O/T disturbing

[bhoywonder]

this has been disturbing me all day


a workmate told me today that at the weekend his sister was in Braehead shopping ( this is a very big shopping mall near Glasgow )

anyway a fellow in front of her dropped his wallet,so doing the right thing she picked it up and handed it to him to which he was very thankful

then the man said this 'one good turn deserves another,I would advise yourself and your family to avoid the mall over the months of November and December'


without wanting to sound racist and I hope not to stereotype etiher but the man was middle eastern looking in origin

she immediately reported this to the police who are going through the cctv camera footage currently


I find this very scary

thoughts?

fair enuff but my buddy is solid and he was retelling wot his sister experienced


im not one for passing round scary stories,neither is he


I thought wot a crock,,,but it has stayed with me

I have to admit if this had happened to me then I would not go near the mall.

Its the kind of society we live in now unfortunatly, christmas shoppers in a large mall are always going to be a target and 1 day its bound to happen.

You either have to brave the world hoping it doesnt happen to you or do what I do and get all ur christmas presents delivered from Argos without leaving the house.

I fear getting to town in one piece with the bloody manic Polish bus drivers that have recently swamped Bath.

I was told the same story but it happened in central station, this was 3 years ago, The problem we have is that some people feel the need to perpetuate these myths and they actually say  things like " dont go near the shops in Nove,ber!!"  to poor unsuspecting souls.

I would not read too much on to it mate.

That would scare me as well

I heard it, but the man warned to stay away from Dundee.

Why, asked the lady, is there going to be an attack?

No, replied Al Jabbadi, it's because it's a shithole.

[action man]

it's interesting how these urban myths get about isn't it?  Think this is the second one we've had this week.  I remember a few years ago when posh and becks were getting married and there was the urban myth about the couple getting bought out of their room at the Ritz.  I first heard it from a friend of mine - it was a fascinating story involving acquaintances of his.  Next day on the radio, the whole thing is an urban myth that's been spreading like wildfire. 

If we decided to make one up now and spread it about, how long do you think it would take for it to get related back?  Shall we have a go?

extremist groups wouldn t last long if members went around advising people of attacks everytime someone did them a favour/ held a door open. Perhaps the 2 scotish guys off x factorar playing there in Nov/Dec.

This was reported to have happened at the airport on 9/11 as well........................................to nearly 7000 people who didn't get on the plane because of advice from a smartly  dressed middle eastern looking man,
