I was just wondering, considering the wealth of years and experiences amongst the bluelighters here whether anyone had any stories of deals that have been extremely sketchy, gone horribly wrong or otherwise? I'd be really interested to hear some people's stories. I'll start with a couple:
Over a year ago I went to score gear off some guy in the Ancoats area of Manchester at night. I'd met this guy a couple of times before and he'd sort of ripped me off (shit gear + underweight) though was my last resort as I couldn't get in touch with anyone else. The guy pulled a chizzle on me and said he'd stab me if I didn't give him all my money (£20) tried to reason with him and he cut me on the shoulder so ended up giving him my bank card (that was broken anyhow) and he took off.. and I had to get a tram home with blood dripping down my shirt. Saw the same guy another time and he apologised, said he had been desperate for a rock, I told him I would have just given it him if he'd asked and not pulled a fucking tool on me.. I think he was out on remand and he tried to bribe me with a prostitute to not talk to the police and I went with him then though as he initially promised money "what the fuck am I doing?" I thought then ran away as fast as I could whilst he was bartering with a syphilitic looking woman. That encounter was part of why I left that city.
Manchester just fuels paranoia for me i'd say if trying to buy off a dealer I wasn't that familiar with there was a 50/50 chance of getting ripped off or worse.. though paying £50 for 5 bags of brown sugar was a low point, not to mention the fact I nearly got arrested minutes after i'd bought them.
Can anyone tell me of their dodgy experiences?
