Aunties and Uncles, help me see this.
Context: Went to a KTV in Geylang last month for a friend’s bachelor party. Got designated to this PRC hostess, let’s call her Angel (not her real name, obviously, her real name probably starts with Feng or Chun).
We exchanged WeChat because she was quite attentive and I bo bian, just politely scan QR code. After that night, I never text her at all because I not simping, and my wallet also not that fat.
Suddenly tonight at 9 PM, she video calls me out of nowhere. I didn’t pick up. Then she send me this voice message in that ultra-sweet, high-pitch Heilongjiang accent:
“Babe, did you forget about me? I miss you so much leh. Tonight business quite slow, you come down look for me can? Don’t worry about transport, you just book Grab, come down I pay for your Grab ride!”
Lao jiao brothers, please tell me this is the classic “sugar-coated bullet” (糖衣炮弹)?
She say she pay for Grab, but the moment I step into the luo ti (lounge), I guarantee you the minimum spend is one tower of Martell Cordon Bleu that costs $400. She reimburse me $20 for Grab, but I end up paying $400 for her commission. Win-win for her, absolute bankruptcy for me.
My friend say I should just book the Grab, take her cash reimbursement at the door, and then immediately turn around and take another Grab home. Fast game arbitrage profit.
Anyone encountered this tactic before? How to reply to maximize the troll?

u/KiasuGamer99 • 1h ago Bro, “I pay Grab” is the oldest trick in the book. It’s like Lazada giving you a $2 voucher but minimum spend is $100. If you go down, you are the biggest sotong.
u/StrawberryGenerational • 45m ago Do what your friend said. Take the Grab money, tell her you need to go toilet, then run out and buy McSpicy. Truly supreme ROI.
u/HuatAhBro • 30m ago You reply her: “Can, but my Grab is GrabHitch from JB, now peak hour surge $80. You PayNow me first then I move.” See her block you or not.
u/Sinkie_Justice • 15m ago If you need to ask this on Reddit, your defense mechanism very low. Next week we will see your post: “Accidentally spent $2000 on flowers at KTV, how to dispute with DBS?” Just block and delete la safe yourself the head-ache.
