I could kick myself. A young woman politely stopped me in food store parking lot, needing money (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024804540)
She said her husband and kids were in the car, they spent all their money and WIC money buying food for the kids, and her husband didn't have enough gas in the car to get to work. I had JUST bought a money order for my daughter (she needs it for a credit check for her new apartment) and had very little cash on me. I told her to wait a moment, went to my car, took the four dollars or so out of my wallet and grabbed a half-filled change jar. I walked back to her and gave everything to her, saying, "I'm sorry, this is all I have on me." She was crying and hugged and thanked me.
It wasn't until they pulled away that I thought, "Why the HELL didn't you tell them to follow you to the gas station on the corner?" I could have filled their entire tank for them as well as giving them the few bucks I had on me.
It's been bothering me for an hour. I just didn't think fast enough on my feet.

Uh huh.
I think they're both full of it.

I am offering $100 to the first DUmmy who documents a bouncy with a credible picture or video.
Odd how they have plenty of cameras handy to take pictures of their ****ing mangy "kittehs" or of themselves strumming a ****ing guitar, but never ANY in the places where ALL confrontations occur: oil change places, grocery stores, and banks.

It's been a long time since I have bought a money order. Exactly how much do they cost now a days?
This bouncy gets no bongs. I mean they don't even try anymore do they.

My bank changes three dollars but you can usually get them for less than a dollar at Western Union.

Money orders cost between $1.50 and $0.69. Depends on where you purchase them.
"Mrs. Wiggum" can't deposit cash into her new "internet" bank account, so I usually have to fetch a money order for her.

What kind of man just idly sits there and sends his wife out to get money for the family??
Oh, yeah, DUmp stars Bill Pitt and Rob McGrath.

Why didn't she give the beggar--er, I mean, the poor victim of the terrible Obama economy, the money order? Unlike a cashier's check, a money order isn't made out to a specific person.

Horses for courses. A woman is going to score more snaps than a dude, any day.

I would suggest you donate $100 to a homeless or needy person in said DUmmy's name, but that would take the chances of someone taking you up from it to .0001% to 0.0% percent.

How many times have I heard that one.....or grandma is in the hospital dying and don't have enough gas to get there.

Skinner was grifted by proxy. Remember DUmmies, all your money should go to Skinner's family vacation fund.

Not in todays world would any male, husband, brother, uncle or father sit in a car and send a female family member out to beg money from a strange male, unless the poster was an elderly women.
Oh yes the Gypsies do con old women who may not be too honest themselves. Had a case in town when a women not that old perhaps 65 was approached by 2 woman that said they had found a bank bag with $10,000 and would split it with her if she would give them $1000 finders fee. This woman was escorted to her bank to withdraw the $1000, taken out to the parking lot and given the bank bag full of cut up news papers.
She the older women was outraged, went to the police not realizing she had admitted to attempted robbery of money that was not hers. She was just as guilty as the scam woman.
Scams, they seldom change unless one replies to the E mails from Nigeria about some stranger leaving you in their will.

Had a woman drive up to me in the Lowes parking lot once asking for gas money. She was driving a Jag. couldn't quit laughing about it.

Oh phylum primitive, how could you? You should have done so much more. Why didn't you hand them the keys to your car? Or offer to rent a home and pay for it so they could live there? What kind of monster are you?
Please save the kicking yourself for us. I, for one, will make sure I get a running start.

I had to get one to straighten out a property tax kerfuffle, three years ago. Two bucks, IIRC.

Waffle stompers with detachable ice crampons. Just unstrap if they get stuck in the face goo.

Didn't even offer to foot the bill for 4 years of college.
Oh, the humanity....

I want to kick you too. Hard. Repeatedly. For a lengthy period. With steel toed boots. Until my foot hurts. :loser:
