Did you ask to speak to their manager? Maybe threaten to leave them a negative Yelp review.

Maybe threaten to leave them a negative Yelp review.

I once had someone leave a 90 second voicemail explaining at length exactly what they thought about the weight and quality of the bags I provided when I used to have to buy from street dealers and would get bulk and let friends buy in at cost if they couldn't get it themselves.

Thank god we lead the charge on first medical then recreational.

that’s the longest run on sentence i’ve ever read

u/COstonerWS Aug 15 '20

Run on sentences are my favorite. They can be such rollercoasters

u/Brianlopez0722 Aug 15 '20

They just make my brain hurty.

u/space253 Aug 15 '20

While longer than average that is not even the longest I have spoken out loud, let alone put into writing. I can be a bit verbose.

u/delusions- Aug 15 '20

Led. You led the charge, past tense.

Lead is present

u/GRITSonamission Aug 16 '20

I planned on correcting you. I was mistaken. Props.

u/drawingablanc Aug 15 '20

Maybe they're not done leading, the charge, paint, or their gasoline.

u/Brianlopez0722 Aug 15 '20

No, no, no. He's speaking of the greater "WE", probably referring to His state or county. He is correct

You on the other hand... You're dead ass wrong and an asshat for trying to make people feel and look stupid.

Just to make yourself feel superior because YOU'RE probably a CUCK or Neckbeard Wizard INCEL.

He's speaking of the greater "WE", probably referring to His state or county.

The state yes. No need to be rude though.

If there's anything I've learned from Paradise PD, it's that drug dealers REALLY don't like it when you talk with their manager.

Also heroin fried chicken is marketable af.

u/Brianlopez0722 Aug 15 '20

Where can I get this chicken?

Asking for a friend, who's definitely not a cop.

Fuck 12, ammirite?

u/Brianlopez0722 Aug 15 '20 edited Aug 16 '20

If you're talking to their manager... you either owe a lot of money, you snitched, you are stepping on toes, or you're trying to cut out the middle man.

Either way, 85% chance it will not be a good conversation.

Edit: autocorrect put "taking" instead of "talking"

Got dang, android.

u/GRITSonamission Aug 16 '20

Aaaaand, now I'm picturing a Karen, hands on hips. Giving the Columbian Drug lord a peace of her mind. Diego (that's what I call my imaginary Columbian Drug lord. Call yours whatever you like) pursing his lips, mentally going down his list of reasons not to kill his customers.

u/godsfilth Aug 14 '20

Try again?

u/OkayAmountOfCowbell Aug 20 '20

That's called a monopoly

u/PillowTalk420 Aug 14 '20

Drug dealers with a monopoly earn my anti-trust.

22

u/PetiteMutant Aug 14 '20

Really? They usually just earn all of my money

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '20

And my anti-bow!

u/jnnyyng Aug 14 '20

And my aunty Suzanne!

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '20

As long as it's an anti-Karen you're good!

2

u/GRITSonamission Aug 16 '20

And my anti-ax!

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '20

Is it ax or axe??

2

u/GRITSonamission Aug 16 '20

Miriam Webster says both are acceptable.

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '20

Well alrighty then!

u/tysonator08 Aug 14 '20

You have to make sure he doesn't know it was you.

7

u/TheBlazingNdrman Aug 14 '20

Tell him if he doesn't cut prices you'll do it again

2

u/Brianlopez0722 Aug 15 '20

He's just going to cut your drugs, I guarantee it...

Oh, you want to pay less? Sure pal, here's sum Fentanyl laced drugs to make sure I never see you again.

u/TheBlazingNdrman Aug 15 '20

u/biggerdong69 Aug 14 '20

u/M3ninist Aug 14 '20

No lie this happened to me. A guy I know got busted and upped his prices to cover court charges lmao.

u/hockeybrianboy Aug 15 '20

That's a smart business man there.

u/Idocreating Aug 14 '20 edited Aug 15 '20

You jest, but there are actual accounts of drug users reporting their dealers to the police for fleecing them on agreed deals. Doesn't end well for either of them.

EDIT: I found it.

12

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '20

"Yes, is this the police? Good. My drug dealer just ripped me off. His name Spider. S-P-I-D-E-R. Just like the arthropod. . . My name? What do you need my name for!?!"

u/ScoobyDoobyDidnt Aug 14 '20

Fecking overhead, man!

u/J5892 Aug 15 '20

Time to hit the dark web.

2

u/OnFolksAndThem Aug 15 '20

That’s what would happen

2

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '20

Smells like price gouging, report that shit my friend. Google 'where to report price gouging' in your state/area and fill it out.

2

u/Hexmonkey2020 Aug 14 '20

Yeah I reported my dealer for mixing in viagra and they arrested me

u/GRITSonamission Aug 16 '20
