    Default Strangers...do u help?

    A day or so ago, i was at kroger..and there was a handicapped guy wondering the parking lot when i went in the store. I came out, and he was still wondering around....he came over to me and asked if i could do him a favor... i quickly I said "naw im in a hurry".. he said alright and walked away. I wanted to help dude out, but its hard to trust strangers nowadays... that act of kindness could have easily turned to hell for me... I made up for it tho.. i helped an old guy get his wheelchair in his truck the next day at target....so im even.

    but sometimes i hate that the bad int he world makes me not want to help a stranger...

    I trust my gut instinct on this one. I know that there are people who are dead after doing the same thing... but I tend to think that my intelligence trumps that of any1 who could do me harm. That thought could end up being the death of me someday... ya never know.

    I usually help. Depends on the situation though.

    Hell some people don't even help me. I was stuck in a Borders parking lot for three hours needing someone to jump me off, everyone I asked said no, I had cables and all.

    I gave a lady a ride down the road once her car was broken down, I asked her if she had anything I need to know about and she let me search her LMFAO.

    i gave a guy a ride one day on tara blvd.. and the guy started acting all funny..and asking me to take him to the back of a hotel and stuff...and i had to tell the dude like 5 times to get out... but that was years ago. but that was the time i went against my gut instinct.

    I help people some. I dont give rides though I do keep a knife in the car. I'm only 5'6 and 130 so its hard for me to trust a big ass dude asking for a ride. Lol Maybe in 10 months when I hit 21 that will change

    And that will get you killed, the person you are giving a ride will be close and could easily get the drop on you.
