Our family had a prince that just died. He left us $20,000,000, but we can not get to his money without someone from the US sending us $5,000 for the bank to release it.

In short, this dude on a bike asked me for directions, then told me he had a gun.

He asked for my phone, I gave it to him. He looked at it, then at me, and asked me to give him my other phone, the one I was hiding. I was like man, that's the only phone I have. He told me he would search my bag, frisk me, but I kept my cool, "do it, I got nothing." Disappointed, he gave it back to me "take it, I don't want that shit."

He then asked for my money. I had what you might categorize as under-the-couch-cushion change. He looked at me with such disappointment and didn't even take that either. It was just awkward, he kept talking, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, maybe cause I maintained my resting bitch face even though he told me he was going to kill me, he was like "dude, you know what? I like your style. Stay in school!", then he sped off on his bike. What a fucking dick.
