⚠️Friendship bracelets

◼️   If a smiling stranger says says “hi” and either places a colorful thread on your shoulder or forces a small souvenir of some sort in your hand, insisting that it’s a gift, it’s not. If you don’t assertively refuse after a few attempts, more friendly chatter ensues while swiftly showing you how a friendship bracelet is made, right on your wrist. They then claim to be out of cash and ask you for a generous price in return for the gift. It’s a slight hassle to take off. Sometimes, it’s also another form of distraction for accomplices targeting your back pockets.

✅ My tip 👇

🟢How to avoid: Simply refuse, say “no thanks” up front and don’t let them hand you anything. Shrug off anything placed on your shoulder.
