A guy asked me if I had any money for a bus fare. I asked him where he was going, he said Glenorchy. I fumbled around with my wallet, got out a dollar, gave it to him. He then wanted more. Jeeeeeez. I gave him 50 cents more and he said "cheers" as he was walking off.
Now. My problem with this is that he hasn't planned his savings very well. He hasn't managed his cash. He hasn't rationed his pennies. He hasn't - ... you get the picture.
He had brand name clothes on, and a tattoo. As well as a hat, and he was holding a phone. He has had money in the past, obviously, so why doesn't he have any now? He probably gave it all to charity... hmm...
Be careful not to give too much money to charity, because you will end up like the scummy bogan I met today, and be begging for cash to get on a bus.
Moral? Charity is overrated.
People I like: Midnight Beast. VERY funny.
