7. Watching a grown man cry
Oh man, I worked at a hotel and convention center a few years ago. I was put on a security detail and had to walk around the event making sure folks weren’t fighting and doing stupid shit.
I witnessed a grown man break down and cry because his mom wouldn’t buy him this $700 action figure. He had to have been 26 at the least and he was on the floor rolling around, his mom trying to get him out of there quick.
8. “Good lord”
Can I be the cringe?
I cosplayed Naruto when I was 13 and a sasuke cosplayer who was 14 ‘made out’ with me — which was basically biting my mouth. It went semi-viral on youtube to the point where I was offered money.
I had forgotten about the video until that email, and then decimated my whole yt account when I was 15-16. Good lord, I was a horrible weeb. I have so many stories.
9. Flirting
Few years back my then-girlfriend was cosplaying Chell from portal at a con. It was mostly great, everyone and their mom wanted a photo with her. Except this one guy who decided to grill her on how much she really knew about portal. He was looking at her like he’d just found a unicorn, but she was pissed as hell that some stranger thought she needed to prove herself to him. I think he thought he was flirting.
