After washing my car after work last night, I pulled into a gas station to put some air in my two front tires. While I'm airing them up, I notice a guy walking across the parking lot towards me(I'm in a nice part of town just as fyi). Immediately what goes through my mind is that I'm about to be hit up for money. Sure enough, "Hey I'm from out of town and I've run out of gas and forgot my wallet." It's an older guy, probably mid 50s wearing khakis and a polo shirt. He points to his car parked in one of the spots in front of the gas station - a newer Taurus. I open up my wallet and pull out a $5 bill since all I had other than that were twenties. He thanks me and I wish him luck and off he goes.
I get back in my car and sit there for a couple of minutes watching his car out of the corner of my eye. He backs out of his spot and proceeds to leave the gas station. No gas, just straight up leaves. I'm like, "Oh hell no." So I start my car and follow him out of the parking lot onto the main road as it was on my way home. I pull up next to him and I'm glaring over at him. There's another dude in the car. Neither of them are looking at me. I drive right alongside him for about half a block before he makes a casual u-turn in a break in the median where you really aren't supposed to be making u-turns. However there's a Shell station just on the other side of the street, so I figure maybe he wants Shell gas. I drive along and my curiosity got the best of me, so I pulled a u-turn to go back and see if he had pulled in there to get gas. Nope. No sign of his car. I got suckered...not as badly as the time I bought $160 worth of fake gold chains from a guy in front of Blockbuster music, but enough to make me angry.
I wanted to catch him hanging around the parking lot in the Shell station and ask him what was wrong with the gas at the other gas station. I realize how stupid it was of me to try and see where he went considering it was just money - and not much at that, but I was annoyed and had nothing better to do. I realize it's not that much different than giving a bum on the street some money, but at least they're not putting up some front.
