Hi all,

Was on my way back home and was approached by a young student type lady. She had very expensive clothing and pretty much an original Louis Vuitton bag and a few other things.

She firstly said how she isn't a begger and then, asked me if I had a metro rail card, to which I replied yes. Then she went on to how she's lost hers, and she doesn't have her bank card and needs money to get to Manchester. I felt rather sorry for her, so I gave her £10, to which she said "I need £17.80" or something along the lines of that.

She did say she'd give me the money back and asked me if I'm willing to meet up tomorrow and she'd pay me back. I just said no. So she went off elsewhere.

Now the more I think about it, the more blind I think I am. Wondering to myself, how many more people she may have approached, or will approach. She said she's a student, yet she was kitted out in some expensive clothing/accessories. She could have asked friends, or family.

Whether I did a good thing or a bad thing, I don't know. It does upset me to see people in these situations so maybe that is why I just gave her what I did.

Ps. She was rather hot also. Which leads me to think, if a guy had asked me I would have walked off. Do you guys think, she probably earns a living off this? How else can she afford the gear, apart from blowing, maybe all her student loan?
 
Pretty much an original? It either is or it isn't :/

If everyone gave her the best part of £20 it wouldn't take long to buy some decent gear.

Well from what I could tell is was. But you never know.

Do you think I did the right thing? Or it was foolish of me to go give some stranger £10. I know to some people £10 isn't a lot of money, but I think it is quite a bit to give to someone you don't know.
 
Probably all fake and she does it for a living. How do you know she is a "student" type, was it the posh bag?

Personally, I think it was foolish, as I think she was playing you for a fool. I never give out money to strangers who ask for it.
 
You're a sap really, you saw she was fit and your **** responded to her. It's what 90% of men do around fit women to be fair. Make excuses that she was a poor damsel in distress by all means though. :p
 
I gave 7.60 to a tramp two nights ago. Well, he was a big issue seller, and I said I can give the big issue to my friend who likes the occasional read. He told me he'd been undercutting prices all day and was £9 down, only had his last big issue so he couldn't give it to me. It made me think he was a legend. Still had rules even though he was begging. I just gave him everything in my pockets. He then said thanks a lot and said he's off to see his fiance'. Maybe fiance' is slang for drug dealer... never know these days!

Also, bit of generosity couple weeks ago, Zoltan's annual teenage cancer fund raising, gave 40+ pounds to charity the day before I got paid (all that was left in my bank) had a 45 minute walk home, but felt good about the whole thing.. concience was happy I guess..
 
I once gave a stranded lass a lift home at about 2am one night. She was at a service station with no shoes on and sobbing her heart out, I'd popped in to buy some smokes, when she approached me and gingerly asked if I wouldn't mind giving her a lift a few miles down the road. In the car she explained that her "friends" had just ditched her whilst she in the shop at the service station, and that her shoes were in the car.

She offered whatever change was in her pocket when we arrived at her place, but I politely refused.
 
Well lived and learnt that one. I did give it out of good will, whether she was lying or telling the truth only God knows.

yes there's quite good money in it and that's just the few quid range, the fact she can con you for £10 means she's going to be doing very well of it.


If she gets 5 of those a day that's almost 20k a year with no tax + any benefits she can claim.

But on topic, nicest thing I've done for someone is save their dog from drowning.


Silly thing must have jumped/fell off the cliff saw the tail an thought it was just swimming till I saw the guy on the cliff pointing at the dog frantically so swam out an got it, it had at least a broken front leg amazed it had kept afloat long enough for me to get to it.

Guy said thanks an quickly carried the dog off to get it to the vets.

Nice dog though, must have been in a lot of pain and especially if it had any dmg to it's ribs i must have caused some more brining it in but it didn't bark, growl or try to bite me.
 
You actually gave her £10 and she walked off with it?!

As Maccy says... You sir, were mugged... and are a mug... :p

No, you did it because she was fit. :p

I'm not here to judge or anything as said above, most men respond in the same way.

Pretty much. I can agree with you as that's the last thing I thought to myself, then face-palmed. Never again. :p
 
Gave a homeless guy £2 so he could get in the shelter.

Weather or not he actually went to the shelter or bought some cheap as drugs is unclear :p
