No, but I used to ask my dad for gas money all the time though.

swedeace · 10-05-2005, 09:30 AM

Yes, it's happened to me a few times while I was at the stores' parking lots and even at a gas station. I am always leary about giving people money. I cannot differentiate the difference whether they "really" need it or just want to fix their drug/alcohol habit. To play it safe, I just usually say, "No, I'm a poor college student."

yea, a woman drove up to me as i was walking out... there I was 16, and scared to death... i gave her 2$s and just prayed not to get shot lol

swedeace · 10-05-2005, 10:47 AM

Oh, yeah, a story to share.....

My boss once stopped at a gas station, and this man was asking him for money because his girlfriend is pregnant and they were stranded, etc, etc, so my boss gave him some change.

Fast-forward about two-three months later, and the SAME man approached my boss (not recognizing him) and told him the SAME story. My boss told him, "You already told me this a couple of months ago?" Geez! Either this man has multiple pregnant girlfriends, or he's pulling a "story." You choose.

But anyway.... it's very difficult to tell what is real and what isn't, seriously.... I want to help those who REALLY need it, yet I don't want to "feed" someone's drug/alcohol addiction, you know.... Our society is quite difficult to differentiate stories at times.

me n my friends went up to our one friends camp like 4 hours away and we bough too much alcohol there and ran out of money and on the way back we ran out of gas and went to walmart and asked people for money and got enough to get us home

dawsongirl · 10-05-2005, 03:44 PM

Nope. Which is good, because I can't afford my own gas.

80sTrivia · 10-05-2005, 09:21 PM

Well, my sister did, as she was running on empty and thought she would run-out of gas before she got to the ATM machine!!!
