I put in an alarm in a ware house that was storing speakers sold out of a van once ,
They paid cash and didn't make verry much eye contact .

We were approached for the bazillionth time by a another scammer tonight. It was the usual, "Excuse me, excuse me, I'm trying to get (somewhere)..." MB cut him off and said, "No, I don't have any money," and we turned around and kept walking. I looked back a few paces later, but he'd disappeared. Thank god.

He's the third guy in row I've noticed who, despite looking like a sad-sack deadbeat, was wearing VERY nice jacket. The last time this happened (last Tuesday), I couldn't help but compliment the man on his brand-new olive corduroy coat. He seemed to be appreciative.

bluecuracao:

I have had that experience in the city many times... I have trouble with "no money" and I use instead "I'm sorry. I can't help you today." I do make eye contact, and my smile is free and sincere.

The coat quality varies considerably, but is heavily weighted toward the dirty heavy large end of the scale.

For me, it's "Sorry, no," with eye contact, but not even slowing down. I didn't used to be that brusque, but 16 years of walking past these guys every day will get you to streamline a bit. They will still be there tomorrow if you give them cash or not. No homeless people starve in DC. Plenty of soup kitchens. Lots of shelters too. I donate $ to the shelters and kitchens to keep from feeling too much guilt.

although I try not to judge, I'm human, and the first thing I think when I see motorcyclists without helmets is --- STUPID!

Cloud is right there.....I just saw a chick this summer (riding on the back) with (barely) a shirt that was held on by a string, no helmet, no gloves, but what? Sunglasses......

I told my husband: If she would like to continue to be hot, she might want to put some gear on before her pretty skin is shaven off by the road when she hits it.

Watching that made me cringe a little on the inside...uuugh.

"Sorry for the incontinence." Written numerous times, in emails to the entire college, by a co-worker.

Cicero · 11-07-2007, 03:26 PM

lol!!!

No...that's not stupid, that's just Hilarious!!!!

"______ Pride"
Being proud of anything having to do with an association or coincidence of birth, not an actual achievement of your own.
Stupid.

Cicero · 11-07-2007, 03:40 PM

ok....
Stupid people ask for money I see (in nice coats or not).....there's a reccurring theme here.....

I was not aware of that. The next time someone asks me for money I will call them stupid.

Cloud · 11-07-2007, 03:45 PM

er, I think Zengum was berating himself for falling for a con, not that the requesting party was stupid.

Cicero · 11-07-2007, 03:51 PM

....there's a recurring theme here......

Zengum did what when?!? what?
