I'm so terribly obsessed with reading and listening to con horror stories. I feel so lucky I've never experienced anything too terrible !

[@ysncv979]

Convention stories so horrific that even the Pikachu in the bottom corner is horrified!

That beggar guy reminds me of this creepy neighbour I had as a kid. Apparently when I was a baby, he kept wanting to chat with Mum all the time, probably because he was lonely, but eventually she refused to keep talking to him - she had other matters (i.e. me!) to attend to! He got cross about this and when some friends came over one day, she overheard him grumbling about how she and Dad had "friends with posh cars" whom they preferred socialising with over him. When I was a kid, he did some very weird and intrusive things, like getting a chair and looking over our fence, and we had to call the police once. He died years ago, but much like the beggar, he didn't seem to realise being obnoxious and creepy was the real reason people didn't do what he wanted.

The person shaking you down was a drug addict. They get like that. Call the cops when you are distance and tell them he is physically harassing convention goers and they will can him for 24 hours, or make him leave at a minimum. The cops have orders to keep the bad creeps AWAY from big cons as that is where the city gets its big moola.

"don't touch people"

[@maskedfoxx7173]

I'm such a little snark. If a bum started shouting at me for not giving him money I would have busted him up with all sorts of "The power of 'please'" and 'not with that attitude' and stuff.

[@maskedfoxx7173]

Tbh I would have responded to the beggar with, "I would if you were polite about it."

[@grimsonsouls855]

Oh god that guy begging you for money reminds me of a man outside of Matsuricon last year. He legit would walk up to any and every person asking for money, even chasing after people in the far distance causing a group of people just taking photos outside to feel the need to go back inside.

[@lizziemarie1094]

Omg I think I know who you're talking about at youmacon, my friends and I were there for 2016 and there was a guy outside the RenCen who asked one of the con goers for some money and he told him he didn't have any then some money fell out his pocket and the guy who was begging for money got mad and was like "COMIC BOOK PEOPLE AIN'T REAL ANYWAY" or something like that it was crazy 😭

[@fullmetal1666]

Be careful if you ever go to downtown Dallas. For example, Afest is in Dallas and there are a lot of homeless people asking for money. I'd recommend keeping your debit card and a bit of cash. If you carry card, I'd recommend learning how to use Samsung or Apple pay to buy stuff with debit. That way you won't lose your card when you lose your wallet

[@edr3158]

I remember sometime last year I had to threaten to call the Cops on a begger lady who would not leave me alone after i mentioned to her that I didn't have money to give. Bye the way, this wasn't at any convention. I was just waiting for a bus to go to the movie theater. But your begger story makes mine look like a walk in the park in NYC.

RIP YOUR TOE

[@Sneyfuwheyfu]

Idk what it is that makes me want to listen to con horror stories... I find them funny, and very informational at the same time i guess <3 This was both funny and informational/

[@turnersgauge3430]

Lol I live in a city where a lot of homeless individuals are very vocal. I’m pretty use to toning them out and ignoring them. But I understand that not everyone is use to that. For example my suburban friends are usually very taken aback by homeless people or just people in general calling them out in the middle of the street when visiting. I try to help them out by ignoring the ruckus but my one poor friend just can’t take her eyes off of odd encounters and situations, thus causing more of a reaction from the homeless ppl making the commotion X’D

[@kaijunasan4497]

I had an experience like the beggar once, it was not at a con but several years back mom and i had won tickets for an early access to the star wars rogue one movie. As we waited outside it got cold and dummy me didn't bring a sweater DX Seeing it was at a outside mall i had to take the time to head to the shops and found an old navy but on the way a man was asking for donations and i simply said i had nothing on me, only the money i was given to find a jacket. Well i buy one (old navy expensive as HECK) and as i did not know the area i had to walk past the man again who OF COURSE then proceeds to point out i could buy a fancy jacket and guilt tripped me into giving my last few cents.. I honestly actually felt threatened.

[@doukzu]

Oof that beggar one, yeah... Big oof.

[@aefaux]

Shoulda been like “oh so you have money for weed but choose to harass people?”

[@whyborn3056]

As for the money beggar, I lived in San Fran and I’ve experienced it too. I regret giving them money.

[@ashleydougherty863]

Okay the Detroit story first I would have gone up to con security and explained what happened or I honestly would have called the cops if I honestly felt my life was in danger.

[@AshUkihime]

Wish I heard about traveling in group 4 years ago I had a few experiences where people would try to start with me and when I snap at them for provoking me they try to switch it up and act like they're a victim for getting the opposite of what they expected me to do for them pissing me off and they'd try to change tbe narrative of what happened and also use very little screenshots to push a false narrative instead of the whole screenchat because they know it will hurt their objective of them trying to paint me as the bad person. I've been doing group Hangouts at cons this year and I don't regret it one bit.
