I was on a site earlier and saw someone's location was in the same city as the main eater drop box. I spent maybe 20 minutes checking their profile and posts to see if they were a baiter. I'm still undecided.

My art of slapping is so refined people are afraid to talk to me.

I yelled at my better half when she sent a email from outlook, through our actual home email address. I said, 'Don't do that, they'll see our IP.' - I really didn't care it was to her sister.

The other day I was driving to the shop singing a nonsense rhyme with only the word 'Modality', followed by another song titled 'Mr.Mugu'.

If I'm going anywhere I refer to my travels as safari.

Whenever I see the number 49, and I have a pen handy I always add a '1' in between.

And whenever anyone tells me they are a Nurse, I always do a silly giggle and then try and save the moment with a 'what a great job'.

I love baiting.

The other day I was out shopping clothes for my littlun, and on display at the store was a lot of shirts and trousers with safari themes...
I had to leave the store in a fit of giggles Laughing

I've also just started in a new job at the receivables/payables dept. of a large freight company, and I can't help myself checking the invoices an extra time just to make sure it doesn't mention anything about WU or MG Embarassed

When your doctor's secretary asks you who Mr G0mer is. Embarassed

Some people still use my landline which is set up with an answerphone to take incoming calls from lads (using a secure redirect), and they usually get the standard Mr G0mer message.

Use my mobile number, like I told you.

When I was at the horse racing track last month, I bet on Eater and baiting related names. Like: African Storm, New Member, Lyin' Heart, Run Away And Hide, and Vladimira. Only 1 win there...
And I got really pissed off when "Jellyroll" Rumble was scratched!! Evil or Very Mad

You find your passport is covered in shampoo and immediatly think "thats a good idea for not sending id " not "aaaarh I'm going on holiday in a week will it still be useable?"

This isn't technically related to baiting, but it's related to sitekilling. Close enough. was on campus yesterday and saw a job posting for some software writing position. I stood there for a minute or two and was like, there HAS to be a check mule job somewhere in this listing. Why don't they have a website listed?? Then I was like, oh. This is RL. Razz

When you see a Western Union sign and you giggle like a schoolgirl thinking about your lad in some distant Western Union office realising there is nothing there for him.

When you see the ads for MoneyGram on TV and wonder when they're going to show a line of scammers going in and out.

Yep, every time I go to my grocers, I end up picking up the WU pamhplet in a dozen languages... just because it has a nice WU logo on the front. And whenever I see a WU logo outside a building, I scan around for potential lads. Confused

When you read every sign being held up by people waiting for passengers at the airport hoping to see "Phil Mckrackin".

I was watching Sesame Street with my son and the segment was some kids on a safari looking for the letter Z. They were wearing pith helmets, and instead of associating it with my son learning his letters, all I could think about was that my son was getting an early education in scambaiting.

I didn't use to notice WU signs, but now I see them everywhere! Shocked

One other sign I've been doing this for a long time was that I once had a dream where I was walking around Lagos, looking at all of the people there and wondering just how many of them were "lads".

I had an email from UPS this afternoon quoting a tracking number ending with 419 5.
"Yeah, yeah", I thought. A lad getting his own back. Then "Hang on, this went to my RL email addy". Reread the email, recognised the name of a company I'd ordered from three weeks ago, and realised it was legit.

Posted: Tue Sep 09, 2008 9:07 pm

oh, look another one

I wonder how many I missed since RL got a hold on me?

I recently received a large sum of money (medical compensation) and I got an email from the ministry of health confirming I had recieved it. My response.

"I have recieve your message and its contents are well noted. Regards to the transaction I have receive the funds"

I only realised when they replied with "thanks" what I had written.

You know you've scambaited too long when:

Your room gets filled with all the trophies sent to you.
You have enough fake checks to pay off the world's debts.
You left a tip for $4.19 at your last dinner and chuckled.
While doing a dolla chop, during a broadcast of Gomer Pyle and laughing harder than normal

.. when you read a thread like this: http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=147765 and when they're talking about the 'dark hole', 'ur mama stinky toto' is the first to come to mind.

when you keep trying to login at work with your scambaiting email password...over and over insisting to yourself it's right.

*shakes fist*

When you reply to a RL used car ad that you're actually interested in, stating that you would like to assist them but you are too busy organizing musical scholarships for young talents in third world countries.

My brother asked me last evening to open an e mail account for him.I told him no problem,how many accounts does he need?he had no clue why anyone needed more than one.It confused me till I realized most people don't have 9 or 10 e mail accounts.Thankfully,he understands and supports my baiting,and the odd habits that seem to come with it.Like laughing whenever I see a WU sign.
