Currently in the C club in ATL and watching some skeevy old guy trying to impress/pick-up a 20 something woman by telling her all about his Medallion status. He just finished showing her his acct on his phone. Maybe not a true DYKWIA, but hilarious anyway. She’s being polite, but not biting.
It is worth it to someone!!!
