Leigh Lawsoned

When you go overseas on your first holiday to a country which has a different currency and you can’t figure out the exchange rates (especially after a few drinks) and you inadvertently end up paying 10 times more than you should to the local market seller, accepting their first price with the inability to understand how to barter.
A lad (Leigh Lawson), was on his first holiday to Bali and buying a gift. He asked how much it was.

Local market seller appeared to catch on that Leigh Lawson was on his first holiday and a bit wet behind the ears so confidently said the sale price was $40 (probably cost $0.40 to manufacture).

Lawson didn’t hesitate to pay the full $40, even tipping them for their kind nature.

Later that night, Lawson went out for dinner and purchased a steak which he believed was a bargain price of $9, only to find out when settling the bill that said rib eye cost him $90.

Lawson was not available for comment when contacted by his friends.

When traveling overseas, avoid getting Leigh Lawsoned.
