Topic: Never Cease To Amaze Me, About Some People's Attitude, Got Experiences To Share?

    I swear, there are STILL a number of people who act as though Others OWE THEM!

    I mean, when you offer an assist to someone who is in dire straights and then they turn around and try to STIFF YOU, That Is BAD!!!!!!  I guess it goes back to that old saying, "Give Them An Inch And They Want A Mile"

   I Just Don't Get It, You Offer An Assist And Then You Are Treated Like Trash, Because You Didn't Do MORE?

   Really? I don't want to go into details, just KNOW that These people were in a VERY "Needy" Situation. It won't keep me from trying to help someone else out, but sure makes you wonder "Why Bother"?

I totally feel ya man. Going through a big thing at work that's actually been going on for weeks now ... I will never understand people like that.

Better believe I wont be as helpful next time around.

[Red Good]

Come to the conclusion that's just the way it is . Entitled .

[bill440cars]

     I have  been in need, at times and totally showed my appreciation and NEVER made it seem that I expected more. And by the same token, I have helped some who if they were able to, returned the favor, when I was in need. Now THAT'S cool.

     Well buddy, naive means basically that you can be taken advantage of (in one way of thinking) Means there's a good chance that the naive person  could be convinced to do things he (or she) shouldn't. A naive person could possibly be talked into a scheme that could cost them all of their savings, money in the checking account, credit cards, etc.   

    Anyway, I don't see you as a "naive fool", but as someone who tries to see the good in folks and help when and where you can. Nothing wrong with that, at all. And I feel the same way. I try to help where I can, but when folks start acting a fool, I drop them FAST.

I have the same type of thing going on at work too.  A fellow worker asks for money(we have an assist fund for needy employees) constantly and then uses the money for tattoes, beauty salon or some other personal item rather than for her family. I do not give.

Wow, seems like someone needs to rethink their priorities. I'm with you on this one.

[bill440cars]

Bill, you owe me an SL350 lol

    LOL!    I was wondering when THAT would pop up!  Tell ya what Tim, swim over here and we will talk about it.  LOL!  Myself, I'm still missing your "GoldWing". Remember? The one you sold that I REALLY wish I'd have had the buck$ to buy? I still have those photos that you sent me.

It would be interesting to survey these folks and find out what political party the majority supports?

the other evening i was out with the wife.  we were passing through a residential area where there are many walking trails which are used often.  at a light we see the lady, with handfuls of grocery bags, getting up from the ground, and some of the bags are split with spilled items leaking.  (we assumed the lady fell) so as i pull by and slow down, my wife rolls down the window and asks if she needs help, on the ready to get out of the car and help, and this btich proceeds to chew out my wife for asking.  i yelled back that this crazy fcuk should go straight home and take her meds and drove on.

          Now isn't THAT something? Just another example of how our society is REALLY going "Downhill", in a Hurry! Like you all, never would have expected a reaction like that!    I believe that one is for the books! Sure a far cry from when folks helped each other more AND Drugs and Meds weren't so OUT THERE! I'm STILL kinda set back from THAT one and I wasn't even there!

Wow must be something in the air around here. I had the same thing happen. We live in a predominanlty white neighborhood but there is a disabled black man with possible paulsy, that hangs around the area asking for change. he's been here for a few years now and I think he gets treated pretty well.

One day my wife my 70 year old aunt and I were walking our dog down to the village area and there was the same guy with his shopping cart spilt half on the sidewalk and half in the street. My aunt and my wife both asked the guy if he needed help and if he was Ok. The guy turns around and starts cussing them both out with every profanity you can think of! What a douchebag. I'll never give the guy anything again.

I got back at him though. I went down to the local gas station/convenience store on the Honda to get some gas. I was dressed in leather jacket and helmet. He was standing outside asking for spare change I told him to F%$*@K Off! and that I remembered who he was. His eyes got real big. Maybe he will think twice about where is money comes from.

        I am speechless! I have seen and heard about alot of things, but THIS one REALLY takes the cake! I am sure that many of us have seen and heard things similar that just makes you wonder "What Is Up With These People"?  Amazing!!! 

[flybox1]

its tough guys...i told my wife that id do it again (trying to save that drowning guy in Mexico, and almost getting killed myself) and id still probably slow to ask someone if they needed help, but unfortunately it makes you think twice about your safety.
My wife is a hospice nurse, and we have a disabled son. 
We just hope someone would ask if we, or our son, needed help....

     You are right about that, brother. It is tough. Yeah, if you catch hell while trying to help someone, it would definitely make you think twice next time. I have never been in THAT kind of situation, so I can only guess how that would feel and know that it would make you slow to react next time, I am sure. I can clearly identify with you all having a disabled Son, as I have a disabled Daughter, not to mention my Dad who just turned 88 last month. Ya gotta hope someone would offer assistance if it was needed. That's just ONE thing wrong with our country today. Alot of folks are "Too Busy" or just don't want to get involved, when someone is in need. It is DEFINITELY impressive when someone DOES step up though. Thanks for posting.

[dave500]

[Xnavylfr]

Can't believe it""
My wife and I once saw a couple with 2 small children in an empty parking lot with a sign""" OUT OF GAS AND NEED FOOD FOR KIDS!!   So we went and got 5 gals of gas and some KFC for them. Got back to them with gas and food and they still begged for some CASH so they could pump it in their arms.. I NEVER give money! but if they're hungry I'll feed them.

Several years ago there was a bad ice storm that took down power lines. Nighttime temps went into the single digits, and about 75% of St. louis Mo. was without power. In dire need of technicians, teams from as far as several states away were called in to assist local electric co. techs. These guys worked 18 hour shifts. A group of them
came into the restaurant where my wife worked at the time. None of them had had any sleep for at least 24 hours. Two of them were still without power at their own houses.  They were like zombies almost. They told accounts of verbal abuse, rocks being thrown at them, and dogs unleashed on them as they tried to do their job which, of course, was to restore the power. Somehow,
some people, in a twisted way blamed most of the problems on these poor guys. I made it a point to give 'em the "thumbs up"
every time I saw a crew ANYWHERE. A scary thought is to wonder what it would've been like had things been worse.

[dhall57]

For a spell several years ago it seemed like it didn't matter where I went a gas station, McDonald's, Lowes, etc. someone would always walk up to me with some type of reason or accuse for needing money. I lost my wallet or someone stole it, Im out of gas and Im a youth leader from a church out of State and need gas money to get the kids back home. Like most of us here if I know that someone is in true need I will to what I can to help, but it's not hard for me to tell when Im being fed a line of bull $#%^.

A while back I let someone I know borrow $100.00 and was told by him he would pay me back as soon has he got paid the following week. Well I had wrote it off as a $100.00 lost when 6 months later he knocked on my door and gave me my money. He has come back several times wanting money, and my response is I can't help you.

[Blasbo]

It's sad because there are people that really need help and people that are just scammers. I want to help the ones that need it but I have a hard time figuring out which is which.

Lots of so called "homeless" people don't want the goods, they only want money.  Most of them probably make a better living "begging for money" than I do by working 60+ hour weeks.  Additionally, they don't pay into the tax system with the funds that they beg for and get.

[Cabilao]

we have lot of beggars here in the philippines. they sit in front of mcdonalds and if i buy them a burger meal they get angry with me.thats why i stop giving anything. if someone is really in need i help.

[bjatwood]

I was leaving a gas station counter where I had just paid for my fuel. When I approched the door I noticed a man in a wheel chair coming up the "ramp" I held the door open for him and he starts to berate me as he is going thru the open door cussing and swearing at me he didn't need any help! I grabbed his wheelchair and stopped him and went around in front of him and told him "The world would be a better place if we ALL just helped somebody once a day" With that I left the station with my head held high.
