Barter System

My funny hong kong friend made an agreement with me. So outrageous that I will never consider accepting.. ..until ...

Hongkong Friend: ''Hey, tomorrow Ive got to wake up early to go on my vacation trip, since you're studying until 6.a.m., can you wake me up at 5.30am?''

Me: "emm tonight I might be sleeping early, around 4am probably, because i'm going for badminton at 9am"
Hongkong Friend: ''Well lets make it this way, you wake me up, I'll give you 4 kiwis''

Me: "What!?! *with a disbelieve expression*
Hongkong Friend: ''Plus another 6 eggs''

Me: "DEal!!"
Then when i came back to my room.. these were at my door.

And he said he will owe me the eggs =.= these eggs are mine! (for illustration purposes)

And then he later came in my room holding a stack of dirty dishes. Saying "I'll throw in another bar of Yorkie(a chocolate bar) if you wash these for me.

He is now pushing his luck too far! ... NOH WAY!!!

This is the cheeky fella! not as decent as he looks!

Snatched

There's a common 'strategy' used by a category of people.
The category that indirectly asks for money from you.
You see them at not so busy streets, sometimes at slightly busy streets as well, outside restaurants, parks, car parks but not in the heart of the city though, because they need your attention.
The phrase goes like this :
"Hiya mate~ do you have 40p to spare? I need to make an emergency phone call but ive got not enough change''

More or less like that. Most people would just go ''sorry, no'' because we already know.
1st day of orientation, we were already enlightened and warned by the uni coordinators about this.

TODAY
As I was walking out of the entrance, there was a number of people surrounding this frustrated man. He was so frustrated and angered his voice was shaking. My nature of being curious, I slowed down to eavesdrop ..to catch these words ..''He was asking for change, but I havent got any, so I borrowed my phone to him and he ran off with it ..''
I looked at that man and his eyes were all red ..looking very anxious, like his day couldn't get worse ..until just.
Whats more saddening was ..he was limping ..
A thief stole a phone from a limp, and from his outfit, he doesn't seem well off. sigh.
You had a bad day.
