Money: Today, a girl-scout asked me to buy cookies, in front of Giant....

Today, a girl-scout asked me to buy cookies, in front of Giant. She looked nice, so I bought 5 boxes from her. She took the money and went home with her mom. I opened the boxes when I got home and realized that the boxes just had rocks in them. I got scammed by a girl-scout. FML

Today, a group of girl-scouts came to my door selling chocolate bars. I bought 2 bars and smiled as they left, thinking I'd done a good deed. When the door closed, I heard one of the girls say, "Told you, the fat bitches always wanna buy from us." FML

Today, I was walking through Borders with my girlfriend, when we pass a girl scout cookies stand. I see a box of Samoas, my favorite, point at them, and shout, 'YEAH'. My girlfriend looks shocked. Behind the box of cookies was a five year old scout bending over, with her bottom pointed at me. FML

Annoyed

Today, I was at work, about to go to lunch. There were some girl scouts out front selling cookies. I told my manager that I would be using a different exit, and when he asked why, I told him that girl scouts really annoy the crap out of me. The girl scouts out front were his daughters. FML

Today, I purchased a box of girl scout cookies from a coworker. I wanted to save them for later at home, so I placed them on my desk and then headed to a meeting. When I returned, there was an empty box sitting there with a post-it note saying, "Thanks!" Nobody will own up to it. FML

Today, I was at the mall, I saw a girl crying that her ice cream had fallen on the floor. Feeling generous, I bought her a new one. She threw it on the ground, laughed, and came over to her mom and told that I was bothering her, so the mom called security. FML

Today, I was selling winter-themed cookies at my university. I cheerfully asked a girl if she would like to buy cookies to support peer tutoring. Her response? "I don't eat food." FML

Today, as I walked out of the local store, I noticed a young girl was sitting on the curb, crying. I nudged her with the Snickers bar I had bought earlier, thinking she needed it more than me. After looking at it, she yelled, "PEDOPHILE!", punched me in the balls, and then ran away screaming. FML

Today, I saw a girl asking for money on the median of an entrance to a parking lot with her dog. Later, I bought a box of dog treats for her. I drove up and handed it to her. She rolled her eyes and said, "How the hell am I supposed to carry that?" I sat there in stunned disbelief with the box she refused to take. FML

Today, while buying groceries, I noticed that the lady in front of me had left a box behind. I grabbed the box and ran out the door after her. After turning around to find three employees chasing me, I noticed I had just stolen the donation box. FML

Today, I got a package containing a present from my grandma. It was a pack of cookies someone gave her for her birthday, and which no one in the family wanted to take home when she offered, because we all found the cookies disgusting. FML

Hate to say it man, but if you can't tell a box of cookies from a box of rocks, you deserved it. :p

I don't see the problem with the rocks...? They're way tastier than cookies anyways... Now if you'll excuse me, I have to roll down Death Mountain and groan about Dodongos being in my cavern.

Okay a few points have to be made here. 1. Small lightweight rocks can be distributed in the tray to feel the same as a box of cookies. And I'm sure they had a real box and a scale for comparison. 2. Girl scouts (and scouts in general) have earned an honest reputation...you'd have to be pretty paranoid if the first thing you think of is to check the box after you buy it. 3. With the right technique and adhesive, you can reseal a container without anyone being the wiser. 4. She was WITH her mother, making the situation even less likely to appear bogus (her mom most likely orchestrated the whole thing). 5. Expecting the OP to be able to scrutinize the outfit to know if the scout was fake? Come on! If you've been around them or have been one yourself...maybe. Either way, it's really screwed up.

okay really now...i get what everyone is saying about rocks vs cookies... believe me i do... but really now who would honestly put like 5 pounds of rocks into a single box of cookies i mean really now 58... i'd be a little peeved... about getting rocks...and 63... what is so hard to grasp about a butter knife some glue and a couple rocks... its all about weight distribution... 45... America is huge... and ive only seen a couple hundred miles of it... and still no sign of giant...now when you throw the entirety of the world into this... i mean really... giant is not going to be a wide topic of discussion...
