Giving rides.

[B]

I went to Wal-Mart this morning around 4:00 a.m. When I was walking to my truck a guy approached me and asked me if I'd give him a ride down the road about a mile. He told me he would ride in the back of my truck if I wanted him to. I told him I had a gun under my seat and I'd just shoot him if he tried anything. So he got in and I gave him a ride to a gas station. He asked me for $18 bucks, but I told him all I had was credit. What would you have done?

[Mizzou]

Shot him.

I would have just gone by. There are just too many times where people claiming to need a ride or money are actually thieves who will steal your money or your car.

For starters, who the heck needs to go to Wal-Mart at 4:00am? :)

[ConstableRabbit]

What an SOB. How can you be so ungrateful? I'm glad you mentioned that you had a gun, because I NEVER would have given someone a ride without some sort of protection- maybe not even then.

jesus would have given him a ride

I like to go when there is not a crowd and I don't have to wait in line.

I live in Chicago. When strange people ask for rides at 4 in the morning, you push the peddle to the floor or wind up on the news.

I wasn't in my truck. I was standing on the passengers side putting my things in it.

Unless it's a really hot chick, I think I would have said no.

 

Of course if it's a hot chick asking for a ride at 4:00 A.M, she's probably a hooker.

did you actually tell him you had a gun? that seems like a horrible idea.

 

also, i would've said no.

[wolf stansson]

I don't know if I would've said anything. Depends on the general appearance.

[Drew Doughty]

You have to get "all dressed-up" to go to Wal*Mart?

[imb]

i would have just killed him, he was probably a homeless anyway

[CDBears1259]

I said no, but honestly it would depend on my impression of the person and whether or not I was packing heat. I might also consider it if I had a truck. If I did, they would DEFINITELY be riding in the truck bed.

On the day of the blackout in NYC I walked from midtown toward the Lincoln Tunnel, and started asking people going through the tunnel if they'd take $20 to drop me off at the other end of the tunnel. Remembering the 10 hours it took me to get home after 9/11, packing onto the ferry and walking 5 miles home, I didn't want to deal with that again (not to mention the ferry companies were busted overbilling the government for that service and probably weren't going to be as helpful this time). It was early afternoon, and I was dressed business casual. I was probably ignored or turned away by the first 15-20 cars (all of which had the space). Then I asked a dude in a pickup who thought about it for a couple seconds then said yes. By the time we got to the tunnel he had picked up 2 more in the cab and 6 more in the back. Some of us just wanted to get to the other side of the tunnel, while others were asking for rides to certain exits on the turnpike (several more miles away). When I got out I handed him the $20 and he told me to keep it. Good guy, hope karma worked out for him.

 

 

But at 4 am asking for a ride from the wal-mart to a gas station a mile away seems rather strange to me.

Not here, we will pick you up and buy you a cup of coffee, they will still be in the back of the pick-up though. Depends on circumstance.

 

In texas though we have a phone # on the back opf our liscense that you can call for free road side assistance. A crazy state law that we pay for.

[rjchapma]

NO WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean like that homeless guy that said he was there to read the meter? :hammer:

[TruffleShuffle]

Wait, so you drove him to the gas station and then he asked you for money anyway? WTF?

That's correct. Well, actually he asked me on the way. Not when we were there.

[barryfoote]

Jesus also has the capability to rise from the dead.

Did he tell you about how he was going to get rich off his new "6 Second Abs" idea?
