[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 1679437, member: 1535"] Me and a gf were living in Henderson,NV out by the airport near Vegas and I had been working on my Mustang one hot summer day doing a brake job on it on my day off from the tattoo shop we ran. When I got the job all finished I decided to run to the convenience store down the street and get something cold to drink. My clothes and hands were all nasty and dirty and I was sweating really bad because it was hot as hell outside. I came outside the store with my drink and sat down on the curb beside my car to drink my Big Gulp. This man and woman drive up in a really nice BMW dressed in fancy clothes and they get out of the car. As they are walking by me the man stops, digs in his pocket, then hands me a crumpled $20 bill and says, "here, hope this helps buddy", and they walk off into the store. WTF? I never said a word to them. And I probably had more sitting in the bank than they did. But did I keep the $20 or give it back to them when they came out? Fck that. I got in my car and went home- with the $20 bill. I figured them to be couple of out of town vacationers who probably had a good day at the casino and were celebrating their good fortune. Whatever. My lucky day is all I know. Ive done alot of messed up stuff over the years so I really need to push my karma in the 'good' direction. I may not give bums money at QT but I do try to put something in the kettle in front of the store at Xmas when I can. Im not a Christian or even spiritual, I just feel like since I am in good shape financially I should give back some way even if its just a few bucks in a kettle at Xmas. I have a few other places where I give a little here and there too during the year. I know you cant buy karma but I also know that paying it forward some way any way you can is the right thing to do if you have some extra cash. Ive made my own way in this world since HS and have been pretty successful and I have also inherited money too, so giving some of it away isnt going to hurt me and it feels good when I can do it. But giving it away to some street hustler though is not my idea of charity and I wont play their games. When I say no to these people it doesnt make feel one bit guilty. [/QUOTE]
