![]() I know...that struck me as odd too... It's like those guys asking for handouts that hand you a piece of paper explaining that they're deaf and mute...and if you turn your head or look down and ask them a yes or no question...they'll nod yes or no ![]() | |

It's the holiday season. Sadly, grifters step up their game during the holidays.
A couple of things about that dude creeped me out. His actions have the sense of a routine: 1) The man strikes up a conversation by complimenting you and appealing to your senses of vanity and duty. 2) He had the note that appears to be creeping out others here. ![]() 3) Ted Bundy and other serial killers have been known to appear non-threatening and passive people. And who would ever suspect ill of such a nice, old man? 4) Sometimes, God speaks to us through those feelings of unease we get in situations like that. I totally think you did the right thing. | |

you did the right thing. and more importantly you trusted yourself. most people wouldn't even have a conversation with a stranger, or even a neighbour. let alone give them a ride.
you are a good person with a heart of gold. ![]() ![]() LOVE ♪♫♪♫ ♣¤═══¤۩۞۩ஜ۩ஜ۩۞۩¤═══¤♣ | |

Imago said: CarrieMpls said: My dad said something to that affect. That he was working my sympathy and the idea was I'd feel bad. I was once at Lido beach and decided go to the quiet end of the beach away from the noise so I could read and reflect. On my way to that part of the beach, through a trail that takes you there, I saw what appeared to be the biggest indigo snake I've ever seen. It slithered very slowly and though I wasn't afraid of it, I certainly didn't want to startle it ad in turn get startled myself. I then looked up and noticed an old man, in decent shape, in tight spandex joggers (which isn't TOO UNUSUAL here in Tampa) and he asked me what I was looking at. I explained and he looked and we both marvelled at it for a moment. He spoke about various birds, manatee and other wildlife you could see near the water a the other side of the inlet. I smiled, talked, and was getting ready to make my way to beach when I noticed he was rubbing his crotch and what appeared to be a sizable penis underneath the fabric. I looked down at it, looked back up at him, and said , "I'm only fascinated by big black snakes, thanks." and walked off pissed. But yeah--what if I had been smaller, weaker, and unable to ward off advances? WTF? I have to edit everything. [Edited 11/22/07 18:25pm] What the hell?!?!?! ![]() ![]() Carrie, that guy did seem very suspicious.....I think you did the right thing!! ![]() surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years... | |

Yeah, you're right. And everyone's right. I know I did the "right" thing. I just don't like feeling that way is all. But I'm over it. lol. |

The old saying "It's Better To Be Safe Then Sorry" certainly applies in this situation. You trusted your instincts and that's good. I think the reason you feel bad is because the man was older, But don't let that fool you. He was just as capable of pulling a gun on you and driving to a secluded spot as anyone younger. You did the right thing C. | |

I don't give rides to strangers.... period. But I've given a ton of money. And I'll offer to call someone on their behalf but rides...? No. It's just not worth it considering the risk... | |
