A sign

Today I saw a girl wearing a cardboard sign which read


"Will listen to your problems for $2.00" 


This presented incredible value for money, so I engaged her services. For those unfamiliar with my afflictions, I have great number of problems/issues/etc and I figured I'd be getting great value for money ... however, instead of me venting, she vented to me ... WTF. 


I'm sorry, but I believe I paid YOU $2.00 so you would listen to MY problems. I was having trouble getting a word in sideways! 


I soon realised that I was being taken for a ride and that my two dorra was going to be a donation. Stubborn as I am, I decided to ask for my money back because she has misrepresented her services. Instead, she continued venting and pretty much just ignored what I had to say. 


In the end, after a brief shouting match outside Bryant Park, I relented and walked away. I must have looked like a complete mental because I was shouting at some crazy who wore a cardboard placard. Then I realised that I was in New York and people shout at each other for no apparent reason. 


Well played douche bag... well played...
