This is about as humbling an experience as I have ever had, and I just don't know what else to do...
I am at the beach in Fort Lauderdale, I came back to my car that I had parked in one of the hotel parking lots to find my car had been broken into and my wallet stolen.
The only thing I have is an old out of service phone and thank God, my Driver's licsence that I keep in there..
I am out of gas and have no way to get home or to work in the morning.
I have none of my numbers and no one I can call to help.
I NEED HELP.
If anyone could Western Union me some gas money I would send it right back tomorrow morning.
I know. This is so embarrassing, but I don't know what else to do. I have tried calling anyone who could help and cant reach ANYONE.
I cannot miss work. I don't know what else to do CP...
I'm so embarrassed..
Can anyone help, or offer a suggestion?
I am so stressed right now. [Reply]

I have for the most part, been happy my whole life although I've been through a lot.
However my sons mother moved a few hrs away and took my son and I have been living with an emptiness and misery that I cant put into words and it's affecting my entire existence. I cant concentrate. I'm depressed. I'm just....
Anyway. Thanks everyone. Sorry for looking sketchy and shit. Really wasn't anything dishonest behind my plea. Just a lack of preparation and disorganization.
Thanks again.
bummer, man.
Hang in there..the current situation doesn't define your life, it's a just a small part of it.
Be strong for your son. Things will get better. [Reply]

I think the issue is that I've been approached by people in a parking lot who "ran out of gas and have no money to get home" countless times, and at least a few of them have been out there again a few weeks later with the same story. Add in Western Union, which is one of the most common transfer services used in scams, and I can understand the skepticism.
It sounds like BT is legit here, but you have to admit that this sounds pretty scammy if you didn't know the guy previously. [Reply]

Eh. If BT was a fraud the sleuths here would have wrecked him years ago.
And it was $10. Not like he’s asking for the world here. [Reply]

You know what this place needs? Someone threatening to sue. Nothin brings this place together like obliterating morons that think they can sue. :-) [Reply]

The dude admitted to having a drug problem what, 10 - 12 years ago and that's the first fucking thing you go to. [Reply]
Not that its applicable in BT's case but a good rule of thumb is to familiarize yourself with your auto policy. A lot of people pay for roadside assistance through their policy and either don't know it, forget about it, or think it's only for a tow, and don't realize they'll bring you a couple gallons of gas as well.
Lol, I thought about making a similar thread looking for a ride once after I lost my keys at a concert in Lawrence and my wife was out of town. I got a ride back to KC and spent the night on my front porch. None of my friends were around, so after my keys were found and I got them back the next day, I Uber'd to Union Station and took an Amtrak back to Lawrence to get my car and drive it back to KC. Sometimes shit just happens. [Reply]
