Day 2 Round 3
Putting gas in my girlfriends car, I noticed a woman walk up to the bus bench and look back down the street for the bus. Sitting down she looked stressed. After a minute or two I noticed her walking up and said she needed a lift. I could see the desperation, and smell the alcohol on her breath. Normally I'm a bit paranoid about being conned, and ignore people that approach me, waving them off. We were going in that direction, and though I was in a hurry, I said we would take her. Her car had broken down, she was very nice and we were glad we were there to help her.

The alcohol would have made me suspicious that's for sure - good judgement call on your part there.

Mark, you are really stretching here. Very nice give to this lady. I'd like you to be around if I was stranded.
