Gullible?

Post Reply New Topic

Now, I'm not sure if you're playing along or not.

Touche'

Yes I am ver gullible, trusting and naive. At the same time, I am suspicious and paranoid that things are never how they appear to be. At the time I am interacting with someone, I am totally trusting but then once I find out they have deceived me, I think EVERYONE is untrustworthy...until the next time I interact with them. Then they are given another clean slate.

"Push one if you're a gal, push two if you're a guy, but if you're under 18 get off the line!"

Its an actual phone number now- for a sex hotline.

Like a lot of you guys, I am really skeptical as far as scams go. But really easily fooled by sarcasm or humor. The other day, my manager came into work with noticibly shorter hair (he has long hair and about two inches was gone) so I said to him "Did you cut your hair?" And he replied "No." And I looked confused so he went "yeah I did." Hehe I believed Kapey said she couldn't find gullible in the dictionary!! !

Sometimes when people joke seriously i have no idea.

When i lived in SC my friends asked if i wanted to go snipe hunting. So of course i was like yea! For 6 months i bothered them to take me snipe hunting. Then finally my friend was like it's a joke, it's something you say to get a girl to go out to the woods with you at night.
Then i still begged them to take me snipe hunting anyway. Yet no one ever did.

There really is an animal called a snipe Its a bird according to wiki... i'm just not sure where its located

Same here.

ditto.

Gullible?

Not me.

I drove a hard bargain when I bought the Brooklyn Bridge from that Nigerian prince on the internet! He told me so!

With a great investment like the Brooklyn Bridge I will soon have enough money to go on a snipe hunt, and buy both a paper stretcher, and a brick stretcher!

I did too I thought maybe she overlooked it or misspelled it. It could happen.

This reminds me of the time I was cleaning a stain and my mom told me to put some elbow grease on it. I couldn't find the elbow grease. Or the time my teacher gave us a test on her and their was a question on the test asking what her pet peeve was. I knew she had a cat so I put that. I got the question wrong. So in summary, yes I am somewhat gullible.

People who work on tech support phone lines report that staggering numbers of people call in because theyve looked all over the keyboard and "can't find the 'Any Key'"!

When I've encountered it, it is for the purpose of poking fun at someone who doesn't know any better. You'd take them out snip hunting and leave them there with promises that you would drive the snipe to them. Then you had back to camp and leave them out there until they give up some time later, hopefully many hours.

When my cousin and I became boy scouts, on our first camp out someone wanted to take us snipe hunting. What they didn't know was that I already knew what was happening. So they told us this long winded story and took us out somewhere away from the camp to hunt snipes and left us there with the promise that they were going to drive the snipes to us and it was our job to catch them.

They were surprised when they got back to camp and found that we were already there.

One simple gullible-related prank that some people I grew up with played on a local girl when were were in elementary school was they told her to ask a certain one of the boys how his aunt danced.

So she went up to him and asked, "How's your aunt dance?" He was ready for that and responded with a pretty convincing demeanor, "That's not funny. My aunt doesn't have any legs."

The girl was literally crying out of embarrassment for that.

That's terrible!! !!
