lol the title of the article is “Passenger horrified”
Then the article:
Apparently it’s fine to do weird shit as long as there’s money involved
Honestly, the money makes it weirder imho. I think it's valid not to want someone to take a compliment the wrong way so you say it as you're leaving or in a context where it's clear you don't want anything from them, but being so extra about it is weird imho. Like, sure he didn't leave a number, but if he just casually complimented her that probably would have been fine and not weird at all. I imagine the note was an excuse to add the money, and he said open later to avoid her feeling weird about the money. It's his money he can ostensibly do what he likes with it, but I would feel at least a bit creeped out if someone randomly gave me money because they liked my appearance.
I hate articles that are essentially "we turned a tweet into an essay", but I don't think the takeaway is that money makes things less creepy.
Yeah, a note that just said your hair is amazing or whatever and have a nice day would have been way less weird I think.
More like "we let ChatGPT turn a tweet into an essay."
God, we'll really talk about anything won't we?
I obviously didn't read the article, so I have no idea if it was chatGPT, but I try to stay away from this kind of piece because it generally has little if any journalistic merit regardless of if it was AI or not.
Welcome to America!
It looked like the consensus in the comments was that he probably snipped some of her hair to take home with him without her noticing before giving her the note with the money in it
What is the difference between creepy and a hopeless romantic?
Money. Sometimes looks. But usually money.
I think it's actually chemistry. If you have chemistry with the person it probably won't be creepy. Now looks, and money, okay a part in chemistry but the two issue isn't ugly, poor people. It's people that don't seem to know it care if someone is in to them.
I often see people trying to reduce creepy/not creepy down to one variable, but I think it's at least two very broad categories: mutual interest and context.
Leaving my partner a surprise gift telling them I'll always be with them and will never leave is romantic. Doing the same to someone I've just met is terrifying.
The real take away is that the $100 indicates the weirdo is wealthy enough to just give her, a stranger, that money for no apparent reason. So if you are wealthy, doing weird stuff is fine.
