An acquaintance of mine requested I ask this question. Swim was kind of wondering what your reaction would be if a steerer asked for your phone number and offered theirs. This has happened to swim twice (the first time it was just a request for a number - no number offered in return). Everyone looks for a pager/delivery hookup, but does this kind of behaviour seem a bit fishy? Anyways that's what my acquaintance wondered.

A steerer?
I was confused on this as well.
I found two definitions:

Person who directs customers to spots for buying. - Erowid.com

An employee of a horse breeding farm who directs the ***** of the stallion into the ****** of the mare with his hands. - UrbanDictionary.com

I'm guessing it's the prior of the two. Personally, I wouldn't give my number to either one of them.
Edit: It probably wasn't nesseary to censor those anatomical terms, but I didn't want to offend any junky nuns out there. (Hmm, junky nuns.. I really want to make a habit pun,...but I won't.)

The former definition, rather than the latter.
No, I wouldn't give my number nor did my acquaintance, but would you use the number that you were given? or would you chalk it up to an informant's phishing? Would you think that this person is likely an informant? The war on some drugs is dehumanzing - you have to question any act of kindness or sociability.

Mmmmm... Junky Nuns... Now there's material for a fantasy....

Now that I think about it, I do recall a movie in which there were heroin using nuns http://imdb.com/title/tt0085496/

As for the habit pun, heh, reminds me of trainspotting (we called him the mother superior, on account of the length of his habit).

Sleeeeepp...

I'd be suspicious as hell about the whole situation. Even if I knew he was on the level, I wouldn't give him a number.

Hmm,...I'm going to have to see if I can rent that movie, and watch it with my creepy friends.

Yeah, my acquaintance didn't (because he is paranoid as a motherfucker) but it has preyed upon his sense of convenience, if you know what I mean. He wanted a second opinion, to make sure he wasn't being a completely sketchy fucknut. Thanks for the input.

As for the movie, it's amusing but it does tend to put one in mind of the '70s.

The whole sketchy steerer thing reminds me of an experience about 9 years ago (when I was 16.) A friend of mine said he he knew someone who had great bud. We end-up walking downtown, and meeting up with this 11 or 12 year old who was tweaked as fuck, he said "You want nuggets? I can get you nuggets." Then he talked to someone else (the whole situation was just weird, and made us very uncomfortable.) I can't remember if we ended up purchasing from the kid, or that guy he talked to (it was just too long ago) but we went back to my friend's place, invited some other people over, and passed my glass around.

This story could go into a million weird details, but I'll keep it brief. It was laced with PCP (which we didn't know at the time). Basically, I heard old Atari video game sounds (actually the more that I think about it, everything felt like a video game too, an old clunky video game, with a low frame rate.), and everything seemed like it was in a strobe light (when I regained more physical sensation, I realized I'd simply been blinking my eyes very rapidly). There were also some rather strong hallucinations, and a taste that seemed to be apple cider in my throat, but was later revealed to be stomach acid fluxing once I'd regained more sensation. I later talked about my experience in great detail with my friend, and said that I never wanted anything to do with that tweaker kid again. He said he liked it, and tried to find him, but the kid seemed to disappear from town.

Yeah dude, tell that damned steerer to start selling or hit the road!!! Honestly though, I've never had to go through a third party who wasn't a close friend, I don't know how well I would take to it. I'm paranoid as all hell so this woulda had me acting the tweaker probably :)
