Stupid Friends

My friend, lets call him 'Bryan'. 'Bryan' a few months ago, decided to try his hand at ticket brokering after seeing how my other friend 'Craig' basically got paid over $1000 to goto Wrestlemania (sold 2 tickets on ebay that he coudlnt use). The tickets he purchased were for Esther... I mean Madonna. Floor seats at Continental Airlines, $300 a pop. He bought 4 of them. $1200 for four tickets. I thought it was stupid immediately. I dont care how much I like a musical act, there's NO way I'm paying $300 a ticket, even to see Jesus.

He tried selling a pair of them on ebay to test the waters and got ONE bid for $150... Of course, he wasnt going to deal with that so he emailed the guy telling him that he didnt have the tickets anymore and forgot to end the auction. Somehow, that guy didnt leave negative feedback.

The show was last night, so he and his very irate wife went to Jersey and tried to scalp the tickets. He ended up selling one pair for $300 and having to use the other pair and see the concert...

Total Cost for seeing Madonna: $900.
 
my friend has a child (dead beat dad), lives in her girlfriends daughter's room (with her child) yet she wants to have another child (ASAP). uneducated, barely earns enough to live, bad credit, unpaid bill through the roof, no home and no prospects... I repeat, she wants to have another child "ASAP"
 
Haha... that wasn't so smart. He bought tickets for the wrong concert, her shows aren't selling very well. He needs to pick an act that will actually be sold out. And that a lot of people actually want to go to. 🙂

Seems like a lot of poor people are like that, even if they're not living off the government. Maybe she hopes another child will make her life seem more fulfilling. Obviously she is too stupid to recognize the negatives.

He's not very bright in general.
 
I have a couple friends that are grossly unintelligent. But they're funny and good at video games.
 
One of my friends took me to see the last Knicks vs. Jordan's Bull game.

We had pretty good tickets and when I met up with him, he ran up to me and said hey some guy offered to buy my tickets for $300 and gave me seats that weren't as good. When I looked at the tix I noticed they were fake. When I told him that, he said "sh!t!" and ran off. He later came by again and said I bought some good seats from some kid using the $300 the guy gave me. I looked at them again and agin they were fake.

Needless to say he was/is a dumb@ss and we ended up watching the game from a bar across the street.
 
wow.
he got burned. i guess he thought madonna...still mattered?
im not sure you could pay me 900 bucks to sit through her concert.
well, you could, but i would be in the concourse pounding 8 dollar beer with the newly acquired 900 bucks.
 
I just got paid to go to the Cubs / Brewers game this past Tuesday. I got 10 bleacher seats ($10 + fees / each) and 4 box seats ($35 each). I sold the bleacher seats for $50 / each. I love the sold out Wrigley North games. 🙂
 
Had a female friend who was taking "World Religion" at this time...her, my room mate and I were sitting in chili's my room mate and i across from her. She goes on to say.... "People of Islam follow Judaism" I actually paused to think this one out to make sure what she had just said and just lost it laughing. 😕

LMAO! That's great. So, would an Islamic Jew be required to commit suicide as part of their ji'had?

Funniest part is she actually didnt think it was that funny...she didnt get what was so FUNNY! We had to explain to her that Islam and Judaism were two different religions...This happened over a year ago I still make fun of her... haha.... don't get me started on her English paper skills.... 😕
 
I have a friend named bryan who does not stop to think before he talks.... we were walking out of class with a female who had a child.

Female: Im gonna go see my bf tonite!
Bryan: You're gonna do it!!!
Female *looks at him funny* What makes you say that?
Bryan: because you already have a kid means you put out.
Me: *frogs Bryan in the shoulder* you idiot
Female: she laughs

No tact whatsoever lol

thats actually kinda funny.
 
No great examples of stupid friends, but one of my friends is the daughter of vietnamese immigrants, and while she speaks perfectly (well, okay, above average american-ly) 99% of the time, every once in a while she'll come up with these hilarious pronunciations. In this case, it was Utah. A bunch of my friends and I were having a conversation about one of my (non mutual with the rest of them) mormon friends, and she mentions that she went to Ooh-tuh. We were all like 😕 and then, after a pause, someone said you mean Utah? It's pronounced ewe-taw. We all :laugh: for at least a minute, and then she got mad and left. 😀
 
a friend of mine went off to live in Canada to be with my wife's best friend, whom he just recently met. He didn't bring his birth certificate or passport and had to be stopped at the border. He finally got through, and now his drivers license has expired. The frustrating thing is that recently, I had to bail him out of trouble most of the time. He lived with me rent-free for a while, ate out of my fridge...kind of like having a moody teenager live with you.

Actually this shows how smart your friend is. He understands cause and effect (babies come from putting out) and was able to extrapolate patterns of behavior from this effect. Good for him. 🙂
