Attempt to pif....fail

So one of my local vape shop owners gave me a whole bunch of bottles of juice. He had samples and such from companies....so he hooked me up.

A guy posted in a Facebook vaping group here that he was broke and needed juice. I sent him a message and was going to give him about 150 mL for free.... he then asked me to deliver it. I told him I couldn't as I was home with the kids. I brought it with me to work and attempted to meet up with him.... he then asked me to drive to a Chinese restaurant he was at completely across town to once again deliver it. He starts to get friendly and told me not to get a slushy from a place cuz it's nasty.... this tells me he is choosing his expenses....and could afford juice. I told him off and blocked him.

What do y'all think of this one?

Ahhh, the want something for nothing attitude.............don't get me started. It's rampant in society nowadays. I still don't want to be the one to have to judge, but these types ruin it for those who really could use a little help. No way to weed it out other than shutting down the whole outside world. Vapers as a whole just don't seem to be that way.

Wanna buy some lottery tickets??????????

I don't get it personally. My mother in law pulls the 'woe is me, now gimme shit' crap (while going to the casino or bingo frequently) and I just don't understand it. It's not fun. I've been broke enough to need help before and that is EMBARRASSING. Hell, I'm probably still broke enough to need help but it's not worth the icky feelings and effort required to prove it if I can feasibly manage without it.

People are just... Strange.

You handled that well. He should have come to you and been very thankful to get what you offered. You shouldn't have to drive all over town looking for him.

Lots of people like that these days. Reminds me of the panhandlers that get done with their 'shift' and walk around the corner and jump in their mercedes suv. I've seen it on other forums, 'help, I have issues, I have medical conditions, my family members are dying left and right please help me out'. Then they stay IN said forums and after being helped out start criticizing other shit and asking opinions about new high dollar hardware. Like damn, either you've got the largest set of balls I've ever seen or no shred of dignity. Not even a little. I sleep pretty well at night, not sure how some manage. Medication possibly.

Did you also post in the Facebook group that he was scamming so that way others can be warned?

If you don't mind me asking what group was it?

Some people have no shame in their game and beefing for free shit . I personally think it's disgusting

You should have taken a gun with you because that sounded like a robbery waiting to happen.

Yeah, I may be a little paranoid.

You're definetly not paranoid. When I sell something or buy something through Facebook or Craigslist I make it a part of the deal that we meet in a police department parking lot.
For those people who tell me no, I politely back out of the deal and tell them the reason why.

I put people like that on ignore...since they can obviously afford a cell phone with web, at least, they can afford whatever they are trying to panhandle from nice people

Ehhhh, not a good indicator. My phone with unlimited data is cheaper than a landline. Gotta realise the prepaid with data start at ~30 a month, and everything from jobs to assistance programs require you apply online now

Edit: also just remembered the free government/'Obama' phones are switching to smart phones with minimal data as well, so anywhere with free Wi-Fi allows those to use the internet normally
