6 wheelchair-bound kids in the Expedition and he was trying to get to the hospital? Was this in or around the Home Depot/Office Max/Best Buy complex? That guy hit me up about a year ago with the same proposition. He was actually wearing scrubs and said he had to get to the hospital to work his shift, but his cell phone was dead, he couldn’t call work for a ride because they would fire him, he couldn’t call AAA but he needed jumper cables for his invisible Wonder (Wo)man car, and couldn’t I just spare some money “’cause black people from Emeryville won’t help me” (he was black). Nice.
Yeah, about three blocks away. I figured someone else probably heard the story, they typically have one story and they work it until it shines, pass it along among friends.
