It's the oldest tranny pick-up line in the book. "Hey handsome, help me with my bag?"

look, you either think this is suspicious or you don't.

if you do, contact the police.

if you don't, leave it be.

those are your two sane options; you're welcome.

if that was the entire story then yeah, we'd all be saying the same thing here

"hello, on multiple occassions different people have asked me to carry a bag to a certain location and it's pretty suspicious, could you have someone trained to deal with this check it out"


Haha. Have you ever had to deal with a Korean police officer? They aren't trained to do anything.

The first time I saw one was in Itaewon. Tall, slender guy with a lot of makeup on and a glittery cocktail dress. Looked like he was on his way to work.

The second time, I sat next to three transvestites at the Hello Kitty Cafe in Hongdae. They were complaining about their parents not understanding their lifestyle choice and how much they dreaded their upcoming military service.

Unless they're all giving him the same location, and it's unlikely that they're telling him the truth about where they're going, the story is "in a giant metropolitan city at different times people have come up to me and asked me to help them carry a heavy bag. Each time I've declined and carried on about my day. "
It's still a pretty weak story.


It's a bag full of . . . human heads!

Maybe they just want to offer to buy you a beer as a reward for your kindness.

Nice one. Good humorous thread in general.

You must not be very familiar with South Korean law enforcement.

This happened to me and my friend across the street from McDonalds...

She got excited when she heard he was from England, and then she asked for help with her bag...And then she asked if we knew of a hotel and if we could help guide her to it.

And she had a teenaged boy with her and said he was her son and they had just arrived in the country.

When we said no, she asked if they could stay at his house for a night.............................

I still have no idea what any of that was about.

I couldn't be that she and her son were going to rob him while he slept, could it?
