Unlikely to be a crackhead in Sydney. Not impossible, but unlikely. Far more likely to be a junky or strung out on meth, but the fact that she asked coherent questions makes me think no on the meth.

So I saw her gave her hte money walked up the street and then half an hour later met her again walking back down the same street. She was crying and saying "thank you so much" to some guy in the exact same way she had said it to me.

me - how much did you give her?
girl - ignores me whole time
guy - it's none of your business
me - no it's cool i gave her money too
guy - $20
me - boy, i guess that gas is going to cost more than we thought
guy - it's okay leave us alone
me - no it's cool i gave her money too
guy - it's okay leave us alone

and it looked like the were having a nice chat as I walked away.

Looks like the forum called it, but it's really no big deal. I'd rather give someone ten bucks who didn't need it than fail to give someone ten bucks who did. I've given 5-10 bucks a couple of different times to people doing the whole gas thing in parking lots.

You have a kind heart bruiser. But after living in seattle for a bit, and even just living in normal suburbia most of my life. I don't even make eye contact with people who want money. There are always alterior motives. And if there isn't I do occasionally miss helping someone. But there are better ways I could allocate 10 dollar per say if I wanted to help someone. Also, I don't know if it was late at night, but going up to her while she is working some other guy, and trying to talk to him is a very bad idea. Its really best to just walk away.

Hypothetical scenario, you ask him how much he gave her. He says none of your business. Then she realizes who you are and tells the other guy you are stalking her or something of that nature. Then he pulls out a knife because hes a drunk idiot or something like that. I think you should be a little more careful.

I make a point of only giving money to people who spell "ulterior" as "ulterior."


About the knife scenario. Whatever.

F&^% em. At most give em a quarter for the phone and say call a friend or relative. Or better yet tell them to call collect. The amount of times I've had this happen to me is just obscene.

One time had a guy, huge dude, pull his car in front of mine to get me to stop. Gets out of his car and tells me hes locked out of his house and needs money for a locksmith. I said sorry can't help you out. His whole body tenses and makes a forward motion like he's gonna grab me, then he looks around and I guess realizes it may not be the best idea and takes off. I thought I was gonna have to do some window Kung-Fu on his crack head ass.
