don't give strangers money
So this guy comes up to me and wants gas money. He drives a suburban. He tells me he has to get to Jasper etc.
I ask him if he smokes. He says yes. I ask for a stogie. He gives me one and I give him five dollars. FIVE dollars. He sees that I have a twenty. He proceeds to try to convince me to give him more money since it will take more money to get him to where he wants to go.
I'm dumbfounded. Yep, me.
I tell him that I just gave him five dollars and he tells me that he just gave me one of his last cigs. I'm still perplexed. I'm thinking, hmm, well, I could ask for my five back, give the cig back and go to the store to buy my own PACK of stogies.
This situation is not very out of the ordinary. It goes to my head like the ol' give 'em an inch they'll want a mile song and dance.
When did I get generous enough to take back my five, and your one and give you my twenty? Not today jerko.
After lots of prodding and needeling I left this guy to his own schtickt.
And I am not feeling very generous any longer.
