Are you a good scammer?

[livinitup]

The library post reminded me of a scam I pulled off in college. I was irrationally annoyed that I couldn't get a library card in the city I went to college. So, when I got a fake ID to go to bars, I made sure to scam a local address so I could get a library card, too. I was way more scared of the librarian bitches than any bouncer when using it.

But did you return the books in a timely manner?

[Deleted]

No. I am a terrible liar.

We made a fake parking pass when we lived in Alexandria. We only paid for to park one car in the garage. I only drove my car on weekends so we just shared the remote to get in the garage. Eventually the car with the fake parking pass got towed, because they figured us out. The strange thing was our fake pass was missing when we went to pick up the car. I'm not sure how they got it out of the car, but it didn't seem like we had a right to ask for our fake pass back.

No, I am an awful liar. It shows on my face. I took salt and pepper from the college dining hall one time and brought it back within the week. I am not even sure why I even took them---maybe I wanted the salt for popcorn, but that doesn't explain the pepper. Weird.

We did the same thing. Couldn't get a second permit for H's apartment complex. We copied his and I used it for like 9 months before I finally go towed. The tow guy was so proud of catching us, he was a total jerk! I didn't tell him we got away with it for so long. Although he should have known, the only reason he spotted it was because it had faded in the sun. Doh.

No - I could barely keep myself from nervously giggling whenever I presented my fake ID in college. There's no way.

Wow. Just wow. To all of this.

[UMaineTeach]

nope, not good at lying and I am a little Sheldon Cooper about trying to cover all the bases before I lie

[luvmagoldn]

I am a terrible liar so no. But a friend from college could spin a good yard and even if you didn't believe it, she was so charming she would get away with it anyway!

I think it's a useful skill to have.

Why couldn't you get a library card? All I've had to do everywhere I've lived in show somethat that shows I'm living there. Even a piece of mail with a local address has worked.

Ditto this, that makes no sense.

Yes. I've had to fake an emergency (not a life threatening one) to get an award recipient to the award presentation. I'm also pretty good at getting into places for free, which comes in handy at my job, where I have to keep people from coming into places for free.

I don't get what's so "wow" about any of this.

[stingsharkruns]

No. I'm a horrible horrible liar.

I am a square so I wouldn't even attempt this.

My sister tried to run part of the Chicago Marathon with me without a bib and I physically pushed her off the course lest I be accused of encouraging a race bandit.
