Snakey motherfucker.

Firstly - I didn't know the sumbitch was an alcoholic.

Secondly, I had only known him from the gym when he stopped in from time to time.
However, having no idea who the fuck he was, he had told me yesterday he's a sibling to a very accomplished power lifter that I do know personally, which I was surprised by - but there you have it.

So, with that in mind, I stopped to chit chat with the motherfucker.
Throughout the course of the conversation, it became apparent this fool is a wanna-be "gang-star".

Now I went through a phase when I was about 14 - and snapped out of it entirely when I was 16.
This fool is 32 years old.

Pathetic.

Anyways, next thing he's telling me he's going to prison for 6 months in a couple days.

Blah blah blah - but in speaking with him, he doesn't seem like a total fucking fruit. Nice enough chap but, edgy motherfucker.
I'm not jumping to any rash conclusions.

This is all outside a local grocery store BTW.

So eventually I say, "good talking to you, see you about", and bounce.

Now, something about the sumbitch, gives me the willies.
He's just very tense or some shit.
So I take my time grocery shopping, not wanting to meet the motherfucker again on my way out.

A good 20 minutes shopping, I'm stood in the queue, tap on the shoulder.

"Hey! What's happening now!?".

"Christ" - I'm thinking.

I'm guessing perhaps he was actually waiting outside the store for someone such as myself, specifically to attempt to "borrow" money from them.

"Say, bro - could you help me out with 5 dollards?".

He had obviously lulled me into a false sense of relaxation - which I have no doubt he had planned out, or planned to do with some sucker, and then spring the question - making it quite difficult to say, "no fuck off!!".

I don't even hesitate - "sure man, no problem".

He had also told me he had issues with gambling; apparently he wanted a "blow out", his last few days before prison.

We go outside, and he actually holds out his hand for the money - the fucking crawler.


I know right - it's only five bucks.
If he had asked for ten, would have said "no can't do it" - but five?
How could I say no?

But it's not the money.
It's the fact that I was suckered.

Plus - I even got the feeling he wasn't asking just for the money.
It was just as much a case of WANTING to sucker me; a dude that's not a bottom feeding dreg, just got suckered by a bottom feeding dreg - "fuck you pal" - almost like an ego thing.


Well - he accomplished it.

I don't think this necessarily makes me more prejudiced against alcoholics, but it definitely raises my sense of caution around them in future.
 
Anytime people ask me for money I apologize and talk about my upcoming bills like child support while walking away.

Take it as a $5 lesson.
 
I don't know if any of you guys recall but - I made a thread about a year ago about sharing accommodation with junky/alcoholic, also.

He had done the same thing; lulled me into a false sense of security with his "nice guy" ways, and then once I gave him the room to rent, he started drinking heavily and using the house a crack den, basically.

Bottom line being - what the fuck is the deal with these people?

Now that guy, the guy from a year ago - his mother was an alcoholic, and his father a convict - match made in heaven, right?


But it's these dudes that want to be "bad boys" - but ultimately come from good stock and sabotage themselves cause of what they think is "cool" - them motherfuckers, I don't really care for them.

Possibly what was up with this guy yesterday.

Child support.

That's good - I like that.

Gonna use it, definitely.
 
What other bills could I use - that would be effective?

Cause child support, people will have sympathy for that and fuck off, without thinking you're a tight sumbitch.

But what if a motherfucker knows I don't have kids - what other excuses can I use?

Just as back up.
 
Tell them they're severely limiting your everclear budget.
 
You cant expect me to read all that based on $5 at stake.

Been a long time now I've followed my mother's advice.
Offer to buy them a meal.

Many of them get really angry.
But if someone's hurting enough to beg five bucks , they need a meal more than the booze.
 
We've been through this so many times.Uppercuts
 
You mentioned that he talks like a "wannabe gangster," and that he'll be imminently incarcerated, so no surprise. Ghetto trash are all about mentally disarming you and attempting to solicit favors from you. My buddy and I joke about this regularly.
 
If they ask you for $5 you ask them for $10. The quick turnaround will leave them confused and they'll chalk it up to assuming they're drunk again and buggar off.
 
Next time just say sorry, no. And don't have a conversation with him. Say sorry, I got to go. If he tries to start shit go back in the store if you don't want a confrontation.

Go to church. And it's ok to say no. You don't owe them anything.

I think you're right.

Share some of the comedy you and your body enjoy, hmm?

Cause I definitely need more insights on these types of people.
