Re: asking a stranger to watch your stuff
 

Yeah, the only time I have done it is at the airport, while waiting for a delayed flight. Pretty sure that person wasn't going anywhere. But I guess you never know.

You could always ask another stranger to watch the stranger watching your stuff.

You should have went on to her computer and gone to MySpace to see if she had auto-login turned on and messed with her profile and then posted an awesome thread instead of this one.

Re: asking a stranger to watch your stuff
 

Actually I was joking...remember when the ticket agent would ask you "have your bags been in your possession since you've been at the airport?" Hit them with a "no" and see how they respond.

But if it's a choice between that and risking the chance that your "unattended baggage" getting confiscated...

"How many strangers does it take to watch my stuff?"

I have asked a total stranger(the dealer) to watch my chips one of the first times I played poker in a B&M, he and all the other players looked at me like I was a dweeb. I still feel better, when I leave the table for any length of time, to put a towel over them but I see much bigger stacks being left bare much longer on poker tables then I would be comfortable with. Almost as uncomfortable as my sentence structure above makes a reader feel, but I don't feel like changing it.

That's the absolutely worst idea ever. Whatever you do when you leave table and have your chips still there , make sure they're all in clear view of a camera. Covering them is a way to make sure that if someone does snatch a few casino won't be able to help you.

Re: asking a stranger to watch your stuff
 

I've watched people's stuff when they say they'll be gone for a minute or two. Any longer and I say "sorry, I'm gonna be heading out for a smoke soon".

When I work in my school's library I lock my laptop to the desk and lock Windows so no one will [censored] with it when I step out to smoke or use the bathroom.

Re: asking a stranger to watch your stuff
 

How do you lock the laptop to your desk?

Does anyone else besides this guy think this is a comeon?
What are the odds it is?
How to proceed?
Would you ever use this as a come on?

Re: asking a stranger to watch your stuff
 

Probably not a comeon since it happened at school and this comes up all the time.
