    I almost did something…does that count?

    I was in real estate and a billionaire was looking for a realtor. He got my information through a mutual acquaintance.

    He kept saying he needed someone who thought like he did. We talked about what he wanted and where he wanted to build his 1000 acre housing community. He kept saying I would be rich if I stuck with him. I researched him and his companies. He was legit.

    Second conversation got deep. After about an hour, the subtle hints became more clear. He was a massive racist. He wanted to build a walled community to keep out minorities. Each home would be a multi-million dollar home. I definitely would be rich after this.

    I spent a week looking for properties and scouring city and county data before I finally decided I couldn’t do it. I felt dirty.

    My wife said she was happy I didn’t compromise my morals.

    Caveat: we are well off, upper-middle class, so don’t think I was giving up too much. No warrior here.

    Edit: if anyone’s wondering I got $45 per video but that was 15+ years ago so idk what the equivalent is now

    Made a fake tinder profile and scammed a bunch of dudes using some random chicks pics off of Tagged….from an account that was doing the same (she was a model from some African Country). It worked….almost too well…got like 500usd in 2 hours, getting guys to trick themselves into thinking I was offering either sex or nudie pics.

    Other than that, was an escort for awhile…Then when I was younger, I would take carbon copies to use them to scam credit cards (forgot how to do that), then there was Phreaking, which I wasnt very good at…

    Oh, probably the worst was joining the military to take part in killing innocent people in the middle east.

    When I was a teen I was emotionally and verbally abused by my first boss. I was the only guy (gay) working at his restaurant (he wanted all girl servers). He would constantly tell me how less I was to the other girls and I wasn’t a hard worker etc. we had a big tip jar and he would steal all the tips. I’m sure he gave the girls some money from it but I never once saw a dime of that tip jar. At 16/17 what are you gonna do? I didn’t really have a backbone plus I wanted extra money since my parents never gave me any. But I worked there for probably a year and hated every minute of it. To this day I’m still self conscious at work sometimes. I work my ass off otherwise I feel like a POS if I’m not doing my best. Thankfully since Covid the American workplace has chilled and I’ve seen some horror show lazy people so I feel so much better about myself these days LOL. I feel like I can relax a lot more.

    This guy i went to school with started chatting to me a while ago, all was well then he started sending me money. Just little bits here and there, enough for a coffee, lunch etc. Then he said if I send him a pic of my belly and boob’s he’d send me more. I ended up making 300 euros out of him just for a few pictures.

    Not what i did but I remember in high school this kid named Matt said someone could kick him in the nuts for$5. We all played varsity soccer but before anyone could react my friend Philip already handed him the five. Two of us braced Matt, Philip reared back and let loose a full strength kick. Matt lifted off the ground, the second he lowered Matt coughed and threw up. He was on all fours on the ground for awhile, I’m surprised his sack didn’t rupture or something

    Not for money but hooking up for places to stay. Gay men are really starved of connection and if you give the slightest bit of effort to make them feel special they’ll do anything for you.

    I’d pick a city I wanted to go to and save up for the plane ticket/eating out/activities (which is usually half the cost you’d normally pay if you needed lodging too) then go on Grindr, hookup, and manipulate them into letting me crash by taking them on a whirlwind romantic date.

    I got to see lots of cities like this. I usually just told them I was new in town and staying with friends so we couldn’t go back to my place.

    Anyways, a free place to stay and being shown around cities by locals was a pretty good deal. Plus I got laid lmao I do feel bad about it now and have grown a lot. I get the ick thinking about how I manipulated and played with their emotions

    I drank an entire bottle of hot sauce for 20 bucks

    Flashback to high school, random guy approaches me when I was walking by, with a standard size bottle of Frank’s red hotsauce (my favourite) in one hand and a 20 bill in the other and says, “I’ll give you this 20 if you chug this right here”. I didn’t even bat an eye, just said sure and grabbed the bottle and drank with my nose plugged, and buddy who made the offer is standing there completely wide eyed in shock and goes “holy fuck I didn’t expect you to actually do it”, gives me the 20 dollar bill, and immediately looks around and runs up to the closest guy who happened to be around and starts begging for extra money to give me because he straight up thought 20 dollars wasn’t enough and wanted to up it to 50, no one gave him anything though so I only made the 20, but also walked away with extra points in respect, and a hefty stomachache that had me puking and shitting my guts out soon after, but overall it was minor and I got over it pretty quick

    I made a profile on one of those “professional cuddler” websites because a couple people told me they’d done it before and it was easy, quick money. I did the whole profile, got registered, got a lot of interest, did one awkward tele-session where we just hung out over Zoom, but I had a panic attack before I could schedule the first in person session because the dude asked me what other services I provided lol. I fully realize one negative example doesn’t negate all the positive experiences people have, but I realized then that I probably wasn’t cut out for the profession. I got a standard boring supplemental part-time job like everyone else🤷‍♀️

    It was honorable. We were broke and took a low end remodeling job. It was some low class apartments and the landlord told us the bathroom was broken.

    We opened the door to the bathroom – and, you guessed it, very large piles in the toilet – on the floor all around the toilet, and elsewhere. Hard to believe this was NJ, USA, eh?

    We went to the army-navy and got gas masks and took on the job.

    Wasant me, But my wife did a porn shoot 5-6 years ago before we got together.
    The agent told her the more things she’s willing to do the higher the pay.

    She did a gangbang scene with 15 older men. No condoms. And they all had to cum on her face in the end.
    It was an age gap fettish scene 🎬. Older Guys 50+ years old.
    Fucking a hot 🔥20-30 year old girl.

    She was paid 4200$ and the agency paid for her STD test & her travel.

    The video of Her getting DESTROYED is online somewhere out there.

    She needed the money for a down payment on her car.

    Work as a personal assistant for a Karen.

    She had a bad habit of yelling at people. Once she was on the phone with her husband while I was in the room. She yell at him, hung up the phone, then looked at me and said “I handled that.”

    She was amazed when I told her I could sew on a button when I refused to take her shirt to a very expensive tailor to put a button on. I couldn’t spend anyone’s money on that.

    She once called me screaming in the middle of the night because her computer broke. She was in a different time zone and demanded that I get it fixed. There was nothing I could do in the middle of the night. When I saw her next I explained to her that I wasn’t going to be spoken to like that ever again and that I will find my replacement. She apologized and begged me to stay, which I did until she yelled at me again.

    The second time, was over the phone again, even though we were in the same house. I put my bag down, calmed walked into her office, explained to her how she messed up, quit, then walked out with my head held high.
