I’m with you on this! I’ll give someone a ride, buy ‘em lunch, lend them my cell phone (in a pinch) – but no cash.

And I maintain that stance even with good friends. I’ll let ya borrow my car before I’ll loan you money. Now, if we’re talking about spotting somebody for lunch or a fiver to pick up some milk on the day before payday, maybe…

Well. I’m depressed now.

This is why I only give money to the guy with the “Why lie? I need money for beer” sign. You know where the money is going. It’s for a good cause (good is a relative term, heh), and you know the guy has a sense of humor.

I hope you find that dude and knee him in the face.

It sucks to see someone get taken advantage of. Atleast the karma is in your favor though. Can't say that I would be as nice as you were to give a stranger $40 so kudos to you! .-= Chris´s last blog ..Packing the Hospital Bag =-.

@Kim: Now see I would really fall for that one…a lady with kids in strollers. Wow…that is bad! You are right…Karma…he’ll pay greatly for that $40 someday and hopefully I will eventually get it back plus some.

@Susie: I have been keeping my eyes open for him. I don’t know what I would do if I saw hm, but I think I would definitely confront him about it. It is a part of town that we frequently go…

@Cathy: Lesson learned for sure. And I don’t know about the pedestal thing…maybe a cinder block or something.

@DaddyKV: Yup, I was the same way til I moved to the city. But now it is so common for me to be asked for change, that if I gave everyone some...I would be broke. .-= Jared´s last blog ..Daddy Is A Dum Dum =-.

@DadOfDivas: True…I will never know. I think that is the part that bothers me so much. But, oh well it was 40 bucks…hopefully he got his moneys worth…of whatever he bought
