You live in Baltimore right? This "black dude" you see trying to flag down cars is most likely trying to catch a hack. [/b]
actually, living in baltimore you learn that hackers and dealers have two extremely different demeanors. could you imagine people regularly confusing the two!!!?? (guy getting in your car thinking he's going for a ride, you think you're getting high, or vice versa, lol)
no, there's the hack signal(the two fingers) then theres the staring at every car doing the little eyebrow thing. its hard to describe, i suppose "flagging down" cars was the wrong term.
and unfortunately, i have more knowledge of the ways of baltimore's open air drug market then i'd like to...
(aside from the fact that if you were trying to get a ride, you wouldn't be at the corner of a dead end street and an alley!!!)
