Turns out it wasn't what you were expecting?
For example, I saw this store called "The Gaming Matrix", and I thought it was a video game store. So I ask Hero if we could go there today, and we did.
It was a D&D and LARPing store. I saw men ages 30-40 playing... Magic the Gathering. The moment I saw the foam swords and shields, I felt... very uncomfortable... especially considering the fact that I was the only female in that store, and some people were staring at me. I practically shoved my husband out of the store when I saw bottles of "Mana" for sale.
It was scary.
Got any scary stories?

Awesome. xD
I once got out a Phonebook and called a place in the White Pages called 'Gamesky' thinking it was a game store... It ended up being a family home :O

They'll put businesses like Gamespot that aren't in the Yellow Pages in the White Pages, so I thought it must just be missing from the Yellow Pages, perfectly reasonable since Gamespot was only in the White Pages.
My cousin tried calling the movie theater but the number in the phonebook was for a phone sex hotline.

I'm glad that hasn't happened to me... yet.
But there was a story I hard about that in a certian state, they made these duck stamps, and they put a phone munber on it that was mean't for donations to a conservaton fund. It turned out to be a sex hotline. To think a state DNR accidentally had this big of a slip up.Quote from: Redpaige13 on February 22, 2009, 01:02:27 AM

At least you didn't find out when it was too late...
I went into a small card shop that seemed not to be much at all in Chinatown. It turned out to have a hidden Internet café / LAN Party in the back with really nice computers.
One time when I went to Las Vegas, they had a shop where they sold like model airplanes/cars right next to a "gentleman's club". :D
whats D&D and LARPing?
Well, at a grocery store, a random deaf kid came up to me and started saying random jibberish to me. That's unexpected. :O

Dungeons and Dragons and Live Action Role Playing.
Been to one of those stores, Red. Not scary, the employees were too busy playing D&D to notice any customers.

Dungeons and Dragons is a very involved tabletop role playing game with a huge library (literally, over 30 books) of rules and expansions. One of the most insanely-thought-out and open games ever.
LARPing is going out at night with foam swords (or nothing, doesn't matter) and go on a quest or something that doesn't exist. Basically, it's the same as "make-believe" but adult-ized.

I've played D&D before. It's fun if you don't take it totally seriously.

But it is fun if your DM has a sense of humor. Once someone wouldn't stop moving around, so the DM made the character trip and roll 1d4 for damage. It's also fun when the DM keeps up with insane party members...like one time, we were supposed to be going into a city, but one person wanted to disguise themselves in a bedsheet from a house that was not planned out at all. Best improv session ever.
