A plane traveller recently shared a post on Facebook reminding people to be careful and wary of over-friendly people on board the plane as international travel is resuming soon.

The story she shared was about how someone almost became used for drug trafficking and almost ended up into trouble with the law.

Here is the story

“Beware as the sky’s open for travel .

If you travel by air a lot, beware of over friendly chatty seat neighbours.

The older lady comes and sits next to me inside the plane. She asked me to help her put her bag in the overhead luggage compartment.

But a gentleman sitting across quickly came through. (I am not very tall and the overhead luggage compartment is something I try to avoid at all costs.

Immediately she sits down she strikes up a conversation. She was very pleasant and well spoken. So we chatted all through the flight to Dubai.

Suddenly, when the pilot announced that we were now proceeding to begin our descent into DXB, my good friend ‘developed’ stomach pains.

Me with my good heart, I pressed the stewards button, and the stewardess came to find out what the problem was. I told her my seat mate was not feeling well. And this lady, she suddenly began to address me as ‘my daughter’.

The stewardess told me that there was nothing they could do except give her some painkillers and wait until we landed.

The pilot announced that we had a medical emergency on board and advised us all to stay calm. My new friend was crying and sweating like crazy. And she refused to let go of my hand… everyone assumed we knew each other.

So we landed at DXB and the same gentleman who helped put up her luggage in the overhead compartment removed her luggage. But as he removed the luggage, he advised me to distance myself from this lady and make it clear to the cabin crew that we were NOT travelling together. He was a godsend!

So indeed, the cabin crew came and asked me if we were related, I categorically told them we had met on the plane. I didn’t know her at all.

So we began to deplane and as I said goodbye she kept begging me to carry her handbag. I was so torn… but the gentleman looked me in the eye and emphatically shook his head. He passed me a note telling me to let the cabin crew handle her.

So I exit the aircraft and leave my ‘new friend’ to wait for the wheelchair and be handled by the cabin crew feeling very guilty.

As we waited for our luggage to come through, I hear this commotion. My ‘new friend’ was running, trying to escape the cabin crew, having gotten out of the wheelchair! She left the stewardess with her handbag and just ran towards the exit with the rest of her hand luggage!

Luckily the airport police were faster than her. They got hold of her and brought her back in handcuffs.

This lady starts calling out to me.. my daughter… my daughter!.. how could you do this to me….. that’s when I caught on. She was carrying drugs and she was trying to implicate me!

Luckily for me, the gentleman who had helped her with her luggage came forward and told the airport police that me and her had just met on the plane. The police took my passport and asked her to reveal my full names if it was true we were travelling together.

By God’s grace, I had not even told her my first name! I was still asked to follow the police to a little room where I was questioned extensively. Where did I meet her?… where did I board… where did she board. Etc… And my luggage was extensively searched and dusted for fingerprints.
They dusted all her luggage and my fingerprints were not found anywhere on her luggage or on her handbag!

I was let go with advice never ever to touch anyone’s luggage either in flight or at the airport. So from that day, I don’t care how much luggage you have, you will deal with it yourself. I will not even offer you a trolley to put your luggage on!

Your luggage… your problem…. is my policy. And if you can’t reach the overhead compartment, and I am the nearest person, please call the cabin crew because all I will do is give you a blank stare and then look away!

A lesson to glean therein for intending air travelers.”

A mother recently shared a story with us on how their son managed to outsmart his sister to get more money in an experiment that they conducted.

Here is the story

“We have two lovely kids, a boy and a girl which I would name them H and L respectively for story sharing purposes.

My boy (H), is 8 years of age while my girl (L) is 6 years of age.

My husband and I would at times come up with experiments to aid in developing their critical thinking skills and also to observe their personality.

The task of the experiment this time round required them to talk the other party into agreeing to take lesser share of the ‘prize money’ we prepared.

We took out $61.50 in total in denominations of a $50 bill, a $10 bill, a $1 coin and a 50 cent coin.

Both had to try to convince each other on who should keep which denomination of the money and why.

Note that H is a little older and have more concept of money as compared to L.

H thought for a while and told L that she should take the $10 note because the Red character in the PowerPuff girls, Blossom, is the leader and by taking the $10 note she can be a leader.

He would have to take the $50 because the blue character is Bubbles, and Bubbles follows her leader Blossom.

When it came to the $1 and the 50 cent coin, H immediately told L that since he took the bigger note in size just now, he will let her have the bigger coin in size now which is the 50 cent (Coins belonged to the flora 2nd series).”

I gave birth before married and i have a son from my previous marriage. My husband have a sweet decent face which people thought he is decent type. But he is actually an ex convict for drugs. I’m the type who dont judge people’s past and easily accept that person

Before married, he was sweet to my son . Then when i gave birth to my daughter, he start to control and name calling me. I was having depression during my confinement. I was unemployed and no source of income. Eventually i turn to SSO for financial help. Within 6 months of sso help. I got married. Was happy and blessed to be able to marry my secondary school crush. After 3 days of our wedding, my husband start accusing me having an affair and cheated on me whereas i dont. I was busy handling my infant and trying to do homebased business to support him. On nov 2019, he got into an accident but his family accused me gotten in into an accident. Truth is, he lied to me and followed his colleagues to grab some illegal substances. I wasn’t aware of such things. We received baby bouns but that too he controlled

My sso ended on jan 2020 and my husband was unemployed. We was struggling and took up any part time job to continue our lives together. The accusing, name calling and abusin starts to happen. He started threatening to divorce me and told me that i will be single forever as he will spread all unnecessary rumours about me. I remain quiet as i dont want to ruin my marriage. Before circuit breaker, i found out he help his elder sister to pay for drugs which makes me furious with him. He didnt side me but he sided his sister instead. The name calling and accusation starts to worsen.

My sso was approved after 4 months. Thats when he stops giving maintenance. He asked me to use the money given to buy groceries. As a wife , i didnt argue back as i knew whenever i argue back, he will starts to dig out my past and name calling. He starts his full time job on february and he control my daughter’s babybonus again.

I always assumed he was honest till on june, i was about to wash his pouch till i found meth substance in his pouch. When i asked him, he deny it his. He apologised and promised that he wont do it again. Again, i forgive him and try to change his addiction. Day by day, his addiction worsen. His s addicition worsen till he wants more than thrice per night. Whenever i object, he will start accusing me sleeping around with guys. Which i did not. .

I got some financial help till we received a 3 months free wifi. We install cctv in the house for him to spy on me. He will video call every 30mins to see what i’m doing. He gave me a time of 20mins to fetch my kids from Childcare. I started to save some of my sso help for future used.

Ever since we married till now, he didnt give me monthly maintenance. He even said, ” u got sso money , why i want to give u? U and your mom money face!” A few days back, he wasn’t asleep for 2 nights. And he have this habit of checking my phone and tablet. And he will ask question that he already asked. He went out from the house pretending to go to work. When both me and my mom went out to send the kids to childcare. He quickly enter my mother’s house ( he got keys ) to grab his belongings and my phone. He texted me stated that we divorcing and i am not giving u any money. I want to see if u can survive without me. I hope u and the kids rot in hell.

I replied back, ok let’s divorce. I cant stand having a toxic husband and live my life miserably as life is too short. I dont want to fall into depression. And not to worry, i wont rot . I make sure that both my kids lead to a happy lifes ahead of them.

He got frustrated and he tried to reconcile the marriage BUT he didnt stop name calling. He asked me to selfie and video call him every 30mins. And he forced me to selfie with my mom. When my mom was in the toilet, he asked me to took a photo of of my mom. So i took a video of myself talking to my mom infront of the toilet door. My mom burst in anger and scolded him vulgarities. Which angered him more.

2 nights before, he whatapp me showing that he whatsapp a lawyer to divorce me without giving any maintenance. Which then triggered me to report him to the authorities regarding his drug addiction. My social worker told me to get a ppo and removed his name from CC. Quickly file a divorce at syariah. He was furious i reported on him. And he tried to reconcile. Which i only take my report back if he signed the agreement that he will go counselling and rehab. He objected and he quickly blocked me at all social media. He then told me that he will report to sso that i misused the money for enjoyment. Which i dont as i saved those money for important used . Alhamdullilah that Allah shows me his evil and heartless attitude. Alhamdullilah that i am able to remove a toxic person in my life. I am blessed that my family supported me to help look after the kids as i will be starting my part time job soon.

I did told my husband whom going to be an ex husband soon, with or without u , i am strong enough to stand on my 2 feet and i will saves up enough cash for another 10 years to buy my own bto house with my kids. I will ensure that my kids have sufficient things to allow them able to study and complete their education.

Currently he is paranoid and having a delusions about CNB raiding his house. He even blamed me and threatened to sue me when his mom had a fall at their home. Which humour me as i am at home taking care of my kids and busy crocheting some bags to sell online.

A girl shared a story of her brother’s recent new dark secret.

Here is the story

“My brother and I are 6 years apart, and we share a very close relationship growing up.

Dad had passed on since we were young and mum was always out working to support us, hence most of the time there was only my bro and I in the house.

We would always enter each other’s room to disturb one another.

Recently, my brother has been refusing me entry to his room without telling me why and only claiming that it is messy.

He would even lock the room if he have to leave home.

This made me very curious as to what dark secret was he hiding inside.

I did not go to work one day as I was feeling a bit unwell so I slept in when all of a sudden, I heard noises coming from my bro’s room

Those ‘noises’ sounded like he was enjoying himself and having fun which obviously I know what he was doing.

He must have thought that I wasn’t home.

I came out and noticed that his door was left slightly ajar so my curious mind led me to go and peek at what secret was he hiding.

Turns out that my brother had actually placed posters of different types of ‘biology’ actresses pictures on his wall and he was ‘beating the aeroplane’ to them.”

A netizen shared a story about how his girlfriend made him sh**t inside her to get her pregnant then used the pregnancy to force him to pay her car loan.

Here is the story:

“I had s*x with my girlfriend and during climax, I wanted to pull out but she held on to me and I ended up c*mming inside her.

She said that she was too in the moment and that’s why she held on to me, but I clearly told her that I was about to c*m.

A few weeks later, she told me that she missed her period and went to get a pregnancy test kit and found out that she was pregnant.

She then used her pregnancy as leverage to make me get a loan for her.

She wanted me to get a loan for her so that she could pay off her car loan, she basically wants to pay off a loan with another loan but wants me to get the loan instead.

She kept saying that I got her pregnant and that this is my responsibility.

She was the one who didn’t let me pull out and now she’s dumping all her loans and debts to me.

What the f**k happened… How the f**k did we get here…

Please tell me what I should do?”

Editor’s note: Well bro, should’ve used a condom…

In order to save more money try to use shop backs and credit cards to redeem some points.

There are a few credit cards that are best suited for travelling.

A man shared his story about his sisters fanatic behaviour that made her broke the law by stealing his credit card.

Here is the story:

I have a sister that is 17-years-old she always love k-pop stuff, I don’t know much about it. But what I know is she took my credit card and went on a online shopping spress of over $3,000.

I did not realised she took my credit card until I saw the bills at the end of the month.

I managed to refuned some of the items to recover some of the money lost in the credit card but I’m still pissed. She begged me not to tell our parents and said that she will pay me back the rest.

The mother is already questioning why there are so many parcels coming to the house, I told my sister that she has no way to return me the money as she is still schooling and not working.

I eventually told my mom about it and my mom was so pissed and that she took all of her K-pop merchandise and wanted to threw it down the bin. I stopped my mom and said that I can sell them to recover the money used in the credit card.

My sister had no choice but to surrender all her K-pop items to me so I can sell them to pay my credit card debt.

This is the story of how i became a carouseller.
