“Is getting p*ssy not enough anymore?!?!” Tess screams via an email. “They want our electronics, too!!!” Backing up a bit, let me explain what happened … Last week, my friend Julia and I are at W Hotel The Tuscany for a velvet rope book party: How To Love Like a Hot Chick: The Girlfriend to Girlfriend Guide to Getting the Love You Deserve. Julia — dressed in a cute, khaki pencil skirt and button-down shirt with the top three buttons breezily left slightly open — stands up and says, “I’m gonna get us drinks.” She’s two steps away when, out of nowhere, a dark-haired dude in a three-piece suit and a warm smile swarms my table with his friend in tow then abruptly talks me up. Probably harmless, but the whole thing seems odd because:
- Dudes RARELY approach unless I’ve AT LEAST made eye contact with them. Fuck what anyone else tells you, women almost always make the first move — even if it’s nonverbal.
- Who the hell approaches a solo woman with a wingman? Usually, I only call on my “backup” / “a wingwoman” if a guy is standing with another person (e.g. not on his own).
Anyway. The dudes eventually leave, and I’m alone. Julia returns to the table and asks, “Where’s my phone?” I’m like, “I thought you took it with you.” She says, “No, I left it on the table.” Long story short, the guy comes back with his friend, other stuff happens, yada yada yada, we wonder if the dude stole her phone. Granted, there’s never a reason to steal anyone’s stuff … That said, I would’ve understood it more if Julia’s handheld was an iPhone or Blackberry. (High value = more likely to be stolen, no?) But, Julia’s phone was one of those cheapies you get free with a contract. What’s the point? It didn’t even have a SIM card. And, not to mention, of course she immediately called her cell phone services provider and canceled the phone. So, whoever took the damn thing can’t even use it, no? Hmmm … Interestingly, after telling this story to others, SEVERAL people repeated similar instances to me. Pas op! A rash of “flirting – come – phone thievery” action has me wondering what the hell is going on. Then again, I guess this is nothing new.

could be for the numbers in it …. or it could be for the phone itself…. you can re-chip it and use it for a “burner” ….. if people are jackin’ cat cons from cars for the
metals within…. takin’ cells is just another gig….. but guys jackin’ cells from the ladies… that itself is new low….. for anybody…..
lamesabassman……. maybe we should go back to using the drum…. no dropped signals there….
The piece doesn’t allude to them hooking up, so maybe once he saw he wasn’t going to get an p*ssy he settled for the phone, and depending on the particular P*ssy, the phone might be a better pick.
Wayyyyyy, off topic but segueing from cell phones to

Ugh! That is just so disgusting! A cell phone, man? Really? smh
the more things change…… the more they remain …. the same….
lamesabassman…….. when will this madness end…..
Yeah but they finally arrested the rogue officer in Arizona. Wonder why he’s on the run and apparently he took the fifth and refused to even cooperate with his own internal investigators, as well as calling an attorney to the scene when his commanding officer attempted to question him. Even filed a report about the shooting but did not indicate why he shot the unarmed man who was laying face down on the ground. His arms were behind his back and there was another officer “leaning” on his head, so hard pressed to say he was resisting arrest or attempting to flee custody. Have to keep up on this one.
Sorry that was Nevada where he turned himself in.
Back when I was in college, I and a friend went to the girls dorm and stole a bunch of stuffed animals. Then proceeded to hold them for ransom ( a hug and a kiss). It was all very juvenile, but it worked. Until I went to bed and put my arm around ” Bun Bunny” I was imediately awash with a feeling of warmth and peace. When i told the rightful owner of how I felt. She decided to let me keep bun Bunny. I never had a stuffed animal of my own, I slept so wonderfully after that…….and the chicks loved the fact that i was sensetive enough to have a stuffed animal ;)
But I digress. My guess is that this was some kind of bungled prank. Like the guys probably took her celphone into the bathroom and took naked homo pics or something, and were then planning on putting the phone back.
people be kinky like that =0
or they were looking to steal her personal information
How pathetic. I only do that for laptops.
Something like that almost happened to me and a friend (but she had my phone in her pocket to hold on for me). We were at this club dancing and this guy came up behind her and started to dig his hands into her pocket. For a steal instead of a feel. Thankfully she put an end to that before he took my phone.
People are getting too bold/crazy nowadays. Nothing surprises me anymore.
