I was in the GATE program in 1st grade. Once a week pulled from class, go to a special class with a random "teacher", computers lined up against the wall and had us listen to the program on the computer with giant grey headphones telling me to "relax ,...

Chirara twins, Craig and Carel, who are based in the Netherlands, have been exposed on a Zimbabwean community platform on Reddit. They are being accused of scamming several people, including some of their own friends and former schoolmates from Zimbabwe. Carel attended St John's College and Craig attended St George's College, where they both completed high school in 2016. According to the allegations, they usually target old friends. After reconnecting with them, they ask to borrow money and promise to pay it back. However, once they receive the money, they start giving excuses and avoid repaying it. One of the alleged victims shared: I can share my story with the twins. I got scammed too. I knew them from back in high school in Harare. Carel was my friend. Moved to NL for studies. One day Craig added me on Instagram, so I asked him to connect me with his brother. Coincidentally, I happened to be moving to Rotterdam too. When I moved here, they greeted me and my partner with open arms, inviting us over to their place and telling us stories about their lives over the years we had been disconnected (most of which are probably lies now in retrospect). They really emphasized how happy they were to have people they knew from back home in their lives, community and such. After that, we ended up seeing them quite often. They introduced me to their friends and made an effort to show off their lifestyle, etc. One day, similar to the others, I got a phone call from Carel telling me a story about issues with his international account. He needed money transferred to his account and said he would give me cash. Luckily, it was only โ‚ฌ600. I agreed because I thought I was helping my friend of 12 years out. And who would try to dodge paying back a friend who knows where they live? So I waited for the transfer for over a week. To be honest, I regretted it the minute I sent the money, but I thought, โ€œHe's my friend, I should be able to trust him.โ€ It was then that Reddit posts from others who had similar experiences started appearing, along with a mysterious website exposing them. The moment I realised how badly I had messed up was when my friend, a successful programmer whom I had introduced to them once, gave me a call. He said Craig had called him, claiming he had been hacked and needed assistance. He then went on to ask him for โ‚ฌ400. He also revealed that they had called him every few months after I introduced him to them, asking whether he wanted to work for their company and invest in a stake. After that, I went through social media trying to find every person they had ever introduced me to, and I was shocked to discover that they had all had similar experiences. It's horrifying to see two young Zimbabwean men with so much potential waste it this way. Shame on you!

I remember taking a trip to Florida in my teens. We were sightseeing , new to the area. I was just enjoying the sun and the warm weather for once, I didnโ€™t expect to see anything out of the ordinary. It finally hit me as we were enjoying a drink on the water, we see what looks like a floating log. Our friend who owned the boat said to keep our eyes open and donโ€™t freak out, as long as we were in the boat we were fine. Just hearing that alone was almost panic inducing because he didnโ€™t tell us what we were supposed to be careful of. When the โ€œlog drifted under the water, I finally understood what it was that we were looking at. Our friend had us piled in a boat on water infested with these gators. Being from up north, we didnโ€™t see much of this. It made me believe I was in my own movie but I was going to be okay, I thought to myself if it was truly dangerous, our friend wouldnโ€™t have brought us out there right? I stayed calm though, I never knew you could fish in areas that had gators, I assumed they would always go after your bait. All in all I would do it again, but I would never have taken anyone in the water and not tell them about the inhabitants, just in case they have a real phobia. Like I would never take my kids in there in case one panics and falls in. But looking back Iโ€™m thinking he may have been in the wrong for taking us there, would you take your friends in an area infested with these creatures not knowing? Itโ€™s a little messed up in my opinion but Iโ€™m over it.

This woman was 12 minutes late to the gate and the airline gave their seats to other customers with standby tickets. The rules are rules for a reason but if the gates are still open, is this just being petty? They are there now so I donโ€™t see why they canโ€™t just have the seats they paid for. I remember when I was almost sprinting to the gate because the watch j was wearing stopped working, I just didnโ€™t know it. I thought I had plenty of time so as I walked to get something to eat I saw some of the gate time displays and in the corner of the screen displayed a time. I was confused because when I looked at my watch it said 1:30pm, my flight left at 2:30pm and the time on the screen was 2:25pm. I kept walking and passed a gift shop that had a clock and it also said 2:25pm. I hurried to the employee at the shop and asked what time it was and they pointed to the clock meaning that was the actual time. I took off to the gate because I knew there was a big chance I wasnโ€™t going to make my flight. I got there right at 2:30pm. They were getting just letting the last people on. I had my ticket in hand and she said she had to make sure I could still board. Initially when she walked back she had a worried look on her face as if she had bad news, I was prepared for the worst but luck was on my side as she said they agreed to let me on. My next flight I wasnโ€™t so lucky but I will save that for another time. My luck ran out for the rest of the day though, it made me think if I was better off missing that flight. The guy I was sat by snored bad, I had a delay at my next connecting flight, and the food they gave me made me nauseated but I was still thankful I made it home on time.
