Weird situation in my City Centre today !

[Anonymous]

Hi

Whilst waiting outside a City Centre shop this afternoon while my partner was shopping inside ,I was approached by a youth asking if he could borrow my phone to ring his Mum.

Now at approx 18 years of age he and the girl of a similar age he was with would have left me standing, if they took off , so I said Sorry....No.

I then observed this pair approaching passers by.

I was surprised at ~

A, People thought nothing of handing over a £300 + smartphone to a complete stranger.

B, Let them dial whatever number which yes could have been their Mum, but could have also been some dodgy number or even an international one.

C, I observed them approach several people even after making a call - watching them dial into the phone several times.

They were handing round the bus stop asking people waiting for the bus.

They didn't catch the bus but just moved on.

Something not right there. 😞

Let me rephrase that Gerry...

The guy was a total idiot in my humble opinion

It does appear to me that some comments were rather rude towards some people on this thread from members that should know better ......

So who was rude to who??? I see no comments made to other members only about the people willingly handing over phones to other members of the public?

I quite agree Jonsie no one in this thread has insulted another forum member so what's the problem here?

I also agree. Comments were made about the person who handed over the phone but that person is not on the thread.
