Crying man on loudspeaker outside my hotel!?

Post by dogz8827 »

I would like to recount a very strange occurrence that happened to me four months ago.

I was in PP and someone placed a loudspeaker outside my hotel and started blaring very loud sounds. It was the sound of someone being tortured and begging for his life.

They kept following me with it, so I left the country.

Have you ever seen this happen before? What does it mean?

What? Like physically following you down the street? Was there a white tent or anything near by? Could of been a funeral, could of been a case of Ganzberg got somebody in their feelings.

Good thing you left the country instead of just changing hotels.

Probably a noodle seller's tannoy. They sound like someone being tortured.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I approved it. Besides being 'weird,' it didn't seem like a sock puppet/troll. I don't think it will win 'thread of the year' or anything though, lol.

Good question. Unfortunately Imgur is another entity entirely, so we can't control when they have it working or not. It's gone out a few times over the years, so hopefully they have it working again soon enough. We haven't changed anything on our end recently, so it shouldn't be anything on our end.
