The exact same thing has happened to me twice: I’m walking out of the convenience store at the Exxon station on Route 4, you know the one, and two guys pull up next to me in a minivan. The driver asks me if I’d care to purchase a “Home Entertainment System” they apparently have in the back of their vehicle, and I decline. Upon hearing this, the man in the passenger seat loudly exclaims, “NO, HE DOESN’T WANT IT, HE’S GAY!” and off they go.
This played out in pretty much the exact same way at the exact same location on two separate occasions, most recently just today, and needless to say on both occasions I sprinted after the car screaming “NO, WAIT! I’LL BUY YOUR STOLEN MERCHANDISE IF IT WILL PROVE TO YOU THAT I’M NOT GAY!” But it was too late. Opportunity only knocks once, my friends! Or twice, whatever.
From what I’ve witnessed I think it’s safe to assume that these guys do this all day every day: Drive to a gas station, pull up next to some dude, offer to sell him a stolen stereo, accuse him of being a homosexual if he’s not interested, rinse and repeat. Are these guys even selling stolen merchandise or is this all just an excuse to drive around calling people gay? What ever happened to the tried and true method of screaming it out the window as you drive by at 40 MPH?
Maybe I sound old, but I really do miss the days when sketchy-ass weirdos who drove around trying to sell stolen shit out of their cars were civil.
