I guess wearing a nice trench coat attracts attention these days

I still hate Christmas

and I hate shopping for Christmas

I want to celebrate something that entails less present buying like Quanza

Just do what I do, buy for the most important person... YOURSELF! Fuck everyone else. They want it, let 'em buy it. You want it, buy it yourself.

As far as being chased around, back when I had long hair I used to get followed by security at Best Buy all the time. I actually had some big black dude follow me around and stood outside the bathroom for me. When I came out, before I was actually in an isle or anything, he was like "Hey, can I help you?" with a major ass attitude. I said "what, help me shake it?" and he got pissed and walked away.

I also heard them put the cameras on my brother. They have that little security station thing up front and I heard an employee call up the front and say "follow the guy in the TV section. Long hair, hooded jacket." :lol:

You should have gone to the help desk/customer service desk and bitched your ASS off. Make a HUGE show and make sure everyone hears. Places like that REALLY kiss your ass when you do shit like that... or kick you out. Of course, if you felt insulted and they kicked you out, making a scene would have probably made you feel a little better.

Man, I know what you mean about getting followed. Back when I was in high school, my friends and I would hang out at the mall and kept getting followed by the mall cops. There was about 9 of us, and what we did was when we saw a mall cop following us we would divide into three groups and ran in three separate directions. The look on that mall cop's face was priceless.

My favorite shit is to put shit in your pockets as you shop....

Then as you leave, go to the register and pay for shit... After they follow you around for like half an hour.... HAHAH so funny.

I used to get followed alot back when I used to always wear my leather trench coat, back around 95-97. Of course the long hair never helps much either.

When ever it happens I used to do the stupidest things. Depending on the store, browsing the women's underwear and/or feminine hygiene products usually gets a good reaction.

The local cops in my home town used to ALWAYS bust our balls back when I was a teenager.
The best was when we 4 of us got stopped by two cops at around 11pm one night while walking to my friends house.
The cops asked us, what are you guys up to? My friend Danny being the wise ass answered with an attitude, "We're going to bake some cheesecakes!!!"
While searching my back pack they found sugar, 8 packages of cream cheese, 2 dozen eggs, 2 quarts of heavy cream and about 8 gram cracker pie crusts.
We actually were going to my friends house to make cheesecake. The cops were pretty much speechless and sent us on our way.. but not without warning us if any houses got egged that evening they'd be at our door tomorrow.

The only time I can accurately remember being followed was leaving the Scottsdale Radisson last New Years Eve completely intoxicated with my friends.

Me and a friend use to have game going. He'd walk into a store wearing super baggy jeans and an oversized jacket acting all shady( he was also black ). They'd be so focused on watching him I could walk in 10 minutes later and steal anything I wanted to.

I was followed by the security at a mall one time, when I was with a camera, taking photos of the chick's butts ;)

I used to know guys who would set it up to have two shady black guys walk around the Liqur strore and act like they were gonna steal some mr bostons or some shit. The employees would be so focused on them that two confederates would walk out with the good stuff.

Sorry... I would have loved to have seen a picture of their reactions...

I swear that Cheesecake story rules...
(or should I say, "takes the cake")

Anyway, I guess I'm too innocent looking -or I'm simply unobservant.

It's because you used to look like Jesus. I'm sure without the bitchin' beard you get followed all the time.

I don't get followed so much as get harrased by high pressure sales pitches whenever I go into Best Buy.

*It Sucks*

Also the warrenty sales pitch.

As far as anywhere else I'm either left alone or I don't notice it.
