How do i get they holiday bracelets off that are forced on?

im going to gran canaria next week and i have heard alot about these bracelets that weird morroccan women force on you then charge u like 20euro to get it off. i was just wondering what they are like and if i could carry around a lighter (as i smoke) and burn them off or carry around small scissors and cut them off.

Thanks

I went to Gran Canaria for two weeks last year and I didn't encounter any women trying to force bracelets on anyone.

Just make sure that no one touches your arm. Firmly say No - or even "f**k off" - they will understand that, I am sure.

• I've not heard of these either but you shouldn't pay for them if they do anyway.
  I have experienced in Turkey a woman who walked around clipping keychains on peoples clothes then pointing them out to you and asking for money but you just say no and take them off and give them back. If you're worried then I would carry some scissors but I don't see how they would manage to do this without you knowing anyway.
  
  Maybe you should carry your own one of these bracelets and if she puts one on you put one on her and charge he 30euros to take it off. lol.
