Yesterday at the bus stop, I debated on waiting for a bus that went closer to my place when this man came up to me with a sob story asking for fares to get on the metro. I told him a lie and that all I had was my bus pass.
The debate was over and I jumped on this other bus. Did he really need the money to get on the metro?
A few weeks earlier another guy’s story was that he needed change to make a phone call. I pulled out my cell phone and he walked away.
On another hand, every time I make dinner for myself or what not, my roommates show up unwanted and hang around. I usually offer them some, but not the other day.
I wasn’t in the mood to share because I often feel it is one sided, and I’m always the one doing the sharing. After my roommate committed this cheese to community property, if it wasn’t already, I still didn’t offer up anything.
Had he asked, I might have given in.
