The punt I made money from
A year or so ago I made an appointment with an escort on NZG. It turned out she lived in the same CBD apartment complex I'd previously lived in. So when I got there I knew where the lifts and stairwells were. She opened the door and yes, she was a bait 'n switch. Usually I don't even care. I figure with a new lady you're taking a risk and I only had my burner phone and $180 cash on me. But this time I was annoyed, at being conned. I told her I was leaving and she shouldn't trick people. Being in an apartment building I knew emboldended me. She was on about level 5 and I decided not to wait for the lift to come up from the ground floor but take stairs and get out of Dodge pronto. A couple of flights down I saw a bunch of money dropped on the stairs. Mostly $1 and $2 coins. They were scattered across a few different steps. I picked them all up and on the way home stopped by the ATM and made a deposit! Maybe the world was rewarding me for standing up to a con artist. I felt like a deviant ratbag but also had a good laugh.
