On occasion I'll order something at a driver-thru. I'll crane my neck out the window, have a 15 second, garbled conversation with the intercom, pull around, pay, collect my order, and inevitably there will be at least three errors. Mayonnaise? Disgusting.

A lot of people might get irate, but I let it slide. In my mind, if the person working the drive through was smarter, more on top of things, or cared more they probably wouldn't be working through the drive-thru in the first place.

The same goes for sugar scammers - at least the SB pretenders.

If these sugar scammers that get a hundred bucks for an Uber and never show, or grab and dash had half a brain or a quarter of a work ethic they wouldn't be putting themselves in possibly very risky situations. While I'd like to hate on these girls, my heart goes out to them. It's really just kind of sad.

I was catfished once.

I met a girl up from drinks and the girl that showed up couldn't pass for the person in the photos after a bottle of wine and two tabs of acid. I was drinking a cocktail at the bar when cam up and said hi. On the spot I said, "no fucking way!" and she just kind of stood there in the crowded bar-entrance to the restaurant (Avra, in midtown at 7PM on a Thursday for those that want the visual). She looked devastated. I was probably the first person who had no issues calling her out on the spot.

I paused, caucused with my conscience, and asked her if she was ready for dinner. I started out by telling her there has absolutely zero chance there would be a second meeting, but we both needed to eat. Looks-wise she was still a 7 of 10 and not exactly bad looking, but if I'm going to be spoiling with sugar, I'm spoiling myself first. For the next hour she told me how she just used sugar dating sites to go out to new places and maybe go on one or two days a week and on average probably made five hundred dollars a week doing so. She'd been doing this for two or three years, and started out trying to save up so she could open a nail salon or something like that ... but after all that time was financially in the meantime exactly same place as she was when she started.

That's sad. In three years, this girl could have gotten a degree, grinded out enough to open a franchise, or a million other things. Instead, she just ran on the hamster wheel and normalized lying and cheating other people. She ruined herself, and she doesn't realize it.

We finished dinner, and parted ways. I really felt bad for her. I didn't feel bad enough to give her any charity of course.

Anyway, whenever I read stories about low-key scamming, I feel less for the guys that are out a few hundred dollars that can move on without a second thought and more for the girls that really think scamming is the best way for them to get ahead in life.
