So we all know that the townspeople wander around aimlessly and often you get lost. You'll see a bubble over their heads with a category, and then they'll ask you a question. I'm not sure who came up with these questions, but it often gets pretty silly. I mean, has anybody ever asked you in real life where "the best entertainment business in town" is?
But that aside, I want to know: which citizens irk you the most? Which ones make you groan when they show up, and why?
I've got 2 in particularly in mind.
1) The Senile Cop
It's not that he keeps leaving his badge at the station. I can forgive absent-mindedness. But why is he unable to find his way back to the station? If he makes an arrest, will he have to ask the perpetrator for directions? Time for this guy to retire.
2) The Truant Schoolgirl
It is a little weird that someone who supposedly goes to a building 5 days a week doesn't know where it is, but the thing that really bothers me is her use of the term "grade school." I understand that they needed to distinguish between the elementary and high school, but does anybody even use this term anymore?

The basketball guy who is always looking for a pick up game annoys me.  |

One that annoys me the most is the idiot who stands beside a business, and begs to be directed to that SAME business that he is standing beside.. Or even one of the other community building... Like for example. I had a guy begging for a taxi location, and he was literally standing ON the taxi stand building. LOL I get a good laugh out of it, but seriously?? Your standing outside Future Shop, and you cant find it, so you go ask someone where Future Shop is... I think we need a "eye Doctor" for the little people who cant see!! Or at least make the actual business signs bigger |

Must be a regional thing. |

Yep, Primary School in New Zealand, and here in Beijing. I like to say that's because Primary means "main" and "secondary" means, well second-ary...that's mainly because I know it pisses off my darling Secondary colleagues, and they can't resist a bite...so I'll sit here and wait for all the bites I guess  |

I don't like it when one of my citizens walks to the side of the building and then faces the brick wall. Reminds me of the Blair Witch Project. Lol.
Also I have ONE guy who wears a white baseball cap. Just one guy. Where'd he come from? Of course one is better than ALL the same characters walking out of the houses together like Children Of The Corn.
I also have a hooker. I'm not making this stuff up. She has on a red dress. Her hair is pulled back into a high ponytail and she's the only one (besides the cop) wearing sunglasses. She never moves from her street corner beside JC Penny's. She also has this little hip swinging action going on. I think my cop should arrest her.

Lol. Good stuff. Now of course, I am going to have to search my town for the hooker.

The limo driver going 70 mph around town irks me. I understand brangelina is late for the oscars but ease up on the gas pedal, buddy! If anyone should be speeding, it should be the cops, fire truck, ambulance or even the taxi! Lol

Maybe if she starts hanging out outside high class hotels like the Ritz she might have "Pretty Woman" type clients and start earning the big bucks. Then we can all franchise her from you, lesksq? Or if she maybe she could be a wonder and she could bring 20% more business to cheap pay-by-the-hour hotels? Or maybe she could come with her own pimp and have him drive round in an animal print limo with gold trim? The possibilities are endless!! I want a hooker! "Bramley". IDNumber 35122953 |

The big question is does the hooker accept coins or buck? Teehee

Maybe that's the next wonder? A cheap seedy motel with a hooker out the front and a dealer out the back, and you get 20% of her takings every time the red convertible goes past, but lose 10% every time the cop goes past because you have to post bail?
Now I just need to figure out if my Ritz Hotel comes with a hooker - probably a better hourly rate.

Has anyone else spotted the tanned, busty young lady wearing short shorts, with blue eye shadow and blue hoop earrings? She seems to be friends with the Hooker in the Red Dress as they're always next to each other. She's a real flirt, always winking at me...  |

The chap at the swimming pool in the red trunks looks very sinister to me.

cmeister23: I agree! That kid looks like he's doped up on something. Another one that is scary is the dark-haired kid wearing a red bandanna, holding a red balloon. He has a *huge* grin on his face and hangs out in front of any Entertainment business. Side note: Entertainment? What kind of entertainment is he looking for??? Side, side note: That is why I really like MT2. There is so much to see and find in all of the towns. The kid on the ride at the megamall disturbs me. |
