So according to my friends who visited Murrica for the pokemanz, there are:


1. People who distribute mixtapes in the street and demand to be paid if you take one
2. Hobos who steal phones under the pretense of borrowing, and chase you several blocks if you don't fork the phone over
3. Girls with tits the size of watermelons


Please confirm/deny the existence of these phenomena

    Wow, America sounds like a terrifying place.

    I'd still go just for point #3 though...

    1. I had someone try to "give" me their CD before, it's kind of a thing. Never happened once elsewhere, weirdly, but it's not nearly as funny as what you get in Europe.
    2. This happens everywhere there are people willing to steal phones, just with different flavours.
    3. You can find girls and boys of all shapes and sizes all over the world, dear.

    These are really things you'll find in any city in the world to varying degrees, to be honest. In NYC I mostly found people trying to sell tours and stuff of famous landmarks for extortionate prices. In Istanbul, it was all about expensive carpets. Singapore must be a truly bizarre place not to have busty ladies and phone stealing...

    In contrast, all 3 of these are illegal in Singapore

    Tits are illegal in Singapore?

    They're especially illegal.

    #1 varies. I've had so many mixtape forced into my hands for no price but I've heard of people who do it and try to charge.

    All true

    Though cities with a higher population density like NYC also make for a higher crazy density.

    I've had Hare Krishna monks try to shove books on enlightenment on me too.

    Our definition of busty is, like, B cup

    Apparently these were some ginormous tits that they were making fun of one guy for because he literally could not look away

    Also, dude, hobos are nonexistent in singapore, so hobos chasing you for your phone is literally unheard of

    Same. Also extremely passive aggressive Mormons and crazy evangelicals with huge signs in obnoxious fonts about how we're all going to Hell for not murdering every gay person.

    Dunno bout US, but 2 is my most vivid memory from age 16.

    Can confirm #1 and #3, and I'm only Canadian. But Imperial's right; population density and crazy density have a mathematical correlation.

    As for everyone going to hell, I've seen less of that, more, "Repent, for the end of days is upon us!"
    Strangely, we're all still breathing. Presumably.

    Actually, while I can't confirm 2, when I was in New York once, some guy screamed "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" and tackled me, straddled me, wrested my iPod from my hands and cut my headphones with heavy duty wire clippers. The kind you would see at Home Depot. Did he think my highly mainstream MP3 player was a bomb or something? I never figured it out. And when I tried to stand up, he just screamed again and pushed me back down. He didn't take the iPod either. After a while, he finally got off of me, and just sort of ran off. It sounds hilarious now that I'm writing about it but at the time it was honestly terrifying.
