Can you spare some extra change?

Can you spare some extra change?

I get this question so much by people standing outside of grocery stores and gas stations. Sometimes I do give in because I feel they are being true – and really in need. Damn, most of the time I’ve been wrong! After I give somebody some spare change for food, I see them going into a liquor store and walking out with a 40 ouncer. (That asshole!) People like this make lose my will to help people who are really in need.

Today I fell for it – once again! and like most of the time, I was wrong. I even fell dumb cus I fell for the oldest play of the book. Some guy comes to me telling me he ran out of gas and if I could spare some change. I tell him I didn’t have any money so he tells me, it’s okay because he has a gasoline container. He just needs a ‘lil bit’. Since I thought he was ‘fo real’, give hime about 2 gallons of gas. He thanks me and walks towards his car.(I’m still thinking he was ‘fo real’).

So I go to the store and on my way back I see that same person standing at the gas station again. Bastard! From now on, I’m not giving not even 25 cents to no one!

It wouldn’t surprise me that these people begging for money make more money than I do. Bastards.
