"I don't carry cash, I travel on company credit cards, and they keep track of every penny."

That pretty much eliminates any further discussion. ;)

This type of thing happens so often that I think most of it is scamming. Some may be real, but--- really, a person gets out onto the Indiana Tollway, nearest exit is twenty miles back thataway, and he's begging for gas money at the oasis???? Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, by the third time you've got a scam going on.

Isn't it strange, asking someone living in there vehicle for money? ;)

I don't do this anymore because it normally ends with my wife taking my wallet and giving them money but I loved beating them to the punch with: "hey, spent all my money on alcohol, can you spare a buck?"

Got my share of F U's

I usually get the I need gas money story or he just needs a little help because he has a job interview and needs to wash his clothes. I no longer give money to them when I realized giving them money only causes more to come begging.

My Hebrew is pretty bad but it looks like it says. "*****, look for you friends." I think the look for your friends part is slang for " get lost".

It is the new political correctness thing. If you have money and they don't, then you are expected to give them some. If you don't, you aren't "doing your fair share". :rolleyes:
Trying to remember where I have heard that recently.:confused:

Start preaching to them, giving them a sermon. For extra fast refusal, and departure, whip out a bible. It works every time.And it may of done some good, as well.
