Walking down the street with my wife we hear the same comment over and over.
“You here on your honeymoon?”
Afterwards they start offering us honeymoon specials on whatever goods they are selling. In reality we’re here because it’s a Wednesday.
One thing I can’t stand is someone trying to scam or rip me off. I needed a new pair of fake sunglasses. A guy tells me he will give me a really good price; I take a look at the sunglasses. I ask him how much for a copy Ray-Bans. The guy puts in his calculator 260,000. (About $23 USD) I lol’d because getting a good deal is paying $3 USD.
I already don’t want to buy anything from him because of his opening offer. I explain to him that I’m going to bangkok tomorrow and I can get the same Ray-Bans for 5000 RP there. I tell him thats all I’m willing to pay. He punches in 140,000 in his calculator. I lol’d again and started walking away.
He begged me to stop and buy the sunglasses and even offered them for the price I asked (5000 RP). I lol’d and kept walking and bought them from someone else who didn’t try to scam me into paying 10x the price.
