Ready for this one Trollheart?

Yesterday I get a phone call from my grandmother asking me when I was going to get out of jail. I thought she was having a stroke. Turns out she fell prey to the classic "help me grandma I'm in jail and need cash money right now." scam. They got her for $12,000. I'm f*cking furious. The worst part is that she doesn't want to call the police because they beat the sh*t out of her ten years ago....

...for those of you who don't know that story. The quickest way to tell it is that she got arrested for not letting her partners troubled ex cop son into the house to continue to steal valuable items because he's a pill-head ex cop junkie and he got his old police buddies to literally arrest my grandmother for battery because she put her hands on him. When they arrested her she suffered a black eye and bruised collarbone. She was 76 years old at the time and five feet tall...

The never ending slog of sh*t I my family goes through never ends. Hey, at least we're not in Florida.

Wow. That's awful. It's a scam that still happens a lot. Despite the past with the police, I hope she can somehow get her money back, as well as some justice.

Did your Grandmother ever tell anyone about her incident with the cops? Sounds like the media would have had a field day with this.

I overheard a coworker on the phone getting scammed a while back. He was to the point of getting out his credit card when I looked at his screen and saw the scam pop-up he thought was legit. I just about slapped his phone out of his hand. The **** people will do for money.

Exo, I hope you and your family catch a break from all the bull****.

My grandmother just wanted it to all go away. We never did anything with it. We could have owned that town.

God damn, where's Christopher Dorner when you need him. And was your grandmother cleaned out or is she still financially okay?

****ing unbelievable! These bastards who target old people are the worst. At least if we get caught we can do the facepalm and blame our stupidity. Older people are so easy to convince about things. God I hope she's all right. ****ing ****s. May they die roaring the evil bastards.

Potatoes are the devil. I love potatoes, but they no longer love me back. As a produce stocker who now grabs more potatoes than my own balls they leave a dust under your fingernails that can not be washed off and the dust also dries my hands the **** out. My hands are always ashy now and some of the skin on my right index finger has split. ****ing potatoes.

Also **** pears. They're not making my life worse but if you have any length of fingernails they will slice into the weak, coastal elite liberal skin of a pear like a hot knife through butter.

How'd you think Biggie went from ashy to classy? You gotta do your potato time.
