So I just got out of work and stopped on the way at the bank to withdraw some money. As I walked by the parking lot to my car, some guy in a van was like, hey you wanna buy some home theatre speakers? At first I said no but figured, what the heck. I'll see whats up and if it's a good deal, i'll sell it on ebay for a profit.
So I went up to him and asked what are the specs on the speakers? He showed me some papers and pointed out that they were $1400 in stores and he'll sell a pair to me for $150. Now I'm not some stupid nut. I know it's too good to be true. I don't need any speakers but then again if there is some slight chance that these can be good, I'll buy it and sell on ebay like I said. So he opened it up and demoed it for me. I didn't even ask him to. It sounded good but then again I don't know much about speakers, ohms, amps, etc. So I told him to let me call my friend and ask. So I called my friend up on my cell to ask if the specs were good. My friend said it sounds good but he gotta listen to know for sure if it's good.
By then I was like screw this. I don't wanna risk it getting some cheapo speakers that I can't even get even for on ebay. So I got off the phone and was like I dunno man. Then he started getting hostile. He was like "so what? you made me open up the box, waste my time and you gonna let me hang like that? now you said you were gonna call you friend and then you were gonna buy it. are you going to stick to your words???"
I was like wtf??? I never agreed to sh!t. But seeing how hostile he got, I didn't want to piss him off more. So I said "hey my friend wants to listen to it. i'll go pick him up now and we'll come back. if it's good, he'll buy it too."
And he was like "no. i can't stay here long. i came here to get money from a guy who also bought a pair. if you want to do this, i'll follow you to your friends house?" Of course by now I know this fool is crazy and it's illegal as hell.
Of course I was still bullsh!tting him. I figured I'll lose him or after awhile he would get tired and stop following me. So I took off and he followed me for a couple blocks. We approached a freeway and at first I stayed on the rightmost lane but not on the one that's entering the freeway. He was right behind me. When the light turned green I faked I was going straight and swerve onto the freeway. He followed me!!! We approach the light entrance to the freeway and he was still right behind me. The light turned green and I put the pedal to the metal. That fool just straight tailed me disregarding the car to the left of me. There was some traffic so I couldn't go as fast as I wanted to. He caught up right besides me and I was like oh sh!t, he gonna pull a gun and shoot me on the side.
Instead he honked and yelled out the window. I faked I was on my cell phone hoping he would get the fuggin message. But nope. When the next exit came up, I swerve off and he was still on my tail. We hit a red light and I got in the left turn lane and he was on the right turn lane. He got out of his car and started banging on my window saying "why you an asshole????" I tried to ignore him and he got in his car. I thought that was it! So the light turned green and I made a left turn but that fool disregarded the fact he was in a right turn lane and made a left turn pushing the car behind me out of the way. He followed me for another couple of minutes before we hit traffic and I squeezed into other lanes and made a quick left turn. I noticed he was going to do a U-turn to roll back and find me but I made several turns in the residential to lose sight.
I'm still shooken up as hell. People are crazy as fug these days!!!
morale of the story? don't even bother talking to those people selling stuff on the street! yeah I know it's dumb that I did but sometimes a hot deal isn't worth it!
