... I already knew it wasn't, but was stupid enough to ask what for. This was our downfall, and I forever will regret it. hahaha As soon as I said that, the guy felt welcomed to pop a squat right next to me. He concocted some story about a contest he was supposedly in.
Slick Guy-"So do you lovely ladies feel like helping me win a contest?"
Ashley and I look at each other blankly. Not able to stand the silence I ask, dumbly..
Me- "What for??"
Slick guy- "Kay, here's the deal, I'm in this contest to become my school's next DJ and you charming ladies have the opportunity to help a hansom guy as myself to win." *laughs* " Well, maybe not handsome enough for you guys, but I know you still want to help me."
Oh brother! He was laying on the "charm" way too much. We couldn't help but laugh and just listen.
The first part of his visit unfortunately was a trick to get me embarrassed. He told us that in order for us to help, one of us had to stand up, wave our hands in the air and say, "How can I help you to win!!" Well, Ashley and I put up a pretty good front and wouldn't do it. But I soon gave in cause I wanted to eat so I stood up and yelled at the top of my lungs. Yep! You guessed it! He really didn't need us to do it. He really just needed us to subscribe to some magazines. So of course I felt stupid. However, soon enough I wouldn't be the only one. The best part was one of my favorite pick-up lines this fella threw at Ashley. It went a little something like this!
Slick Guy- "You ladies seriously are so charming! I can't handle it! Especially you!" *points to Ashley* "Oh wait, did you know you have a little something in your eye?"
Ashley- *pokes to same eye as him and asks, " What is it?"
Slick Guy- "You have a little twinkle in there."
Ashley- *Actually thinks there is somethin in there and tries to dig it out* "Did I get it?"
The guy and I both laugh
Ashley- "What?"
Me- "Ashley, he's saying you have a twinkle in your eye. Get it? Like your eye twinkles?"
Ashley- *pretend laughs like she understands* "Okay, so did I get it?"
Oh goodness, best moments at a mall ever. But I will never again fall for the, "Just two minutes of your time" bit ever again. I hope I have educated you all in this ploy and hope you all have a wonderful day!
