[QUOTE="Slack, post: 1302640, member: 13947"] I am highly skilled at ignoring panhandlers and scammers. One day while at lunch at a gas stations at I40 & Meridian this guy approaches me. He comes up politely he is a medium height white male, button up shirt tucked into some shorts with pleats, and deck shoes. He is carrying his cell phone and a gas can. Of course he has a story, something about running out of gas, his daughter didn't fill up the car and she won't answer the phone, do I have a couple of dollars for gas. He was real polite and not aggressive and had a very plausible story. Well I gave him a couple bucks and went about my business. 5 or so hours later I am leaving work and there is the same guy still carrying his gas can (and now smoking a cigarette) playing the same game down the street. I didn't feel bad, he put on a good show with a new spin and even had props. [/QUOTE]
