Also if you carry a ladder and a helmet you can enter a lot of places you aren't actually allowed like a festival

Make sure it's a hardhat though. A bicycle helmet will not work.

A guy in Poland recently just sawed open a cigarette vending machine and stole like 2k worth of smokes like this. In bright day light
by Anonymous1 week ago
Also out. I walked into a self serve store just the other day to get coffee for me and some office mates. This place has little mini drip machines that brew a cup at a time. So it took me a few minutes to make four coffees, I even asked the girl behind the counter for a cardboard drink caddy. I finished making my coffee, loaded up the drink carrier, waved to the nice lady and walked to my car. Proud of myself for being the nice guy and buying my work buddies coffee that morning. A few hours later I realized I had stolen that coffee.

Is this an american thing? I've never heard or found people who carry flowers to be more trustworthy.
by Anonymous1 week ago
If anything I get cautious around them. Are they going to try to sell me flowers? Is it that scam that they'll offer me a flower and then say I have to pay for it?
by Katlynheller1 week ago
So what you're saying is you'll avoid eye contact and ignore them and what they're doing? Sounds like a perfect cover
by graham561 week ago
No

It's just not a thing at all.

I see. So OP, being the only one who automatically trust people with flowers, assumed everyone else does also? Lmao.
by Anonymous1 week ago
Yeah pretty much
by Mcculloughhelen1 week ago
I think back to how my college classmate kept getting gifts from a stalker.
by Anonymous1 week ago
Not an American thing. The presence of flowers, or lack thereof, does not change a person's trustworthiness in any direction, unless, of course, the flowers are or are not expected.

Some of you automatically trust people who carry flowers.

that scene where he uncovers the shotgun
by BoardFamous1 week ago
Well, you only get flower as a gift or of condolences. You would assume the person is in love or is showing empathy. But guns inside the flowers has been done so many times in movies that whom doesn't feel like they are a distraction

You gonna have to explain to me why is "who" over "whom".

Can you explain why you did your quotes like that?
by Anonymous1 week ago
I use the German keyboard on my phone, so that's how the quotation marks are by default
by EconomicsResident1 week ago
Ah cool, thank you.
by Anonymous1 week ago
they speak a different dialect of english from american english
by Lockmanesperanz1 week ago
I don't think German is considered a dialect of English, but that's just pedantic of me
by EconomicsResident1 week ago
oh then that's just how quotes work in german. otherwise, i've no clue haha
by Lockmanesperanz1 week ago
Yeah I totally disagree. At least down south anybody carrying flowers is about to run up to you and badger you to buy them and then scream at you when you don't

Whenever I carry flowers on the train without an air tight container my anxiety is heightened because I'm afraid others will notice the smell. I've had instances where people looked at me with an expression that was not exactly trust. I prefer to use a glass jar, so that my carrying flowers on the train remains discreet.

Ever since watching Terminator 2, I trust no man carrying a box of roses.

You don't live in an area with high homeless or panhandling rates, do you?
by Anonymous1 week ago
Not really, no. That would be a pretty dumb reason to trust someone.

See: The Man Who Loved Flowers by Stephen King
by Anonymous1 week ago
Oh I get it. Now when I'm carrying a vaguely human-shaped garbage bag dripping with red liquid I should carry flowers too!
by Anonymous1 week ago
Seeing a man carrying flowers is like seeing a man carrying a baby. It's the trust that they are visibly caring for someone.
by Anonymous1 week ago
Yeah, I don't agree that we necessarily trust anyone who's carrying flowers, but I agree with this. One interpretation of the flowers is that the guy looks caring and less threatening.

What? Absolutely not. That's just a person with some plant parts.

Lol the first thing I think when I see a man carying flowers is "oh, he cheated" 😂 dont know why, of corse its mostly not true
by LittleRazzmatazz43411 week ago
Having had a lying, cheating ex that tried to fix everything with flowers, I have to disagree.
by Parkeramalia1 week ago
Nah, if i see someone giving me flower nawadays in the middle of city, i'd definitely reject it. It's a scheme for beggars, give flower then ask money

Try a ladder. Bonus points for a clipboard.

Yup but every f***er with a guitar case is most certainly a hitman, or god forbid a violin case

Until the flower squirts liquid and they start laughing maniacally.
by hollyrodriguez1 week ago
You do. To me they're just another person. Maybe being nice and are going to give them to their partner. Possibly a stalker.

Recent anime watchers probably don't trust people carrying flowers any more.

You shouldn't in NYC.

Visit italy. You will learn not to trust anyone with flowers. They all want to scam you.

Reminds of that con that Frank Abagnale recalled where he bought a security officer costume and sat next to a bank drop box. He then hung a an "OUT OF ORDER" sign over the drop box and got people to give him their deposits instead. He later remarked, "How can a bank drop box be out of order?"

On... trains? Is your default position to distrust people on trains?
by Markshumberto1 week ago
Nah, I trust them less cause it's usually the people trying to sell you flowers.
by Anonymous1 week ago
We just assume that they're helpful and kind people. Their is a Manga where, near the end, an assassin posed as a flowerseller and he was automatically trusted until his true nature was revealed by him actually
by Anonymous1 week ago
Nah. I saw Terminator 2 as a kid. I don't trust men with roses!

TIL somewhere in the world (I'm guessing america) people automatically trust people who carry flowers. Can anyone enlighten me to where and why this is please?
by christ501 week ago
Sounds like a you problem. I don't trust anybody, like a normal person.
