How is this different from the assholes that spread these as "tips"?
Those cannot be reasonably mistaken for real currency. Carefully so, even.
This person allegedly (from his own mouth) intentionally passed off paper convincing enough to be used in films, as real currency, to people with a high likelihood of mental illness, in the express desire to trick them into using it as real currency so that they get arrested.
Who knows if any of this is true, but from the asses' own mouth, that's a world of difference in intent.
You're right that no one would think they were real. When i worked at McDonald's the bastards would pay this at the back window and try and zoom forward and get their food from the next window before the confused money taker could let the person handing out the food know lol
Not that anyone thought it was real though. You're definitely still correct
The people who pass these out are huge assholes...but do honestly need it explained to you why tricking a homeless person into using fake money so they are arrested is not the same as some religious nutter attempting to trick you into reading their proselytization?
You just activated my fight or flight
I think the venn diagram closely resembles a single circle.
What a weird coincidence. I posted this same image in an entirely different thread yesterday.
Well, it was the best pic I could find in Google. :)
Right, but it was on a totally different subject. Religious "tippers" in restaurants.
Maybe not totally different. Both discussions are about self-righteous people being assholes to others.
