There are signs but we're still buying collections safely and people just show up a lot of the time so I have to at least try to intercept.

What I don’t get is... we both grew up in cities, right?

How the **** could you not see that coming? I actually can’t believe that ended up as well as it did after he took your keys. And your keys were just laying out where he could grab them? Keys wallet phone... anything that’s only yours should always be in your hand or pocket. I swear to God I can’t believe you live in ****ing Newark. No ****, if someone knocks on my door I get my gun before I look out the peephole. And with this **** going on. Goddamn.

Albert Ayler records aren’t worth anything to a dead man.

Dude, you just don't get it. I NEED Ayler records.

I grew up in Passiac County, NJ, which is where my shop is. It's suburban. I live in Essex county, three miles away from Newark in Montclair, also suburban. I'm not really a street rat but I have some experience.

I guess you are who you are. God knows I couldn’t have done that abandoned house job you did. I’d have legit PTSD from that. Although I did explore abandoned buildings and **** when I was in high school and college, but WITH A GROUP OF FRIENDS. I can’t believe you did that job unarmed and alone. The police wouldn’t even think of doing that ****.

Dear god, Exo, you're a doll but you're also a milquetoast suburban white stereotype. Gotta learn to drop the etiquette act when necessary. Nobody's gonna remember you when you're dead for how polite you were.

If there's anytime to let out your burning hatred for your stupid customers that you let fester underneath that very thin layer of politeness out it's now.

"Act like you Belong" is the mantra for doing that job and also just dealing with urban areas in general. To be fair, in the four years I did that job, I only ever walked in on vagrants three times and I worked Hudson County for two of those years. I was more afraid of raccoons to be be honest.
