Day 109..#”Hey girl..Do you wanna buy a tv?”
So I was walking home from school today..after getting off the bus..and there was a man..standing in front of a store..and as I was walking past he grabbed my arm and asked in Portuguese..”Hey girl, do you want to buy a tv?”
Now on a normal day I would have been quick to pull my arm away and tell the person not to touch me *some people in Portugal have a habit of just grabbing you when you’re walking past if they feel like it*..but today I found it greatly amusing..
It wasn’t the fact that he grabbed me that I thought funny..it was the fact that he had a 32″ flat screen tv that he was hiding..and he was waiting for people to walk past to grab them and then offer them this shady purchasing opportunity..
I was actually laughing hysterically. In the street.
He was trying to hide the tv behind his legs and the wheelie bin and it just looked so ridiculous I couldn’t stop laughing!
I politely declined the invitation and walked on home..

Fast forward a couple of hours and I went to the store to buy some groceries for dinner.
I was walking back to my apartment and there was what looked like a discarded fridge/freezer outside some apartments..moments later a man jumped out from behind it and found himself in front of me!
I screamed..because I wasn’t expecting anything to be jumping out at me from behind a fridge/freezer..and to be honest..I almost took off down the street..I thought it was some sort of animal..lol!
He started smiling at me and speaking in Portuguese..I politely told him I don’t understand what he is saying and he asked me *in Portuguese* if I spoke spanish..I said no..french..no..Italian? No..English? I nodded..
“My English no good”
“That’s okay”..I said smiling..and I started to walk on by..
“Girl, hey..do you want buy kitchen?”
“Excuse me?” I responded.
“You want buy?” He pointed to the fridge..I burst out laughing.
Then I realised it was the same guy from earlier on who tried to sell me the TV!

*I wonder where he gets this stuff from..*

So did you buy the tv and kitchen lol? It was just your lucky day 🙂
no..lol..I have both already..lol
This was a very funny..random day..I can’t remember a day since I’ve been here that I’ve laughed that hard for no reason!
I’m sure that the refrigerator one was quite alarming. 🙂
I should have filmed it! Or taken a picture! Seriously! lol
That’s immense! This sounds like a comedy skit in the making! 🙂
I so have to state that this is *not* a daily occurance for me! lol
It’s just hysterical! It makes me think of the Barras, this dodgy but famous market place in Glasgow… he he! 🙂
Lol!
my vote is that he legally purchased them from a store, to resell them, just to be nice in offering the convenience to buyers so they don’t have to waste time in the store. What a nice spirited guy!
looooool…okay..we can go with that story! 😛
i think that guy stays quite busy trying to sell hot items……lol
I think so too! But where does he get these things from?!
i have just nominated you for the versatile award!
Thank you Terry!
I will get round to it next week! Thanks again!
Too funny! Glad you are safe though.
Thanks! I think this was hands down one of the funniest days I’ve had since being here!
