in the past, when i am somewhere near a gheto area, once in a while i would get someone come up to me and ask me for money... giving me some weeper story about how their car broke down and they live so far away and need money for a bus.... blah blah blah... give me ur address and i will mail u back the money... blah blah blah. anyway... two days ago, i was driving home from work and was feeling a bit drowsy, so i pulled into a mcdonald's parking lot to either nap or grab some food to wake me up. i sat in the car dozing off and was awaken by a fellow yelling outside the passenger window. i was like... wtf? so i cracked open the window a tad and he gave me some sob story about how his mom kicked him out the house and he had no money and he tried to go back home, but his mom called the cops, the cops told him to go to a shelter, but the closest shelter was so far away and it's too cold for him to walk there. so i'm like, is he asking for a ride? then he asks me if i can help him out, anything i have would help him... blah blah blah. i thought it was kinda funny becuz i literally only had $1, but i thought if i told him that, he would probably think "what a lying prick". anyway, i told him i only had a dollar and he was like "i'll take it". i told him "no... i mean i only have a dollar and i am gonna buy something". then he was like "oh", and walked away. bleh. stupid story, i know, but it;s almost 4am and i am bored as hell.

When I was 16, me and my best friend were in the car in a deserted parking lot in the inner city at like 2am (she had a friend who lived there), and this shady looking guy comes walking up to the car and taps on the driver's side window. So of course i lock my door. But what does my friend do? Rolls down the window of course! Anyways the guy just wanted 50 cents to make a phone call, so she starts going through her wallet, pulling out 20s to get to her change, and gives him the 50 cents. I almost pissed myself I was so scared. I'm just glad I didnt get shot in the face...

some dude walked past me while i was at an atm once... turn around and asked me for money. he told me he wasn't from the area... car broke down... blah blah blah. a week later, i was going to lunch... walking down the same block and saw him. he actually said "hey wassup" to me. i guess he made it home and got his car fixed.

That crap pisses me off. I was eating a hamburger in my truck at night in the ghetto, waiting for my friend to buy some smokes, when some dude comes up to my car and asks for money. That's a good way to get knocked out, for all I knew the dumbass wanted to carjack me. It's one thing to ask for it while your walking around, but while someone is in their car isn't right. (aside from the fakes standing on busy street corners who obviously aren't after your car, I enjoy giving them nothing). Another kind I hate are the ones who'll stand outside a grocery store, as if to say 'I know you just got change.' Just the fact that they want to give me a guilt trip makes me never give them anything.

who DOESN'T have a cell phone these days? :roll:

me, because I hate the bloody things.

Besides, there are times when people honestly DO need a quarter to make a phone call.

Yep. It seems whenever I need to use a payphone, I dont have change or I'm flat broke.

I just bought a guy a cheap pack of smokes... you should have heard the sob story he gave me. I thought as I was leaving the gas station if he only knew the problems I have, I should be the one begging him for money... but I'd never sink that low not even if I was homeless... then of course I would never be homeless.

I was in my neighborhood liquor store and this guy came up to me and asid:

"Can I have fifty cents? I need it because I am trying to buy a ticket to Africa."

Why don't they just tell the truth instead?

"Can you give me some cash for drugs? I'm a bit short cause car radios don't sell as well anymore as they used to!"
