If you work hard for your money, why can't they?

In Batton Rouge after Katrina & Rita blew through, my husband was at a gas station (he was there as a first responder) and noticed a middle aged man and two sons counting nickles for gas for an old truck. He offered them $5 but the old man refused. Eventually his son's convinced their dad to take it but not after he got our address - 3 months later this guy sent us a $5 bill.

Oh. I'm sorry. This is about lazy people with no ethics and breed like rats. Excuse me...

Ya, I won't let it change my character about helping others, just will exercise a bit more common sense next time.I guess if it was a car full of dudes I wouldn't have thought twice. O and I was staying at the LaQuinta off I 10 and Medical center parkway on the East side of I 10 it was pretty lush for the buck. Back home now getting ready for work tomorrow.

I had a fker knock on my door claming to be a homless victim sunday. He was drunk off his *** becasue he said his home in el paso was flooded by IKE. I simply told him no and he got pisst and pulled on my screen door. I told him he has less than 20 seconds to get out my yard. He got smart and said or what, So I showed him my glock .45 and told him Im far from afraid to use it. He started a slow walk and thats when I lrt my pit after him LOL!

I had a similar incident the other night. Me and my buddy are at the gas station at 2 in the morning bullshitting and whatnot. A pos honda pulls up and there is a woman driving with a guy in the passenger seat. She gets out of the car and starts walking in the gas station and then looks at us. She said, "Hey, come here." We look at each other and my buddy says "What?" She says, "I am on my way to the hospital and my sister got care-flighted, which is being born premature, to this hospital that is 20 miles away and I have no gas." So long story short, she asks for 10 bucks for gas. My buddy has no cash but I have some. I want a few more details before I hand over 10 bucks to a stranger. So I ask her what hospital. She says she doesn't know. I ask how does she know where she is going if she doesn't know the name of it. Keep in mind, I am at the intersection of Hwy 69 and Hwy 34. South is 30 and west is Hwy 66. She points west and says it is 20 miles that way and she has to get on 30 somewhere down there (lie #1). I asked if it was Rockwall and she said no. Rockwall is the only hospital within 20 miles that they might even *think* of taking this woman to (lie #2). I forgot the 3rd one but she gets her panties in a wad and storms off into the gas station. Meanwhile, her "man" is staring at us in the car. She comes out, yells something and gets in the car. As they are driving off, he yells something to us but we just call him a retard and to not make his woman do the dirty work. Then they drive off north on Hwy 34.

The driver pulls up to me as I'm walking to the store and asks me for a favor, then begins to spill the sad story about how they had to evacuate Houston from Ike (I had already noted mentally the Michigan plates) and they don't live in Tx but the atm ate their card etc and they're totally broke. She went on to rant about how they have no gas money or food or place to stay and if I could help out in any way. I DID note the kids in the back and I have a soft spot for little one's so I handed her a twenty and said good luck (it was all the cash I had as I usually only carry 30 bux in cash and the rest in plastic), This B**ch tells me to wait a minute then asks me "you can't do no better than that"? I was in total shock and just walked off feeling like a class A fool, oh well don't fall for the bs guys/gals end rant/.
On a better note I'm back home now and the drive from S.A was a blast no traffic in Houston at 4:30 pm imagine that.

You should have said yea i can do better than that....asked for the 20 back and jetted outta there. Sorry pieces
