[QUOTE="tul9033, post: 1294613, member: 2319"] I work in downtown Tulsa and am pretty used to being approached for money. I have had a couple of guys ask me to buy them a meal which I actually did. However, be very careful. The last time I gave a guy some money I whipped out my wallet and he had his eyes on it like a hobo on a bologna sandwich. I just knew I was going to be chasing this guy down to get my wallet back. Never again will I show my wallet to anyone who's not behind a cash register. The gig is up, no more handouts. I'm tired of hearing the same story from the same guys 3 days later or how they are broke down and need money for a tow or for gas or to feed their kids. You would be amazed at how many people just ask for money and get it. Many times once they get a dollar or 2 they will almost strong arm you into giving them more. It's a short and firm NO directly to their eyes and keep moving now. [/QUOTE]
