Can't even help anyone anymore

I was filling up at the gas station today, and a guy comes up to me and asked if I could spare a few bucks for gas, I said sure, and told him to pull on the other side of the pump, and I'll put $15 worth of gas in his 80's pickup. I get my truck topped off, and I'm taking the hose to his truck when he shuts the pump off, so I ask him what he's doing, and his reply..."She only gets premium". I hung the pump up, and told him to leave, I was going to tell the clerk he was panhandling. He had the nerve to get mad! I told him to calm down, I have a permit to carry, and I'm armed, he stormed off to his truck, and peeled out of the station. Man, sometimes you try to do a good deed, and it blows up in your face.

Some people are just jerks. You did the right thing....besides, he probably wanted alcohol...not gas.

What ever happened to "Beggars can't be choosers"? [-X

Aside from the fact that this guy was a complete A$$, what kind of 80's p/u truck "only takes premium"? [-X

I hear ya tho, too many times have I been approached in the gas station, exiting a store, etc. by someone asking for a handout. Anymore, I tell most of them "no", but once in a while, when my "gut" tells me to, I offer them something. Usually not cash, but maybe a walk back in the store for some food or something...that way I know where the money's going.

One time I was exiting our local grocery store and there was a guy asking for a handout, I told him "no" but as I went to the car and drove out of the parking lot my gut told me I should do something. So, I drove through the fast food store on the other corner and returned to the parking lot offering a burger, fries, and a drink. They guy asked me what it was, and when I told him he refused all of it telling me he was a vegetarian...perhaps he was, but I know one thing for sure; he wasn't that hungry. :?

Only takes premium! :LOL2:
