Mine: Once had a meeting with a guy that wanted to be a Starlink distributor in a developing country. His first time in country, had just arrived like 24 hours before. Knew nothing and no one. No idea why he wanted to talk to me, but, whatever…
Wanted to have his “business partner” in on the meeting, and called some douche that talked for 5 solid minutes about how he could see the Cape Kennedy launch tower from his window and whatever else about how amazing he was and so tied in to Elon and all this BS. Called long distance on a real phone line to the States. Not WhatsApp, not even a VOIP or Wifi calling call. I watched him dial +1… he had a local SIM.
Turns out neither of them even knew which ministry they would need to start with to get a permit for satellite internet service. They just wanted to sell dishies in country and had no idea how to even start a business locally. Didn’t look at a single thing online before coming out. They didn’t even know about local content policies that effectively meant they needed a local business to sponsor them. I sat and searched online with the guy and showed him everything they needed to see, which was on 1 website.
This was before COVID, and the country only got Starlink 2 years ago.
One time I was walking home at night, super drunk and high, walking in circles for hours. At one point some idiots started following me, acting tough but only really being brave enough to walk a couple of metres behind me.
At one point one of them yelled “You’re fucked now! We know where you live!”
Dude, I don’t even know how to get home myself.
“Can you tell me? I’m lost!”
What do you even do knowing where some rando lives? Like, you can go to any house, wait for someone to come out and know the same thing.
Poor home owners of that house where they think you live. Maybe they robbed them or worse.
It was in a street of apparentment buildings and I didn’t even walk towards any particular entrance at that point. Besides, the guys were idiots trying and failing to make themselves seem scary. I was high as a kite, barely standing and I still fought them off when they got close.
lol, big fail
