....your gonna con me, or anyone else who you expect to be nice to you.
This thread of expression comes from deep within me as I hate to see the homeless for whatever reason their situation has come to meet with them. I for one work hard for my earnings whether it is selling my "artwork" or doing projects for the graphics company that hubby and I own, operate and run.
Yesterday I was headed to a call to sell some art downtown and it was around 2:30-3AM, and this man, scruffy looking and all comes to me before entering to where I was headed and tells me he needs change as he needed to be towed, and his car broke down. He tells me he needs to catch a bus to Couchhill, well dude, 1. There are NO buses at this hour I say, pissed that he lied blantantly to my face, 2. I asked if I could have my driver take him to his car and get him "anything" before taking him to Couchhill, he stammers and comes up with another lie. By now, I am so pissed as I am trying to help, with the walls of guardness standing tall and knowing I am running late for my "meeting" even though I am right there, just floors away. I looked right at him and said " Ya know dude had you just been totally honest and said I "NEED" and I am "asking" you for a hand out without lying, I would have helped your ass out, but now, you have pissed me off, lied to me twice and made me late, where I could have possibly lost money, so your shit outta luck with me Padre.
Ya know I try to be fair and honest for the most part in life without ripping people off, pissing them off and lying to them, ya know, how I would like to be treated but why is different for the other part of society to think it isn't?
I was just at the Road King the other day getting coffee, when I watched someone walk up to my S/O and my S/O shook his head no. Afterwards, my hubby got into the truck and asked if he was being asked for money, his response was yes. After a few minutes of being there, we were getting ready to pull away and then we see the same guy pull up to the pump and I rolled down my window and we offered him the couple $$'s he had asked us for as we saw he did actually have a car that needed gas, and he declined as he had found enough money for enough gas to get him home, so we gave it to him anyway. At least he was honest. I have no problem every now and then, offering help to somebody if they need it, but when they play on sympathy and bullshit, it just pisses me off. It makes it hard to figure out who really needs the help and who is scamming.
