    In a long dumb story I once went to jail over a speeding ticket that was a day late.

    The two cops couldn’t believe they had to arrest me for it and the jail was so backed up I was there for four days.

    I was still a teenager and terrified, but I put on a face and told every joke I’d ever heard to get by. My last morning there My bunkmate found me so entertaining he offered me a free prostitute, which I had to very politely decline.

    … Just say thank you? You don’t need to follow through with their offer to acknowledge their appreciation.

    For some reason I imagined MS13 having a super courteous hotline with corporate help desk people for their hitmen.

      Lol just ICA style Diana Burnwood answers the phone. You’re like “my upstairs neighbor is pretty loud I guess, idk, never done this before.” That night, he disappears off the face of the planet.

      “Contract complete 47, good work”

      Meanwhile the police are casually questioning you about if you’ve seen him recently.

      It would really help me out if you could take care of the elderly. All of them. I know you can do this because you’re a soldier.

      like unironically though, i feel like at least some gangsters could be set on an at least slightly better path if the nurse that saved their life asked that they make fewer people die rather than more

    You tell them that you need them to take care of themselves. You can handle the emotional baggage that their thug life is going to get them so hurt you won’t be able to save them one day.

    Helped a guy once on the bus who went through a terrible time. Turned out he was a gang member and offerd me something similar. I said thank you and asked him to return the favor in a similar way I did with him to an other stranger.
