Pardon my language in this post....
The weird thing was she acted really rude to me when I said I would just buy the meal for them instead of just giving her straight money. |
This.
This is not unusual. These people are usually scum. Not always... but a majority of the time.
One time I had like $2, and was going to the corner store to buy a 2-liter of soda. I actually didn't have any money, but my sister gave me some. I was totally broke with no job... and was staying with my sister in a small 1 bedroom apartment.
I walk the 6 blocks to the store, and get stopped right outside. Dude gives me a sob story about how he's got a job interview lined up and just needs to get some money together to get prepared for it or something. .. I don't really remember. Anyway I cave and give him my 2 dollars, figuring I can go without soda.
After he takes my money, he then proceeds to ask me for more money, saying that he needs to get a total of $20. I explain I don't have any more money, and that I didn't even have that $2 and the only reason I had it was because my sister gave it to me.
So, of course, he tells me to get more money from my sister. When I say "no, I won't ask her for more money", he comes back with, I shit you not, "She doesn't have to know about it".
A wiser me would have taken my $2 back and told the guy to fuck off for trying to get me to steal from my sister and give the money to him. Instead I just slinked away and felt like shit the rest of the day. And I was out $2 and didn't even have soda.
That was the last time. Never again. Fuck those guys.
