Generous or stupid?
Jeff was leaving this afternoon and let me borrow his Weber grill for the next month. I drove to Walmart to pick up a few supplies like a full tank of propane, Fantasik and VisiShot. After I walk out a woman (Jennifer) approaches me and tells me that she lost her wallet, her boyfriend is mad and they have no gas. Her breath smelled of alcohol and she admitted to be slightly drunk from a party. I offered whatever change I had in the car but they claimed to live in Daytona and needed half a tank to get there (~$40). They were driving a (2000?) red Ford Explorer, a definite gas guzzler. I let them follow me to the nearest Kangaroo on 34th and 35th and let them fill up to $40.01. They asked for my number so they could call me and attempt to repay me. I've heard this cry for help many times whenever I go to Walmart during 1am-4am. My gut instincts tell me they won't call or attempt to repay me (Jennifer claimed to be a dancer) but who knows, maybe they'll prove me wrong.
So $40 to complete strangers to help them get home (~2 hours from Gainesville), I wonder how many people have been this generous (or stupid). -sighs- I don't know what to think of myself. I can't sleep because I have so much going through my mind, so many errands to complete tomorrow:
√ drop off check to Bosshardt Property Management which is in north Gainesville
√ deposit rent check
√ ship out 4 packages
√ go to OHLPA and get forms
√ meet up with Shrira and Dallery for letters of rec
√ read 6 chapters of DAT
- register for the DAT
- workout at the gym
- work on personal statement
√ find potential places to stay at Barry
- fill out missing information on FAFSA
√ meet up with potential tenant
√ :(
