Would you lend money to a total stranger...

[paiseh]

in an hour, one can ask successfully, $2 from, say 5 ppl. which means they earned $10 in an hour. not bad.

 

5ppl in an hour, $2 each is an understatement. probably could rip off 10 or more ppl. moreover, some might give $5, $3, $10 even

[paiseh]

Then again, 6yrs back, someone fr Tampines lent me $6 to take cab home after my ex bf dumped me and left me with no $ to go home after midnight. I didn't pay him back. He said I look like his friend...

 

did he ask for your number?

[daojeff]

maybe they should learn the puss in boots in Sherk. like this they will be able to "earn" more..

[shirl]

i think the past cases i encounter all true case

 

other than the 2 chio lian, still got bangla ask me for money take bus, when i ask HOW MUCH U WANT? he also reply 70c

 

 

 

i gaave 10 bucks to an auntie once, but she didnt ask for it, saw her many times sleepin below my gf blk lookin all weak, dirty n frail, think got dump by the children or wad,

 

 

woke her up n pass her the money, she look at me wif a weak smile

 

 

i rather do charity like this at least i know, the person i m donating to gets my full 10bucks, rather than the director gets 4 bucks, the organisation gets 2 bucks, the admin fees cost 2 bucks, end up only 50c left that is the actual charity

 

 

i believe in charity, but nvm thru tv shows, flag days, donatation, road shows......

[badzman]

Strangers = NO

 

Friends = I have to see what is their reasons, sometimes friends just need that little money to get by, its really they NEED IT, to pay some debts or sch fees or eat, or what. So i will consider if its for a friend's real needs. & when i have money to lend, i am prepared to let them pay back when they are comfortable. I understand this becoz i was once like that, need to borrow from friend to settle urgent debts, not much tough few hundreds only, but it really saves me.. *but provided close friends only, ah pig ah dog no way*

anyway, charity thru flag days still acceptable.charity TV shows totally cannot make it.

[buttbutt8]

actually what if it is a genuine case of lost wallet or something? Any method u all use to tell or u all use gut feeling? I am thinking if ppl ask for $ to go home, can tell then to take cab instead and get money from family members when reached.

u just check if they have a lic or cert to do so or to proof that they are doing charity.

[bluelabel]

They was once a girl , outside a club asked me for $10 to go home , Pass midnight already , i asked her , where ur friends ? and she told me all inside clubbing. , so i asked her why dont wan to ask ur friend ? she told me , that she has to go home asap , and her friends all no money , only left for their own transport money home. . . lucky i got abit extra $ + was feeling generous that day (most likely becos of de alchol), so i just gave her $10 , and she asked for my contact no. and account no.

!!!!!ANYWAY SHE IS NOT A CHIO BU!!!!!!!!!!

 

and guess wat ? few hrs later , i got a message , and it said , I have transfer the money into your account . thank you very much .

 

First time ppl asking me for money! (reason i think is , the way i dress and look maybe . . . cos i think ppl see me also , will know arrrr this guy no money ! NO point in asking!

 

BUT ONE THING FOR SURE IS ! I THINK MORE THEN 20 strangers has asked me for ciggarette !

but i always give them , cos i know that **** up feeling when you need a smoke and dont have money to buy ! suffering man !!!

behind the pen. they only write a slip of paper. but my frens say that they can actually do that themself. and print it out.

[ah_tee]

i forgot where i read but some flag days were "contract" out to companies n not the traditional volunteers

and they share the proceeds at the end of the day.
